I don’t know what is happening?
I’m a CNA in the hospital, I’m quiet and stick to my own thing. I’m very eager to help the nurses, I rarely say no but there’s been times I did. I like to keep myself busy because the night goes faster that way.
I sat by myself for a long time when I first started then began sitting up by the nurses. They are my age and some are younger but they seem so mature and they are all friends and hang outside of work. Looks wise I am fat and they are thin and very gorgeous.
Anyways I’ve made mistakes and I have told a nurse she was “rude”. But now she always says how much of a sweetheart I am. they do get a little bossy but I try not to let it bother me. One nurse said to me “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to be bossy” and I said “I’d let you know if you were being too much” she was like “oh really?”.. honestly I just said that 😂 I don’t like confrontation. One nurse said “I’d hate to see a patient be mean to you” and another one said “yeah I’d beat them up if they were”. Sometimes when they get bossy I respond with sarcasm like “kinda bossy aren’t ya?”
I’m afraid they talk about how weird I am or how dumb I am, they have a group chat. And even though they are sweet and tell me I do a great job I feel like they think I’m slow. But maybe it’s just my own mind that thinks that.
Am I that hopeless they think I can’t stick up for myself? What are some ways I can be assertive or am I doing the right thing by just being like this? Outside of work I’m the total opposite, I’m not quite as reserved and don’t let people tell me what to do. I just figure at work we are at a professional job and I don’t want to cause issues but I don’t want them thinking it’s okay to boss or take advantage of me. Does that make sense? Any advice? I’m 26 and I feel like a kid honestly. I don't know if I can do this kind of work forever cause I’m worried about my back.
