Today i go back to work as a newly CNA. I had my first taste of hardship and verbal abuse from a resident. It was rough. Made me really question my existence. Even though i just started, i am already wanting to quit. I just cant seem to find a job i can endure with my mental state. 🤢😭

that can be a tough field. many of those people have dementia and aren't aware of what they're saying. not sure if that was your case. i wouldn't take it personally but i can understand it being a shocking experience.

I am sorry that you had to deal with that. I think that you are amazing and I don't even know you. Why? You are a human. I love humans. I hope that the help and service you give other residents helps remind you how amazing you are. You are using your skills, personality, and time to help other humans. That's amazing in my book!

I work as an HR manager and I have zero tolerance for verbal and non verbal abuse. Hence I would have fired your resident.

I do believe that they should motivate you in a non invasive manner because after all they should comprehend how it would impact your mood

Nurses and CNS are the ones who actually take care of patients so well and their job should never be underestimated.

Hang in there remind yourself you do not deserve to be treated in a such abusive way but you deserve to be a happy in your job!

Organizational politics suck but remember you have your own contribution and that is what special about you

Wish you well buddy
