Done working as a CNA

[Bellaxx392]

This is going to be more of a vent than asking a question. Its probably going to be long and all over the place but as of right now i can't take being a CNA anymore. I don't have a problem doing the job itself it's the other people i work with. I admit i am agency so i get put in different facilities but it's just so much drama, gossip, and a lot like high school. This is all nursing homes. The one i was at on Sunday is my regular one I've been at for a few months. I thought i was doing a good job seeing as we were short staffed and i had 12 people to get up on dayshift. Another girl and i decided to just tag team the floor and we got everything done on time. I planned on doing a double and was told at the beginning of the 2nd shift that i would be on the same floor. About an hour in i get pulled to anther floor and they had more than enough staff up there. I was told to be a float (do the showers vitals ice etc) i did the vitals and the girl who was doing a 1:1 asked if she could do the vitals and i take over the 1:1 i agreed. Well after she got all the showers dine she said she wanted to be back to her 1:1. No one needed my help and i still had 2 hours left. I took my lunch break, helped where i could but there wasn't much to do. The next day i come in for anther double and was asked how i was doing and i simply said i was tired. That's it. Then i was doing my cares in my assignment and the other 2 girls left me to do their assignments together. Whatever I'll still ask for help when i need it. I get my assignment done and have a few minutes to spare so i started talking to the nurse for about 10 minutes. Just small talk. Finish my dayshift without any real complaints. Evening shift the same thing happened where i kept getting attitude from a fellow cna who had decided to tag team and make me a third wheel. I told her i was going to give someone a bed bath because i had never showered them and was afraid they would fall out of the shower chair since they were a wiggle worm and a fighter. She said dont be lazy just shower him. I shower him it went fine and other than her remark the night went fine. Well today i got a phone call from my boss and she said this was my first and last warning and i was confused and she said that if i don't start working harder i will be fired. I asked what she was talking about and she said that the facility called her saying that i am not to go back there because I'm lazy, no one likes working with me, i complain too much, and i anyways try to get out of doing my work. I explained what happened with the few issues i had and she said that she didn't believe me and that it was their word against mine. At this point I'm looking for a job in warehouse or something where i don't have to deal with a lot of people. Like i said it's not the job. I can handle that it's the he said she gosippers that twist things that i can't handle.

I hear you, I feel your frustration. Mostly because I am feeling things alot like you are now.

We are FAR from lazy, yet, we are told we need to do better.

Maybe if we had been slacking all along it wouldn't be so frustrating.
