⚠ Resigned work...back for a bit ⚠
8 years ago
Hey everyone!
It hasn't even been a week and I resigned already....
But I felt like it was the best thing to do....
The pay was shitty... 8.50 an hour... They didn't want to respect my days off... I had off yesterday and today and they told me to come in... I carry patients and transfer patients non stop from 2pm-10pm...and it's tough... Sometimes we run the risk of not even getting our 30 min. Lunch break... Being on your feet and lifting heavy patients for hours is hard if you can't get a day of rest. This is also the facilities fault for having low staff.... But still bringing in new residents when they know they don't have enough people. I get work isn't always fair but us CNAs do almost all of the work, they can't treat us like that either...
So I resigned.
I plan on looking into clinics since it's something I preferred rather than long term facilities... *sigh* I feel like shit for resigning...but I wasn't going to last....
It's also a shitty feeling knowing I got college education.... And I started with a shitty pay of $8.50 and hour....when someone without a college education can work at Wal-Mart and earn $11 an hour!!
It's humiliating in my opinion...
So yeah... I'm back for a bit....till I find a better job.... I feel like I can earn more with my art that I would have at that long term facility job.... *sigh*

But you did the right thing.
If you felt you couldn't last then I feel like it was best for your health ;w;
Honestly CNA's deserve better :I As someone who spends a lot of time traveling from hospital to hospital for treatment and such I know how hard they work, they always seem to be up to something and to always stay so cheery is just amazing, I know I wouldnt have been able to >.>'
But you did the right thing, thats for sure.
Just gotta stay optimistic and I'm sure you'll find a better job soon! <3 I wish you the best of luck.
it is honestly very sad to hear this..
I feel you.
Just keep thing, keep digging, and it might work out.
