Helpmelol

Thank you for responding!!! I have one more question when you check to see if someone is wet do you have to wake them up?

I have a question. Do I still change residents if they aren’t wet? Just leave them until the next round?

Today I’m going to start my first NOC shift. I only get one more orientation so this will be my third. I’m super nervous because Thursday in the morning was way overwhelming and I shut down and was too over it to ask questions. I hope tonight goes well for me. I had no idea being a CNA was going to be sooo stressful ? Btw I work in a nursing home. Wish me luck. I’m going to give it my all. I’m just scared I’ll shut down again but I don’t want too.

So I’m on the my second day orientation. I’m a new grad cna. One of the LVNs wanted me to go out on the floor by myself while on orientation. I never had experience working these patients. Idk how things work. I’m still lost even after my first day. So they assigned me to this other cna in a different station luckily cuz I can’t go out by myself yet. I don’t feel comfortable. We have the hardest patients ever. Ones where you need two people and a hoyer lift and this other person who needs assistance. This one lady is too heavy for me and I almost dropped and I told her to just sit down until I get help. so I asked a charge nurse to help me because know one is around. So she paiged someone and no body came for a while. Then finally the cna that I was supposed to follow her fianlly comes and she handled it like a piece of cake. Another this lady slapped me because I called her ma’am and she kept saying she wanted to die and that I’m hurting her but I’m not even touching her. Making me feel like *** telling me I’m not a good cna. Ugh I don’t know if I can handle this cna job. Idk if I can do it. Should I quit? Should I ask for more time for orientation. They already want me to be on the floor by myself. Either this place sucks to learn or I’m just being a sissy. I’m crying during break. I just feel like quitting.

So today was my first day at orientation. All we did was watch videos and take quizzes and fill out paperwork. Then the rna showed us around. For the last hour I got to shadow someone. Idk why I’m so nervous to start my on floor shadowing tomorrow. I don’t feel confident in my skills. I noticed some people are very intimidating and one of the RN asked a simple question and I messed up. Like how long do we wash our hands for. I said a minute because I was nervous and didn’t think. He said no up to a minute but with an attitude tone and made me feel like ***. Another problem I have is idk what questions to ask. People on this site say ask a lot of questions but I had no questions to ask. I’m soo confused and lost and I’m scared I’m going to get fired. I’m a nervous wreck rn. Can someone help me or give me advice ☹️☹️☹️ I feel like throwing up
