Thinking of quitting CNA Job

Published

Sorry this is a long story and I need to vent.  I requested a fill in on OnShift for July 26th night shift for it to be be covered in June since I wouldn’t be in town that week.  A few days later I got a notification on June 28th saying it was covered and thought I was fine.  But then I checked the schedule today to find out I was still scheduled to work.  I talked to the person in charge of scheduling to find out she had no Idea so I sent her the proof of the shift being filled in a text I received.  Then I text the person filling in for me and she is still working that night.  Doesn’t matter cause I’m still scheduled and I have to find some one to cover for me that day.  I feel like they are trying to make it look like my fault even though I requested the fill in a month in advance and a notification saying I was covered. Texted everyone so far none have been able to cover the shift.  The scheduling has been absolute garbage lately.  One night when I was working only two cnas were scheduled and another we had four working when we are supposed to have 3 for night shift.

I am so done first of all I’m PRN so I only work a few times a month anyways, I don’t currently live in the city the facility is located in since school is on Summer break, and the pay is terrible.  In my state the average CNA salary is $16 an hour I’m only making 13.50 plus I recently joined an agency where I can make anywhere from $15-22/hr doing what I do now.  I am just so frustrated with what’s going on and the management has been rude and not very kind toward the workers.  Sorry for the rant but do you guys think I should quit? And has anyone dealt with this type of stuff before?

I agree with SmilingBluEyes. I would try to quit on good terms, as much as you can. Just so you don't burn a bridge. But this sounds like my part-time CNA job while I was in LPN school. It's not worth it if you're miserable there.

I tried my best but today I texted them that I resigned they left me no choice.  I am not available to work and I can’t trade shifts or cover because I don’t live in that city right now.   That’s why I sent a FILL IN request over a month ago and then later RECEIVED A TEXT confirming that someone would fill in for me.  I have done this a few times in the past and it was always taken care of but now it’s not working out that way.  I left because of bad pay, living in a different city 4 hours away, and bad scheduling.  I sent a professionally written text to the HR and Scheduling person informing them I resigned.  I’m going to start doing agency and I’m excited.
