I have only been a CNA since March of '00. I can already tell you that this goes on everywhere. I work in a nursing home, and I love the residents dearly, but there are a few nurses (okay, just one.) that lives for her power. She believes that she's God.. seriously, I think she does. Most of the other nurses are great, and I love to be around them, but when this RN comes in, my night turns terrible. She is always picking on me, and only me. My friend tells me that she picks on those that she finds threatening, but I can't see what is so threatening about me. I'm sick of being baby-sat. They pay me to do this job, I don't pay them to watch me and change MY diapers. I have considered quitting numerous times, but it breaks my heart to even think about leaving some of these residents. I just can't do it. The people that I have met since working there have changed my life forever. It is just too bad that one nurse has to ruin the enjoyment of my job.
