Happy LTC Nurse

Just wanted to give a quick anonymous shout-out to the facility where I currently work... I've been there a month now, and I continue to be astounded by how genuine and caring the administration is and how the facility as a whole really backs up its mission statement. I may still be in the honeymoon phase, but I go to work everyday happy to be going to work, because I know all I'm facing is general stress from the residents and their health/cognitive issues, and not all that PLUS a poorly-run company on top of everything else. The difference between my previous jobs and this place is night-and-day. Places like this prove that you can give good care and still turn a profit!! :)

Congrats! Hope it is not just the "honeymoon phase" like you said.

That is wonderful! The between a poorly run LTC and a well run LTC is like night and day. I have just left a very poorly run home, but have also worked for a couple I didn't dread walking into everyday. The one I just left has the worst CNA and LPN turnover rate I have seen in years, especially CNAs. I'm talking about CNAs walking out mid shift, numerous no-call, no-shows and working one shift, never to return, and LPNs are jumping ship left and right.

I pray you continue to be blissfully happy where you are. LTC can be great when things are done right :)
