I feel so dumb and they probably think it as well?

I work with clients who have intellectual disabilities and we do medications.

I forgot to do someone’s eye drops this morning and one of the girls asked me if I gave it cause I signed off on it. I said no, and immediately did it. I feel so stupid, I’m still new and learning. She probably thinks I’m dumb. She asked cause we have to double check med passes when we do it, but now she probably thinks I’m incompetent.

Last night I was on my own the first time.

I feel like I’m slow and they think I’m dumb.

I’m honestly surprised I passed my CNA, I think I’m mentally and academically slow.

But maybe I am okay since they think I am competent at giving meds?

Maybe I’m smarter than I think?

This is my first time job where I’m giving medications, I’d love to be a nurse someday but if I’m going to be forgetting meds then I shouldn’t probably be one.

I don’t feel like I fit in either, it’s my second night on my own again. One of the girls that trained me got bossy with me one day and I told her “I can only do one thing at a time”
