Well, ill start off by saying that i am 23, i recently became a CNA in the state of CA in the beginning of May with hopes of becoming an RN... I began my first job as a CNA about two months ago and i hate it entirely. So much to the point that I almost wasnt to resign as a future RN. I work NOCs full time and i have a toddler, the two dont go hand in hand. I work all night and want to sleep almost all day! I never have energy to spend with my family. And not to mention the pay is terrible, i know someone who works at a warehouse for Domino's pizza making $4.50/hr more than i do!!! Let me state exactly what i dislike about being a CNA (because although there are difficult patients, they are bot the issue, nor is the care that i am required to provide for them) -My charge nurse is completely disrespectful and rude and pretty much takes advantage of the fact that i am new and naive -When i was hired, they promised me that i would get a PM shift and then gave it away to someone else -They have messed up my schedule 3x and ive had them call me at 11pm to ask me where im at and that i am supposed to work when i wasnt and then got threatened for a no call no show -The other CNAs are always pressuring me to lie about vital signs when i come to them for help (and i hate that because i am not a liar) - Everyone i work with is always so unhappy and just ****** at everyone for no reason I really dont know what to do. I dislike this job so much already i cant see myself being here for much longer. If it wasnt for the fact that i want this to be my career, i would just walk out of this building right now and never look back. Any words of encouragement/advice would be nice or similar experiences. :) im trying hard to look past all of the cons and focus on the pros but its so difficult.
