I work in AL. I pass meds; we don't have med techs even though it's allowed in Michigan. The Administrator/Owner is a nurse herself and won't allow med techs in her facility. We do have aide "team leaders" who make a lot of decisions regarding care of residents, but as for actual meds, only nurses.
It seems that AL is seeing a higher acuity of residents, and I think they will become more regulated as the trend is toward assisted living (I know of a few new ones, and ones being built in MI).

I just applied for an LPN position at an ALF but I'm super nervous because I'm a new nurse with a bit of a gap since school. I got my license March last year but took the year off from finding work since I had my daughter shortly after graduating. I feel like I've put myself at a huge disadvantage! and lost all knowledge since school
Is this a good start for a new nurse? will there be adequate training or will I be left on my own? I know I haven't even got an interview yet but this has been on my mind for all the jobs I've applied for.
