I know that I'm super duper late but, I just want to say thank you all so much for responding with such wonderful and helpful advice. I didn't even expect anyone to answer but a lot of you did and with really insightful answers. Thank you so much! :)

I'm a new can. I just started working 3 weeks ago. I loved the idea of being a cna before nursing school. I LOVE helping people, caring for people and the thought of being a hardworking cna made me smile. but this job is killing me honestly. Not only am I not able to help and care for my residents like I want to, but my feet and back are killing me everyday. I can only count on about 2 coworkers that like to help when I need help. And most of the time I NEED HELP. Most of the residents they assigned to me are either super heavy or super needy! 4 of them are large & heavy which makes it hard as hell to turn and change them. 4 of them ars pressing there call light buttons every 10 minutes and its Almost always while I'm n the middle of providing care. The nurses make sure to say over the intercom, "______, answer call lights 16, 17, and 23 please!" And I'm still struggling to change a residents bed because she loves to pee while I'm n the middle of changing her. I try to b fast but I'm really short and thin. I just feel really weak and unable to perform like the other cnas. If I take too long to answer a call light while a residents family is present I get in trouble. So many things going on at once. And to top it all off, most of my residents don't speak or understand English. Omg....I really just want to quit. I really dread going to work each day. It's so bad that I hate to have to give a 2 week notice. I just want to leave and never look back . And then during the 30 minute lunch break I have to eat in the middle of a group of Spanish speaking cnas. I understand its probably easier but it is so awkward to sit and be the only person to not know what the conversation is about...do I really need to do the 2 week notice?
