  1. I am the CNA who posted often about the miserable conditions of the nursing home I worked in. I gave my resignation and start a new job tomorrow.

    I miss my residents and my heart is still with them....but I needed to move on.

    Thanks for all the advice

    Good luck. They are lucky to have you! The old work site will probably be cited at some point. Good thing to wash your hands of them. This is a time to celebrate! :hatparty:

    So happy that you've found a new job and that our advice was helpful to you...I hope you haven't given up on LTC for good after that horrible experience....the elderly are wonderful people to care for!

    Good luck at your new job, and let us know how it's going!
