I love my residents/facility/job

With so many posts about less-than-ideal long term care facilities, I just wanted to say that I love mine.

I just started a few weeks ago (so maybe my enthusiasm is related to that) as a GPN on days and once I started learning the schedules of my residents, I actually started feeling like I could get everything done in one day. My biggest hurdle still is getting the mountain of charting done at the end of the day, but that's getting easier, too.

Management is very accomodating of schedules and I think very easy to work with, as long as you're willing to work. I feel appreciated and supported. My fellow nurses and aides seem to get along very well and make for a pleasant working environment.

I just wanted people to know that there are great long term care facilities, that not all of them are the "horror stories" we seem to hear so much about.

I take my NCLEX later this month, so I'll get the LPN rate, so I'll love my job even more then.
