I just started my CNA job 6 shifts ago.. and today was the worst day of any job I have ever had...
I worked on the Alzheimers unit today, which I love, but I was sick so I already wasnt feeling too great..
Then, I was moving a heavy lady from her bed to her wheelchair, and her knees gave out & she feel.. I felt horrible, but I felt I really couldnt have done anything about it..
Then, ten minutes before I was going to go home, I go to put another resident in bed, and Im moving her from her bathroom to her bed, and she just flys out of her chair onto the floor & got a big ol bloody gash in her head.. I think her foot must have got caught on the bottom of the wheelchair..
All I know is today was a horrible day & I feel like I just wanna quit because I wanted to do this job to help people & now Im just hurting them.. That, and I feel like Im not even getting very much experience, which was the whole purpose of doing this before nursing school starts..
Ok enough whining for the day...
