Specializes in LTC.

After 14 years in this field, I have made a decision. I recently accepted a position as a detox nurse at new medical detox center. This was a hard decision to make because despite all the BS I have endeared , I loved loved my job as an LPN floor nurse. This new job also requires me to move but it also allows me to be home the most when my children need me and to care for my special need daughter. And I might be able to finish school. In the last few weeks, I have been learning a lot about my new job and look forward to all the possibilities that lay a head. I wish every one the best of luck and will be checking in at times!!

Specializes in LTC, Hospice, Case Management.

I have worked in LTC as a nurse since 1986. Quit my DON job last week and moving on to a hospice job - where I will go in and out of LTC to care for their hospice patients. Seems like a fine way to have the best of both worlds. I'm excited too. Best of luck to both of us - there just has to be something better out there.

Specializes in Peds, developmental disability.

This sounds like a good move, professionally. After all that time, I think a change like this will broaden your experience and make you even better. Good luck!

Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.

Good luck to you!

After six years in LTC, I left due to the increasing complexities and the expectation that floor nurses create something out of nothing. I have not looked back.
