I am new to this site. Hello to all ! I am working currently in LTC although soooo frustrated with it. Love the elderly and think it is a crime that they are subject to this in their last days on earth!!!! I am hanging in there and hoping in my small way I might make a difference. I have been nursing 16 years and will be the first to admit, no -where is it perfect!!!
Know of a group or groups who are currently active in changing the staffing requirements and working to improve conditions of LTC and respect for the nurses is so sad!! Let me know, please.I would really appreciate any input you have.
Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome. Tweety, point well taken. I do have much courage and passion about this issue. Appreciate the response, I think nurses can change alot if they all get on the same page.
