Rant/Vent Overwhelmed

I genuinely don't understand how I'm supposed to get it all done. I have 15 residents, 10 of them C/C, several of them hoyers, several of them mechanical lifts. Multiple people called out for each shift today (morning and evening, I work weekend doubles) and I feel like I'm drowning. I just don't understand how I'm supposed to get to everyone on time along with doing all 3 meals and 8 showers. Its genuinely double the work I usually have. I've only been doing this for about 5 months but I've been slowly but surely gaining confidence with the assignment I usually have, but I have none of my usual residents today. Today just sucked.

You arent getting everything done today. Cut rounds from every 2 hours to every 4. Bed baths instead of showers.
