I just got a job at LTC as a CNA. Right now I'm doing orientation and I've been working on the same floor for the past couple of days. I'm the youngest CNA there (I'm 19). On my first day everyone thought I was a student and treated me fairly nice but once they found out I was actually going to be working there as a CNA they started being mean to me. I'm a nice a person and I try to get along with people but their attitudes are starting to make me hate the job. I try not to get mad and be rude to them like they are to me because I know if I ever need help with something I would have to ask them for help. I finished my clinical in 2012 and this is my first job since getting my certificate so I don't remember everything 100% but I remember the basics and some other things as well. I wanted to use my orientation time to re-learn things I forgot and the way they do things at the facility so that when I do start I could do my job well. For orientation I follow one of the CNAs and help them as well as watching to see how things are done. The CNA I worked with the past couple of days is nice and helpful but she floats so she will not be there all the time for me to work with her. The other CNAs are rude to me so I think I wont be able to learn everything and it gets frustrating having to deal with their attitudes (I hear them talking about me and laughing). Any advice?
