Need Some Advice

This may sound redundant or not, but anyway....here goes...

I got hired by two places in California as an on-call CNA. One is a SNF and the other is an Assisted Living Place. One of the places was only slightly better and one is much better than the previous jobs as a CNA that I had... I left the SNF position. The assisted living place hired me full time, therefore was one of the reasons I left the SNF position. The other reason why I left the SNF position was, it felt like that most of the staff there did not really feel comfortable or wanting to help me. Several times with a two person assist, I would ask the closest CNA who did not seem busy, to help me with the assist. She said, "Go ask the charge nurse." I went to ask the charge nurse and she complained, "Why do I have to do this? Why can't the CNA's help you? This takes up my time." the charge nurse eventually came and helped me out that time. I told her, the other CNA told me to ask you... She did not seem very happy about it.

That was not the only time on a two person assist asking for help. When I was going thru training, the words and mentality I got from some of the CNA's, was I don't have time to train you, so help me...I was already taken back at that point... When it came time to do the work after train, I apparently did not know where half of the things were.. So, the charge nurse was upset about this, and wondered why I was not being trained properly..That place also felt like that all medical staff were forced by hand to work as a team. I did not go to the supervisors, because having done that in the previous jobs it did not work and it felt like I was telling a teacher. Anyway I left that place, and hopefully I will not get laid off here at my new full time job... I like it at my new job.

Why I brought this up, is that I want to know, in the future, if I do get laid off, what do I do when I have to start and be oriented at a new job. This way of training seems to be the new norm...OR am I wrong? Anyway, thoughts would be great...
