I work at a LTC facility. I love working with the elderly, but where I'm at I'm responsible for 33 people. I've worked at this place for about a month, and I'm begining to feel comfortable with the routine.. and the residents. But nights like tonight make me feel like "What was I thinking? Why did I do this?"
The hospitals are not hiring LPN's as much as RN's around here.. so finding a job in a hospital is close to impossible. That is my goal to work in a hospital. I'm young and I'm just starting out in my career, and I'm also pursuing my RN.
I guess my question to you guys is did you feel like this when you first started out? I feel completely swamped. And almost like I'm not cut out for this... It's like no matter what I do it's not fast enough, or not enough... period. I'm givin all I got and I feel like I'm outta steam.
Most of my co-workers are wonderful.... the other half are lazy!!!!!!!!!!! Laziness drives me crazy! I'd aprreciate feedback... just to know that I'm not alone!!!
