Hello, I'm new to this website and joined to get some advice. I started a new CNA job a month ago and its my first time working in a nursing home. I work in LTC and have about 9-12 residents to take care of during my shift. I work the morning shift and I am having a very hard time with time management and feel that I am taking away cares from residents because I am new and fall behind on time. I feel like I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off and cry during my shift. I'm at a breaking point but trying to be strong. The other CNA's don't really help me when I need help and ignore me. The nurses are helpful but I feel bad bothering them when the CNA's don't help me.I never felt so low and worry about getting written up for not having time to get all residents cares done. By the time I leave I am not even done with my cares or able to finish charting.. I end up staying to finish everything but don't. I only had 4 days of training before I was scheduled on my own and I had a break down because I didn't feel ready so they gave me more training. I still feel totally lost and ready to just quit. I LOVE taking care of the residents and have a passion helping people thats who I am. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do? Will things get better with time? I worry and stress I could lose my license. Auhhhh -jaymarie
