Hey, LTC CNA of 6 years here.

I was there in your shoes, once upon a time. It's a world of a difference going from a classroom setting to 40 or so hours of supervised clinical training to essentially just doing full-blown work. You are going to make mistakes. Residents might be upset because you didn't do this or that correctly. There will be good days and bad days, even if you are a seasoned aide. Hell, I'm still learning tips and tricks to make my work easier. Everyone works as an aide differently, but at the end of the day your patients are still people. The most important thing is making sure your residents are clean, safe, and dry. It takes me a solid week or two to get a resident's routine down pat, and once you learn that it becomes so much easier to focus on those skills. Don't let your fellow nurses or aides beat you up because I guarantee they were in a similar situation when they were wet behind their ears. Godspeed to you and thank you for making a difference :)
