too much work?

I'm 13 weeks today. since Sunday till last night I've worked 94 hours. I work in the health care, a CNA/LPN. I went to call in, just because I'm tired and asked if i could do a 20 hour shift. i told them no, i was too tired and hurting from how much they have worked me and to quote my boss, "stop using that baby as an excuse. we'll see you at 10." Is it wrong for me to call again and tell them I'm NOT showing up?

Most of the CNA'S that wrk under me usually get a doc note frm doc limiting weight lifting ... I tend to help them when I'm able... I'm goin on 14weeks so its pretty hard on me aswell w my 1st son 10yrs ago I had barley got my LPN license nd was Wrkn as a CNA I know it was difficult ... Most Docs advise u not to lift over 50pounds so an aging elderly person is heavier then that so I would demand help from the charge nurse... Also can u put in a request for vacation time or pto... Or u could also just call in and not answer ur phone if they call u too come .... Idk whr u r from but here in Texas the medical field is always hiring maybe look for a diffrent job... Are u married or in a relationship u could talk to ur spouse nd c if u Wrkn part time is an option

I work through the ARC, so I'm a CNA doing the job of a CNA and an LPN. i work in an aging and medical home so there are lifts, wheelchairs, walkers, and behaviors. its just too much. I'm here at work, mad as heck, and my boss says "See? I knew you were fine." I want to slap her! I'm tired. i hurt. all I'm asking is for one day off!
