I work in LTC as a CNA and on my weekend to work, I work 12 hr shifts, to help out. So I work 7 pm- 7 am. I'm on an antibiotic and it's making me so sick! I barely made it through Saturday night and I got up for my Sunday night shift and I just started vomiting and had severe nausea.
I felt terrible calling out. I feel guilty! I'm sure it's just this antibiotic being a pain in the butt making me sick but still. Been at this new job 4 months and my previous job as an aide, I was there 6 months and called out once, I had the stomach flu that was going around. I feel like I shouldn't have to worry about being sick. I always work and don't ever call out, but they have a way of making you feel bad for calling out. Almost makes you feel worse
I'm going to look for a nursing school soon... But does every employer make you feel so guilty for being sick? I've been an aide for almost a year and people call out much more than me. Idk why I feel so bad!
