1. What do you think is toughest shift

   mcclot1993 replied to mcclot1993's topic in Geriatric

   Yes I guess 7-3 shift would be the hardest or busiest to work. Each shift has its challenges but I guess 7-3 would be the craziest. 3-11 would be not as crazy but still decently busy. 11-7 would be easier to work if you can deal with lack of sleep...

4. Is it true that you have to take your half hour lunch break/dinner breaks

   mcclot1993 replied to mcclot1993's topic in Stress 101

   Is it really that big of a deal to take a lunch break. I never complained to my co workers at all. Everyone on daylight found out and made a big deal about it. I think they were more upset that I was not getting enough help. Another question. Do...

   No mater what though management always sides with the 7-3 shift on everything. It really makes them look better and superior to the other two shifts and its not true

8. IS it possible to get a job as an LPN

   mcclot1993 replied to mcclot1993's topic in LPN/LVN

   Well I thought about doing a 2 year community college for my RN but my high school GPA was not high enough to get into the program. At that time I was not 100% sure if nursing was my thing. Then I went into becoming a CNA which I do like. I work a...

11. Does every hospital or skilled nursing facility deal with a lot of drama and tension

    mcclot1993 replied to mcclot1993's topic in Relations

    Unfortunately I do not think it will ever go away. One thing is just because one aide or nurse did not do something right or lazy does not mean oh well 3-11 or 11-7 or 7-3 was lazy. Don't judge the entire shift which 7-3 constantly do to 3-11. the...

    mcclot1993 replied to mcclot1993's topic in Relations

    Nursing is a 24 hour job. People have got to realize and deal with the fact there are things left undone sometimes. No shift is better than the other one or two shifts. People just need to understand. Every shift has its plus and minuses. 7-3 s...

    mcclot1993 replied to mcclot1993's topic in Relations

    I wish they would realize that no shift is better than the other shift. Yes we have some lazy people and sometimes we don't do everything we cant do. I know my evening nurse complains about stuff that daylight left over that they should have stayed...

    It does not really help cause our ADON agrees with daylight. Its like daylight thinks they do everything perfectly they don't do anything wrong make mistakes or forget anything. They talk a lot of crap on my shift 3-11. We are the shift that nev...
