Question regarding work history:

1 yr ago I applied & was working the next day as an adult sitter at a senior living facility w/no training or experience. I arrived very nervous about having to change this mans diapers. I figured out how to change him & techs would come in throughtout the day to have me hold his breathing treatments in for him among other routine things.

The girl that hired me said that if I had chemistry w/him to let her know and that she would put me on the schedule as his sitter. I did not call her for a week as I feeling terrible about being no training and it just felt wrong. I did not know what to do.

The next week I was called by the supervisor & he was yelling that I had not shown up to sit for the man that that day, but I never called & said that I had chemistry w/him & wanted to be his sitter- yet they still put me on his schedule!

Upset I apoloigized & said I could not work for them, I just could not do what they needed me to do.

Now this past yr have been working as an Ophth tech, received my CNA license & accepted in an accredited ADN-RN program starting in Aug. I have an excellent reputation & have 8 yrs of honorable military service.

Question: Do I have to put that 1 day down for work history for my background & work histories for my future jobs? Will that 1 day show up in my background?

This is now haunting me....

Tks for reading and replying....
