No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Well, I'm a little weirded out by the way you prioritized information. It seems like more of a personal beef because you felt the need to describe her and the way she moves before anything else.
Normally, when someone starts out with things like that instead of actual problems, their beef is one of prejudgement rather than any actual wrongdoing. Sometimes it even means that the person complaining is looking for things to find wrong.
I can't say for sure that's the case, but it's definitely a weird way pf presenting what is supposedly professional.
With that said, you aren't describing anything that would be a violation of ethics, and what little sandbagging that she's doing may be an accommodation rather than her not doing things she's supposed to. Not sure of your location, but employers in some places legally have to grant reasonable accommodations to people with limitations, which is not something that you would be told about because it isn't something that's usually shared to someone not part of that aspect of the facility's operations.
If you feel that this isn't the case, then follow the standard chain of command for your facility and then let it go if you intend to keep working there. Doesn't really matter what facility you're in, what the job is, that's what you do.
Hell, after just a week, you don't even know that this is the norm. There could be dozens of reasons she's slow, or hanging back that are purely temporary.
Aside from that, what it looks like is that your facility doesn't have enough staff to begin with. Someone with their RN shouldn't be handling normal feeding on a regular basis, that's what NAs are for. RNs have more specialized skills, and there's less of them, it's a waste to be sitting there with one patient long enough to feed them. It's awesome that you're willing to, and I certainly wish to hell more nurses were willing to handle business when necessary, but it shouldn't be something you're doing often enough to merit being bothered when another RN doesn't.
What's in the actual job description when you were hired? A lot of places very strictly limit scope, and she may be following those limits. Or, she may be working to standard and not doing extra because she wasn't hired to in the first place. It could be that you're getting shafted by administration, or that you're doing things you aren't expected to (which is always nice, but it doesn't mean anyone else has to).
If she's performing her duties to the job description she was hired for, then there's not even an issue at all on her end.
I dunno, I'm not there, I can't tell what all is in the background, but in my time wiping asses for money, an RN even bringing trays to patients would have been very unusual because their job was to get meds ready, set up for things NAs can't do, and act as supervisors to the NAs on shift. Tbh, even in hospitals where NA presence tends to be lower, an RN wouldn't be feeding patients unless there was a very specific reason to. They've got too many other tasks they're responsible for.
