Well no exactly certified. I'm training in a LTc. I'm looking for advice and guidance and hope this will help. My mentor that's upload to be training me is doing a horrible job. I'm seriously about to quit before even taking my test cause everyday I want to cry. She helps some what but told me I need to speed things up even though I'm like a week and a half new. I have a habit of making sure residents are satisfied before leaving them. I work second shift. I'm not organized. I never keep track of toileting programs or hs snacks. I'm not even sure what they are. Residents like things certain ways and though it takes alot of time especially when they walk slowly I get ******* at for being to slow. I always ask questions but scared to ask cause she gets annoyed. How the heck can I answer a call light when I'm with someone? I can't just leave them sometimes and they ask me not to. Had to get a different cna cause the lady didnt like how I put her pants on her. I try to make sure a butt is cleaned before putting a new attends on them. I watch my mentor dissapear to talk to others or when I have 5 residents that need to be in bed she watches them play a video game. I have seen her force things on and off to residents. She wouldn't let a resident eat in her room though she wanted to and they have that option. I'm seriously about to quit. I'm too slow she doesn't understand you can't put everything on a new person. I just want to cry. I can't pivot right and she's not bothering to show me anything.
