I absolutely do not mean to sound cold, but I have just started working in LTC and most of it is a very long med pass.
While doing the med pass, I have found that alot of time is "wasted" (I really don't mean to sound mean) by the residents who want to talk, or complain, or whatever.
I swear I'm not being cold, I love my residents, but I can't ever get to do treatments too if I spend all my time on the med pass.
How do you guys past that without being uncaring? I really want to say to them, "I just don't have time to stand here and listen to you tell me about the day you met Elvis back in the 60's"
Ya know?
