I too just started my first CNA job and have never come across co-workers like this in my life. They are mean and nasty. They totally ignore me. I'm there ready, willing and able to help and learn the job and they won't help me. They don't like me to follow them around and get annoyed when I ask questions. I've now done 2 different floors and have gotten the same terrible attuitdes from everyone. Now I'm a nice person, and I'm always nice to people, I just don't get it. I love the residents, and the place is close to my house, the pay is great, but the co-worker are really making me not want to go there. They all go out a hundred times to smoke, I don't smoke, so I'm left there by myself to watch all the rooms. The other night I didn't get a dinner break or a break at all because I had so much work to finish, meanwhile everyone else took their breaks, and where sitting around talking and watching tv, while I ran around like a nut!! I hope it gets better....
