I really need prayers. I just gave notice to my employer of only 6 months that I will be leaving in 2 weeks. I had an incident occur today that was the epitome of a bad day, and I really worried about what would happen in the future if I stayed. I endangered a patient, though unintentionally, but it happened. It scared me that I could cause a death and I don’t want that to happen EVER!

This was the culmination of many events that have occurred recently such as my employer calling me into her office with complaints (though I never have been able to find out what the complaints are) and not receiving enough training. I was a brand new CNA when I started, and I don’t feel I know enough at all to meet their expectations.

After a long meeting with my unit manager and ADON, I decided to give my verbal 2 weeks notice and I am handing in my written notice tomorrow but today started the inevitable countdown. I am going to have to work really hard these next two weeks to get my job search started so it will already be in the works when I leave on August 11th.

I am also looking at going to Penn Foster’s online school to be a Medical Coder and Biller because the CNA job is just not right for me.

Please also pray for my depression. I believe I am having a relapse and I am supposed to see the doctor next week. I’m very scared of the unknown and I am having a very hard time coping with this.😦
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
Praying on your behalf to St. Dymphna, who is the patron saint of mental and nervous disorders.

I turn to you, dear virgin and martyr, confident of your power with God and of your
willingness to take my cause into your hands. I praise and bless the Lord for giving
you to us as patron of the nervous and emotionally disturbed. I firmly hope that
through your kind intercession He will restore my lost serenity and peace of mind.
May He speak to my heart and reassure me: “My peace I give you. Let not your heart
be troubled nor let it be afraid.” Pray for me, dear St. Dymphna, that my nervous
and emotional turmoil may cease, and that I may again know serenity and personal
peace.
Amen.

May we all pray for your new job search - that you may serve the Lord in whatever you do, wherever you are.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy. Amen.
 
May God lead you and protect you.
O DaughterOfMary, and we will endure terrible time patiently, For He is in control. And all will be well.
 
Thank you for all your prayers. Today was actually my last day because when I handed in my letter of resignation, my unit manager told me she talked to the administrator and he said that my resignation would be effective immediately with no penalty to me, which means that I will still have a job reference, but I will not work these last two weeks. I could not stop crying when I came home because I did not say “goodbye” to any of the residents or co-workers. I couldn’t handle it. It’s hard enough leaving a job that I’ve worked so hard at but couldn’t succeed at because it was not the right field for my personality. My unit manager hugged me before I left and told me that I need not think of myself as a failure, because I tried really hard. She asked me if I knew what I was going to do and I told her of my plans to go back to school very soon. That was a bittersweet moment because she told me that that was the best idea.

Everytime I think of the residents that I got extremely close to and how I’ll probably never see them again unless I go back with a different job, I start to cry all over again. These people became like extended family and I learned all about them. 😦

Tomorrow I am going to the doctor in the morning because my insurance will expire Saturday. I can still use it through COBRA, but I’m not sure if I can afford the payments.

Guys, please pray for me. I really need to have source of income (i.e. another job) soon. I am already searching for a job, but I don’t know what I want to do. I know, however, that I do not want to be a CNA anymore. I cannot handle the stress and physical strain of it.

God bless.
 
I went to the doctor today and my suspicions were confirmed–I have depression again. 😦 My doctor started me on antidepressants and I hope they work so I can get my life back on track and find a new job.

Please keep praying for me. 🙂
 
I will pray for your recovery and that you are able to pursue a career that plays to your strengths.

Sincerely,

Thank you. I am considering a career in Medical Coding and Billing. I am perusing schools right now that offer the program. I am also interested in the Pharmacy Technician program. I am doing research on both careers and trying to decide which one is the best fit for me. 🙂
 
Daughter of Mary, I am sorry to hear that you are enduring such hardships. And, as one who has also experienced the ravages of depression, I can understand the fear of going back into it. May the Lord Jesus Christ enter into your heart as the True Light and cast out all darkness. May the Blessed Mother come to you and comfort you. May she cradle you in her arms and give you peace of mind. And may Saint Joseph, patron saint of workers, help you in your search for a more suitable career.

I will remember you in my prayers this evening. God bless you.
 
Praying to heal you of your depression and for you to find a job which is more suited to your gifts …
 
Please pray for me as I start job hunting tomorrow morning. I have a few ideas and I am going to make a list so I visit and call a few places. I must find a new job immediately if at all possible so I can pay my bills and not have to borrow/take money from anyone else. Perhaps it’s my pride, but I hate asking for money. I had to take money from my grandmother for about 3 years while searching for this last job. It was horrible. I really don’t want to have to do that again. Plus, I am planning to start school very soon, so I need the money. 🙂
 
I really haven’t accomplished anything in the way of a job hunt. I really don’t feel ready yet. It hasn’t been a week yet (it will be a week tomorrow), but I am scared stiff. Please pray for me!:o
