I'm really concerned about this. I'm a new grad LPN. I've been orienting at my first job for two weeks now. I'll start working 11-7 next week (I've been on days so far) and I still don't know all 40 residents that I'll be responsible for by name. It's a lot to take in and remember. They should all be in their beds with their names outside on the wall when I go out on my own but I can see how it would be easy to get distracted and confused.
It's just so different from where we did clinical at the hospital. There were name bands and most of the patients were able to give you their name and DOB. Any helpful tips?
