My new work schedule is interesting. Instead of working 3-11pm, I now work 7am-3pm on various days, I love being done by 3 so I can have a "day" after work, but then im so tired I can hardly tell which end is up. Another nice thing about my new work schedule is I get to see Dave a bit more, and I get to make dinner at 5 instead of midnight, I also have a whole week off every other week, but I still work 3 days a week... complicated, but its pretty nice. Working as a CNA you cannot work more than that, you will kill yourself. I about have a time or two, or kidding but not kidding ask my husband to bring me home a case of beer. Of course I have not done anything of the sort, even though it would be nice... like the coffee at work, at times I am so tempted to drink some!
I guess what Im trying to say is Im looking for a new job, because most of the time you are ignored by pretty much everyone in the hospital, no matter how hard you work your butt off, you wont be aknowledged for the service you give. Or hell you have to take and get, and it just goes on and on. More days than not I have come home bawling my eyes out because of what I have to deal with.
On the other hand, Your job can be rewarding at times, when your patient is finally put out of there pain, or they get better and go home, or just those patients that are special spirits that you talk to the extra minute you have and they tell you a really cool life story that makes you want to be a better person.
That is just the begining without going into detail, really, I am not kidding. Well, you now have a tiny look at what I go through at my job as a CNA. Sorry I really had to vent. Yes, I do feel a little bit better. :)
