For context I have been a cna for a year never had any problems never had any problems staying awake. I always go above and beyond. I have no excuse to why I fell asleep it just happened. I had been awake for almost 48 hours. My charge nurse had woke me up and explained to me that can’t happen which I apologized for and told her it wouldn’t happen again because it won’t. My patients were asleep and safe bed alarms on she told me not worry that she understands it happens and that given this was a first time incident and no one was hurt she would not report it. But the feeling is eating at me and I can’t help but feel awful. I feel like the worst cna. I know it was wrong and I’m fearful of losing my license and my job. I really love what I do it was just a very bad day.
