Frustrated at work.

I've worked as a cna in the float pool at my hospital for 6 yrs. As a float every night is different. One night I'll work on the floor if their permanent cna is off and I'll do vitals, baths, etc. Other nights I might sit with a 1:1, or I'll do line of sights in the ER watching up to 3 patients. The thing that I loved about my job was that every night was different. Different patients, different staff, different environment.

That was until the beginning of the year when the permanent aid for the surgical trauma floor went to days. Since then I have been offered her job numerous times, each of which I have turned down. I like the floor and I like the nurses and when I graduate in December I would love to work there as an RN but I do not want to work there as a cna. So it's been pretty disappointing to come into work each night and find out that I am on that floor 3-4 nights a week. Now there are 10 cna's in the float pool on night shift, why am I there that often? Some of them haven't even worked on that floor in months. I've spoken to the night supervisor about it and he just jokes "oh but they love you over there". I have heard the nurses from that floor tell the schedulers that they don't like certain cna's and not to send them there and the schedulers oblige them.

So it basically says to me: Do a crappy job and we will give you all the easy assignments. Work hard and do a great job and we'll reward you with more hard work. I don't like complaining but it's to the point where I don't even want to go to work anymore. Also, my manager has been changing my schedule and making me work every Friday for the past five months. We work every other weekend so when we work the weekend we either get off the Thursday or Friday before off and the Monday or Tuesday after off. We do self scheduling and it's on a first come first serve basis. I am always one of the first to do my schedule and request myself off on Friday yet the manager switches it so that I work Friday and she gives others off that did their schedule after me. I've hesitated emailing her about all of this because she's the type of person who will just say oh well I can change the schedule to whatever the hospital needs. Ugh ok rant over 6 months until my RN can't come soon enough!
