Re: I think I may hate my job! what to do?
I feel your pain. I'm 4 months into my first LPN job, also, and it's a trial.
I'm working in skilled nursing, though, and my schedule is worse than yours! I work all the time! (It's not just my schedule, it's the way the facility schedules.)
I work days - with every other weekend off. That means I have one weekend off, then I'm off - say Thursday - then work 4 days - off Tuesday - then work 3 days - off the next weekend. So the schedule for me is :
Off 2 - work 3 - off 1 - work 4 - off 1 - work 3- off 2 - repeat. I feel like I"m never off!
And I have 28 patients.
I work 8 hour shifts, and am exhausted by the end of the my day.
I wish I was getting med surge experience. It's hard to land those jobs as an LVN/LPN.
I do feel your pain.
