Embarrassingly, I ended up crying. (In private, of course.) Not like, a big cry fest, but my eyes did get watery. I still had to continue my job though, but the whole incident was still bugging me. I just wondered if I could've did things differently to prevent that whole ordeal. She ended up being agitated all day and I jut felt really guilty.... Once I got home I still thought about it but I got over it an about hour after my shift. I just don't want to let things affect me so much or at least not while I'm on the floor. I see other CNA's and Charge nurses get yelled at but they all seem to be able to brush it off.

I've been working in the healthcare field for less than a year. I'm one of those "over-emotional" type of person. Sadly, my feelings get hurt easily, especially if I'm getting yelled at. There was an incident when an elderly women yelled at me for not waking her up early. (She usually had a different CNA working with her but she was out that day.) Long story short, she said a lot of negative things about me and how I can't do my job properly and all that good stuff. How do I become more thick-skinned? Is it something that you get better at with time?

I've finally decided to leave my current job. But I'm not sure when my last day is. In my resignation letter, I said the effective date would be on the 16th. Does that mean I work on the 16th? Or I'm officially not an employee that day?

I've recently decided to quit my part-time job as a CNA after only three months of employment. Being a nurse aide just isn't for me. The workload is just too much and I can't help but feel overwhelmed. Will it be okay to just leave with a week notice or should I give a full two weeks? I really don't want to work at the nursing home anymore. Who should I give my letter to? The lady who hired me?
