    I am a unit manager of a long term care unit along with sub acute young adults. I am being currently pulled to the floor as the regular floor nurse 3 days a week, PLUS going on transports with fragile status kids, literally plus. I am unable to keep up with my management duties along with being primary resourse and reporter for any falls that occur in the 240 bed facility that I work. I have to oversee and investigate any falls that occur in the facility. Granted I have no risk management experience but am somehow responsible for all. SERIOUSLY....Please I am looking for reason. I have truely lost my objectivity of normality. HONESTLY please , really please help.

    Left a similar post after two months. No way to get the job done without putting in oodles of extra time.

    Wasn't willing to do it... no matter the compensation. Enjoy my free time too much.

    Good luck!
