I work as a CNA right now and am starting nursing school in 1 week.

My last scheduled day is August 16th.

I can pick up more days until I move to my new apartment. I probably will since they are easy night shifts.

Anyways, I have been a CNA for 2 years. I am 19 right now.

The nursing home I work at is TREACHEROUS. The management does not care about their employees at all, there is way too much work, and we are accepting new patients and losing employees. We are down to one full-time PM CNA. One. They can't find anyone else to hire. In dietary, as a CNA, as a nurse, anywhere. It is that horrible.

Anyways, I was only staying these past 2 weeks for my $500 bonus. I asked the prior administrator and she said the $500 will get split into payments at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. I have been working 4 months and the girl and I who got hired on the exact same date both did not get our first $150 bonus payment.

I had to ask them and they said they forgot about it and it will be coming on my next paycheck in 2 weeks. Then they told me that since I am going to college and am student status that I do not get it anymore.

I cannot do this anymore. We have 33 patients for 2 CNAs and at the least 5 call lights going off at once to toilet and get to bed. The management ignores everyone and goes back in their office's after asked politely if they could pour drinks or help our for 10 minutes.

I've even caught management gossiping about employees and patients.

Should I fewl guilty for quitting employment only since I don't have that $500 bonus coming? I am already hired as a waitress at a very fancy restaurant where I will be making more. I already have $22k saved up for college and technically don't need the money.

Last night, I was scheduled 10pm to 4am. I had a shift at 6am to 2pm. I wanted to go home for those two hours to sleep. The person who does schedules told me and wrote on the schedule that I could leave at 4am. Guess what? There was no other CNA that came in at 4am. Guess who had to stay until 6am and work 14 hours straight? Me

I don't mind the 14 hours. It hust pissed me off that they didn't do their job.

What would you do? Would you feel guilty? Thanks much!
