I am a new CNA and just got hired in an assisted living facility in my hometown. The boss told me that they were well staffed and that it is an excellent place to work. After my first day, a worker told me that I will want to quit in a month and that three new CNAs just quit. I noticed that almost all of the residents seriously need to be put in a nursing home. All the other more experienced CNAs are giving me crap because I am not catching on as fast. I am so very overwhelmed and I don't know what to do. I have another job working in a gas station, but I thought assisted living facilities were supposed to be more easy going? There are 25 residents in this place and you only have four or five people trying to take care of them. This is slave labor and I'm not sure if I should just stick it out for a month and then apply somewhere else. This is not what I signed up for, and my boss lied when she told me that this placed was well staffed. Any advice for a new, inexperienced CNA who is just starting out?
