I was a CNA / na and it is known to take 3 months to get used to a new job, before it even starts to become routine. These other CNAs already have their schedules mastered. They know the residents well. They know where everything is, how everything works, yet, they fail to remember how hard it was when they first started...I can sure tell you they made lots of mistakes at first. It is a tough job, tough facility, you'll get used to it soon. Every day I had to deal with disagreements, every week I was in the middle of some trouble, I would witness people get written-up- which was often. It was hard because I felt so much anxiety , I sat with residents just to talk for a few minutes, or sat in my car during break to recollect myself
Thanks for this!
