I have a new job that I will be filling out the HR paperwork for next tues. I'm nervous because the reason I'm leaving is due to short staffing, poor moral, too many chiefs and not enough indians, but my heart wants to stay because I thoroughly care about my residents. I could give a rats patuty (sp) about the higher ups, but my residents make my day and almost make it worth putting up with the coorporate greed and dictatorship. But like all nurses in LTC, I have the fear of losing my license, due to the way things are run and the nurse/resident ratio. If I knew anything about politics and even knew where to begin, I'd love to figure out a way to change the way we treat our older generation. All I can say is nursing is not what I thought it would be, only because society has made it to hard. It all comes down to the mightly dollar. Sorry, just needed to vent, and this isn't even a quarter of my venting.
Amen to that KSTEC... its true
