New grad starting in LTC

Specialties LTC Directors

Published

Hey everyone,

So I finally got a job after months of searching. I got hired in a LTC, they claim that the nurse-patient ratio would be 20:1, is that good? I've been reading a few posts here and I've heard that LTC is not a good start for a new grad, but I'll try me best to survive! :) So I'm here to ask for tips, and any advice from everyone. If you work in LTC, can you please share your daily routine? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks everyone!:D

Specializes in ICU, OR, LTC, Utilization Management.

Just an addendum--these ratios are 24/7.
