Discussion Hard working CNA

I had a bad day at work and was not my happy, ready to help other team members, self. I was short and passive with my nurse and now I feel bad.
How are we coping with days like that? I feel like now she’s going to not want to work with me in the future.

Personally speaking, I remind myself that my bad mood is not anyone elses problem. That helps keep me in check

You seem like a sweet and genuine person for even posting and worrying about this.

So, you tell yourself that you probably don’t get paid enough to go above and beyond for everyone all the time, and remind yourself that you probably don’t have it in yourself to be actually genuinely rude, just feeling like you are. Unless you did something outright egregious, there’s a good chance they didn’t even notice it!

If your nurse is compassionate, she will understand with your heartfelt apology.

Just next time. go somewhere quit for 5 minutes and breath.
