Am I right that these things scare me enough to quit.`

1. Being told to work off the clock, everyone one else does, 2-3 hours.

2. Writing TO's into the MOR that 'the doc will accept and sign next week'.

3. Told med passes are too long, even though every other med pass has holes and medicine not given for days including coumadin.

4. Told the med techs do things much faster...(though I suspect their accuracy).

5. Answering the phone and paperwork has a priority higher than patient care such as taking bs, bp for HTN.

The world of LTC.

I agree - we're busy and understaffed, but WOW... Please - run screaming in the other direction. Do not place yourself in a position to put you're livelihood in jeopardy. I know it's hard to leave the residents that you've come to know and love, but there are other residents out there that will benefit from your care. Find a different job.
