I'm a CNA, so don't have any personal experience with this. I will say that I know a male RN at my work who just got promoted to a manager, not two months after he finished his orientation. He was fresh out of nursing school too.

Well, I guess I was the unlucky exception. My attendance has been perfect and my health was great. I always thought I was pretty good about making sure nobody had any problems with me, though I also didn't go out of my way in making sure everybody loved me. Either way, I don't know who got me in the end, so it won't do to dwell on it much anyway. Would it really be a good idea to not include my brief history with them? Is there any way future employers could look up that history if I don't volunteer it to them?

During my first week, I received a warning from a nurse while working a different hall, but since being on a new hall and working with different nurses, I never had that issue and never repeated that mistake. I was still on a 90 day probationary period, which is why they were able to so quickly dispose of me.

Hello everyone, I'm a state certified cna who was recently employed in a nursing home. After a little more than one month of numbers training, I was called today by the DON and hiring manager where they informed me of my termination. They cited concerns with resident care as their reason, which probably means I forgot to wash somebody up. That's the only thing I can think of. This job was very hard from me from the beginning and it always seemed like I was barely making it by the skin of my teeth. After a month of working on the job I think I'm actually pretty decent at it, it's just I can't take back the mistakes I already made. My question is, am I officially done as a CNA? Is there any recovering from getting fired so quickly for that kind of mistake? I ask because I legitimately like the work and would like to continue in the field, I'm just afraid I've already dug my grave.
