Rethinking On Job

I decided that I am going to hold off on finding another job.  While I’m still upset about my job, it will be more stressful for me to change jobs while starting my classes.   I’m going to wait and see what the February schedule looks like.  I will survive it.  Plus there would be a little satisfaction for me to know that I used them to get through nursing classes to only go somewhere else to work as a nurse.  Plus, I didn’t sleep at all last night.  My foot is hurting and I am limping big time.  Do you actually think they would hire an aide who is limping?  My job knows I can do the job while I’m in pain but the other place wouldn’t.  There is also the fact that I love my residents.  They are the greatest.  I had to stop and rethink everything.   Thanks for all of your advice.  As for how the other aides are,  I’m not worried.  I’m not there to make friends. I’m there to do the best job I can do and leave knowing that I did what I could do. 

Well, I’m not going to stay on much longer.  I’m going to go take a nap.  I’m meeting Steph tonite to go to the mall to walk and redo pictures.  I’m so excited.   I wish I had gotten some sleep because I want to want to exercise now.  My aunt took me out to lunch so it wasn’t the greatest but that is okay.  I will bounce back and walk it all off tonite.

    Girl don’t you be worrying about all those heiffers at the job. We got your back. Sorry to hear about your foot, still bothering you huh?

    That’s right use that job to get what you need to get. Then you can find the job of your dreams.

    Good luck in your classes. If you feel the need to vent about those heiffers let it out girl. As I always say laughter is the best medicine for stress.

    Girl, I tried to be a CNA….yea, that didn’t go so well. You must be such a special person to do that job….and, in pain too! Heck, I wanna go home if I have a paper cut. I would hire you in a hot minute with that kind of dedication!!
    Hope you feel better. Switch jobs when you want to….and I feel sorry for your current employer!
    Have a great weekend!!

    Sorry that things are rough right now, but hang in there. You are a strong person and you can get through this. You will zip through nursing school in no time and can work anywhere you want :) and not have to put up with all the mess. I hope that your foot is feeling better soon and hope you have a great weekend.

    Keep your thoughts focused on school and just take the job one day at a time. I know that’s easier said than done, but you are right if you walk in with a limp they’re going to think injury lawsuit first thing and just pass you over. Is the foot still healing and that’s why you’re limping or have you injured it again?

    Like in life, and the universe as a whole, there’s ALWAYS someone or something…to screw it up for all of us. It’s like Marge said, there’s always an Eeyore in every family and in every situation, be it work or like I said earlier–LIFE.

    This is the reason it’s terrible to generalize and put people in certain categories…the same reason it’s terrible to be racist…variety is the spice of life afterall!

    What I am trying to say is that you will have an Eeyore even if you change jobs…so stick it out if you must…if it’s going to help you get through nursing school and then you can move on to greener pastures!

    I wish you lots of patience, for I KNOW and FEEL what you’re going through!! Hang in there!

    You can do it chicky. No matter where you go there will be gossip and backbitting in this field, its unfortunate but true. Chin up and do what you do woman!

    Always do what is right for you! I had been fighting weight loss issues all my life and had tried just about everything out there. Then I found a plan that really worked for me. I don’t know if it is what you’re looking for but it is a fat burning and weight loss dream come true for me. I published a blog to tell my story and suggest it to everyone. I know how tough it is to try to drop the pounds and I just wanted to help as many people as I can. You can view my story and this plan at:

    Good Luck to all and don’t give up!
