I start my new job as a Certified Nursing Assistant in a nursing home on Tuesday. We are beginning orientation at 8am and I am really looking forward to it. I am very excited and blessed by God! I feel this is nothing short of a miracle because I was out of work for about 3 years (since March 2007), I did not have a good reference, etc. I was signing up to do volunteer work, but God had different plans than I had for myself. I am in awe of all that has occurred this past week. :eek:

At Mass today, I prayed for the graces to be faithful and dependable to my employers and to be patient with the residents in my care and offer them nothing but the best. I truly want to serve Jesus in all of them since He gave me this job. 👍

*From the depths of my heart
I thank You, Dear Lord,
For Your infinite kindness in coming to me.
How good You are to me!
With Your most holy Mother and all the angels,
I praise Your mercy and generosity toward me,
A poor sinner.
I thank You for nourishing my soul
With Your Sacred Body and Precious Blood.
I will try to show my gratitude to You
In the Sacrament of Your love,
By obedience to Your holy commandments,
By fidelity to my duties,
By kindness to my neighbor
And by an earnest endeavor
To become more like You in my daily conduct.
Amen.

Glorious St. Joseph,
model of all those who are devoted to labour,
obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously,
putting the call of duty above my many sins;
to work with thankfulness and joy,
considering it an honor to employ and develop,
by means of labor,
the gifts received from God;
to work with order,
peace, prudence and patience,
never surrendering to weariness or difficulties;
to work, above all,
with purity of intention,
and with detachment from self,
having always death before my eyes
and the account which I must render of time lost,
of talents wasted,
of good omitted,
of vain complacency in success
so fatal to the work of God.
All for Jesus,
all for Mary,
all after thy example,
O Patriarch Joseph.
Such shall be my motto in life and death.
Amen.

Precious Lord,

I lift up this dear Sister, who is such an inspiration with her excellent attitude. Thank you Lord, that you have blessed her with employment. May you bless her with energy, patience, and the ability to spread your love through her efforts.
Thank you for blessing our Sister.

May she have a very special first day tomorrow.

In the Name of Jesus. Oh so sweet is HIs name.

Amen.
 
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 deaths

Amen
 
Holy Mary, Mother Most Blessed, cover this dear nurse with your veil of loving protection and give her the strength, stamina, and wisdom she will need at work so that your Loving Son will shine through to all who cross her path.

Aw, thank you. 😊
 
Lord, tomorrow is the big day for DaughterOfMary6, the day she starts her new job. Please bless her and her job and help her workplace be a pleasant and a healthy environment. May she serve you in her clients and have a good supervisor to work under. Please help her to always do her best and grant her success in everything she does. I am so happy she has been blessed with this job. Please guide her and the other workers and please help make her workplace a Christian environment where all can flourish and live in harmony. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer. Amen.
 
Thank you so much to all of you! Tomorrow, is indeed, the big day! I don’t have an ounce of anxiety and I believe that this was meant to be because of all that has happened. I gave all my anxiety to God and said, “Thy will be done.” 😃 I am so excited!!! :extrahappy:
 
Today went really well (orientation). Paperwork is a drag, though, but I got the full 8 hours. Tomorrow, I start training on the wing I am assigned to, and that lasts 3 days. I feel comfortable here already. The benefits are great and the people are AWESOME! I really feel like I made the right move.

I also decided to drop out of my online class and receive a full refund. I signed up for it before I got the job and it’s a lot of writing which I don’t want to struggle with while I am trying to get used to having a full-time job again (after 3 years of unemployment). For me, that’s asking for trouble and since I know my weaknesses, it’s better that I take proactive steps now to prevent a negative outcome in the future.

Thank you all for your prayers! God bless! :crossrc:
 
May our loving God continue to be with you in your endeavors. May He bless you while at work, be with you, and keep you. Congrats on your new job! Praising God with you for His everlasting goodness!!!
 
Thank you, SDMom.

Yesterday was my first day in the wing taking care of the residents. I have to say that all in all, I enjoyed it. There were some unpleasantries (including cleaning up the residents who are incontinent), but I loved being there. I did, however, have to come home and vent a little because when I was helping another CNA, our patient almost fell of the bed :eek: but we caught him in time, thank God. She forgot to put the side rail back up when she left (BIG no-no!). So, that’s something we’ll both have to be careful about.

Please pray for me, though. I have heard that I might be assigned to work a shift on the Alzheimer’s wing, and I’m less than enthusiastic about it, but I know I need to learn. Thank you!
 
Father, we come before you with gratitude for your provision and care of this sistter in Christ. We ask that you will give her health, strength and dependability as she cares for her patients. We pray that she will show Your loving care through her acts & words. All Praise and Glory are yours now and forever. With the blessings of the Father, the love of the Son & the grace of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
 
Dear Lord,

Thank you for our dear sister. Her excellent attitude is so inspiring. I pray that her training will go well and that you will place her in the wing she will have the most interest in and that her work will be personally rewarding.

Please help her Lord through more difficult parts of her job and bless her as she serves her patients. Thank God for folks who have a calling for care giving. Please also Bless our friend with a hedge of protection to and from work.

This I pray in the precious name of Jesus,
Amen.

DaughterofMary6- First off CONGRATULATIONS on your new job as a CNA.

Sometimes a task or even people will seem unpleasent or not very rewarding. At my former workplace I had to change my way of thinking (or perhaps Our Lord had something to do with it). 😉 Anyways, I thought of working and pleasing Our Lord instead of other people and I would keep Matthew 25:40 in mind.

Praying for you and all workers. Amen.

DaughterofMary6 & to anyone reading this- Please pray for my oldest sister (and anyone in similar situations) and her family. My sister was laid off and is currently looking for a new job.

A Prayer for Workers

O glorious Joseph! Who concealed your incomparable and regal dignity of custodian of Jesus and of the Virgin Mary under the humble appearance of a craftsman and provided for them with your work, protect with loving power your sons, especially entrusted to you.

You know their anxieties and sufferings, because you yourself experienced them at the side of Jesus and of His Mother. Do not allow them, oppressed by so many worries, to forget the purpose for which they were created by God. Do not allow the seeds of distrust to take hold of their immortal souls.

Remind all the workers that in the fields, in factories, in mines, and in scientific laboratories, they are not working, rejoicing, or suffering alone, but at their side is Jesus, with Mary, His Mother and ours, to sustain them, to dry the sweat of their brow, giving value to their toil.

Teach them to turn work into a very high instrument of sanctification as you did. Amen.
Code: 
O my God, teach me to receive the sick in Thy Name. Give to my efforts success for the glory of Thy holy Name. It is Thy work: without Thee, I cannot succeed.

Grant that the sick Thou hast placed in my care may be abundantly blessed, and not one of them be lost because of any neglect on my part. Help me to overcome every temporal weakness, and strengthen in me whatever may enable me to bring joy to the lives of those I serve.

Give me grace, for the sake of Thy sick ones and of those lives that will be influenced by them. Amen.

Yesterday was awesome! It was my second day of training, and I got to work on the Rehab wing, which I think is my favorite wing so far. I hope to be assigned there one day permanently. Today, I’m enjoying my day off, and tomorrow is my last day of training. Sunday I’m on my own with supervision, and I am looking forward to it. Thank you all for your prayers!
 
Praying for you! I am in CNA training, too… nervous about going back to it after all these years but I discerned that we need to be better prepared to serve Catholic families who may be facing special challenges and so I hope to be assigned to home-health care soon.

God bless you and keep you, DaughterofMary, it is very rewarding work and I will pray for your stamina and perseverance through the days ahead.
