And I already told them that I wouldnt be able to work there anymore and told them why. Very politely-- and I thanked them for the chance to work there. I explained I did not want to risk losing my certification if emergencies/childcare issues or whatever came up. I realize they need someone with less going on in their personal life who can be reliable. At this point I'm just worried about that because I am normally very conscientious and wouldn't just leave but it was a true emergency.
Hi there! Thanks for the information. I will look closer at the materials they gave me. I guess it is what it is. If they pull my certification they do. My son was injured there wasn't much I could Do
No, just followed around the CNA. I was given no patients or specific duties aside from learning the schedule and routines. I didn't even receive report from the previous shift.
Hi everyone, I was still in orientation, shadowing a CNA when an emergency came up and I had to leave. I let the CNA and nurse know why I had to leave and was told that I could be in trouble for desertion--which I think is the same as abandonment. What I am wondering is how is this abandonment if I did not have my own assignment? Thanks!
