I've finally "escaped".......and hopefully will never go back to being a hospital employee!
I'm working for a company that supplies employees via a waiver state program to assisted living clients. One of my duties is visiting those clients...and ensuring their "assistances" are compliant with the care we provide...on the same lines as case management.
The other side of the job is visiting worker's comp. clients and doing wound care.
When the amt. of workers' comp. clients increase..and the assisted living clients increase I will have to make a decision on which side of this duo/sided job to choose.
I'm leaning towards the assisted living clients on the waiver program!
I'm done with hospitals! I read many of the posters here..and found that I was not alone in my feelings towards hospitals. I think when you get to the point of changing jobs from hospital to hospital thinking that the "next" one will be better then the "last one"..and find out that staffing for pt. load and management is the same from hospital to hospital and finally coming to the conclusion that healthcare today is in dire straits....and other then getting out totally...LEAVING THE BEDSIDE was the only option left for me!
Good luck to all of you that are still there. I'm sure there is some that do not feel the way I do....and bless your hearts for staying at the bedside!
