Don’t quit!!! You are trying your best and most of the time that’s all you can do. I don’t know if you have complaint hotline you can talk to because not only is it unsafe for you as a CNA to try and lift the pt but it’s unsafe for the pt also. One of the first things of pt is if they start to fall and you feel you can’t guide them then you have to let them go. No one wants to be put in that predicament. Definitely needs to be addressed. Don’t quit LTC is difficult but remember there always other areas you can try as a CNA and love it

Good evening/ day I have been a Cna for way to long, currently working in a hospital. By the time I graduate I will have a 10 year ADN degree lol. My concern is I just started my sciences and I’m worried about grasping the concept of chemistry in particular, it’s hard to explain via web but I have no interest in how many electrons and protons it takes to create sodium chloride. I am more interested in the level of sodium chloride that is needed to keep your body at bay when sick. I have been working at this for so long, I am already discouraged (because life happens) but also because it is so hard/competitive to get into nursing school. I am worried I don’t have what it takes to compete or keep up. I have been told numerous times by co workers and superiors that I have what it takes but I like lack confidence because of how competitive it is. I am currently at a community college, out of the 28 students in my class 26 are going for nursing. Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.
