Sick of working conditions as a disabled person

Of course once again I'd be put into a crappy place. The only place that would hire me is a nursing home, as housekeeping/laundry. I've already gotten physically sick at work a handful of times, once puking at work and had to leave early. The ammount of times I come home sick and with a headache because the place is too hot is ridiculous. I tried to see if maybe they could at least get a fan in the break room. Nope. I was told to just drink more water and have a wet washcloth on my neck. Which I can't do while cleaning. Yes, I told my supervisor I was getting nauseous. She said she couldn't do anything. I am not looking forward to when it starts to get really hot because I have a feeling I'm going to end up getting so sick I need medical attention. I…

I am not looking forward to when it starts to get really hot because I have a feeling I'm going to end up getting so sick I need medical attention. I requested to bot be scheduled three days in a row, nope. They won't accommodate it. I've had so many freaking issues already and I want to quit but I got denied social security. I wish I could handle the job, I wish they'd just try for once. I'm not overreacting. A resident had a wound, the nurses put (in the nicest way I can say this) the biowaste into a normal garbage bag and left it by laundry for us to deal with. For a week I had to hold my breath due to the smell in the hall. I ask if maybe they can get an air purifier. Nope. Can't afford it. But they pay us all minimum wage???? This isn't a private nursing home. It's a big corporation that had multiple branches and over 15 facilities. They don't even pay cnas more than minimum wage. I was told the wage would go up soon. It didn't. I am so tired. I come home and just can't deal with it. I do my best but get complained at for things out of my control. I was told my rooms were filthy because after I mopped a resident spilled food. I asked to not be the only housekeeper due to the fact I can't handle the stress. I was told they can't accommodate it and if I'm the only one I can just “do my best”. I don't want to make it hard but I have a supervisor who COULD come in to help but doesn't WANT to. I can't even find a different job because noone will hire me. Only the shitty jobs that are desperate but then they say noone wants to work. At this point why would I w a n t to work when all they do is make my time so horrible. I don't understand how people people this for years and years. I don't understand how I'm expected to.
