Quitting New CNA Job

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I was recently hired for a new CNA job and I have been working there for 2 and a half weeks. Immediately I noticed there were some red flags, but it's just getting worse and worse. Before I said I was going to stick it out until after a few months, then a few months turned into one month, then I considered turning in a two week notice, but now I don't even want to spend another day, week, hour, or whatever at that place.

I won't be putting this job in my resume when I do quit without notice, but is there something that I should be aware of if i do quit without giving a two week notice? I was going to apply to this hospital but wasn't sure if they can check whether or not I had a CNA job prior even if I don't include it in my resume or job application

I almost forgot to add, paying period recently just passed but I have yet to receive my paycheck for orientation or training. I now would have to wait another two weeks for my paycheck and by the time that paycheck comes in, it would be a month since working at the facility. I found this odd and have a friend who works at the same facility and she told me she got paid a week after orientation because that was the day every employee was supposed to get paid, anywho, if I were to quit within a few days, should I worry about them not giving me my paycheck?

If you can't stand it because of valid reasons, leave. They will give you what you earned. It's illegal for them not to pay you if you clocked in and out

If you can, I would quit. Do not worry about the paycheck, they do have to give you what you earned. They would throw you out the door if something happened. If the job is not for you, you are not required to stay.

So did you end up leaving? Also, would you be willing to share the red flags that you saw? I'm curious.
