disciplinary action record

[wiSa]

I am a very new CNA and have working as PRN 2 months. A few days ago my superviser called me to talk and showed me disciplinary action record. A nurse wrote that I neglect to feed patients,took excessive breaks, did not set up & direct feeding to necessary patients. I am very upset about it. I was floating that day between two halls. and I fed residents and tried to do everything that I supposed to do. Nurse did not tell me anything, but next day I got this action record. I just started this career and wanted to go in nursing school. English my second language. I just don't know, I feel so frustrated. Some people advice me to quit this facility because this action may damage my nursing future.

I want to hear something positive that may help me.

Thank you

Quit this job, and move on to another facility.

Make plans to go to another facility where you are appreciated and treated with respect. I had something similar happen to me once and I decided that my work reputation was worth more than the part time pay and experience I was gaining at the place. I quickly came up with a "reason" to resign and just kept my other job.

There are few things that a supervisor can do that are more disrespectful to a worker than to give a bad report about them without having the supervisory competence to approach the individual about the matter. When a supervisor is displeased with something you have done or not done, it is their job to approach you about it before writing you up; assuming, of course, that what they write about you is even true. Good luck finding a new job.
