very very over whelmed!

ughhh this job is killing me! I took a positon as a Nurse Manager of a 40 bed rehab unit. I generally have a couple of admissions a week as well as Planning discharge meeting one day a week and One whole day is devoted to patient care conferences. I spend about 90% of my day on the phone answering phone calls or dealing with staff issues..aka bickering! My major issue is their expectations for the unit. I have 4 CNA's to the Unit so thats 10 patients each. 2 LPN's which do the medicaiton pass. They expect that all the patients are up and ready my their appointed time but that also call bells are answered promptly. now if the majority of the patients are 2 Assist when is there time for the multiple call bells to be answered. I try to help out but it burys me in deeper and later. at this point I do not get to eat or take any breaks thru out the day annnnndddd I am there 45 minutes late each day. I love the job but i can't take it anymore! this job is undo able they have gone thru 3 nurse managers alone last year in its self. I swear i just want to go back to the ICU and get my sanity back!
