Hey guys I’m a new cna and I have a job at a SNF. I went in knowing it was going to be hard and stressful but I can’t help but feel like I’m a failure. I’ve only worked a few shifts by myself and I already feel like I can’t do it anymore. It’s understaffed and very clique and people are already telling me that they’re quitting in a month so I’m worried that it’s going to be even harder on me soon. I just feel like I’m weak and won’t be able to properly care for these residents because on my own it’s hard to find people to help out with my hoyers. I have another job lined up which would require me to assist less residents because now I’m assisting close to 24. I guess what I’m asking is should I stick it through the summer or should I full on call it and put my two weeks in? I feel like I would be so much happier at this other place. I feel like the place I’m working at now is teaching me amazing skills to be a great cna but my stress cup is filling up. I just feel stuck and sad for the residents.
