Finally moving on!!

Just wanted to share my joy & relief!! Finally moving on to a better situation. I have been currently been working in a LTC facility where I am the only nurse on nights (I posted about this awhile back) and responsible for no less than at the moment 103 residents. It is skilled facility where I am responsible for Meds, labs, and everything else, needless to say my stress level has been off the chart. I just have no idea how they get away with this!!

In 2 weeks I am outta there, no more head banging, staying late to try to convince management to change the unsafe situation. No more trying to recruit others to stand with me and try to change the status quo. I will miss the residents and my co-workers on nights, they are awesome CNA's. I would never have been able to do my job without them.

It makes me sick to my stomach to know this situation continues, but for my own health and well being I have to leave.

So here's thanks to those who listened and offered advice on the last post where I vented.

103 residenjts to one nurse?

Good Lord. And good luck! Congratulations on getting out. I know you're worried for the residents, but really, you can't possibly fix a place this broken!

Your body and mind will thank you for this. Do you have a new position? Either way, good luck. Try to take some time to relax before you start a new job.

Thank you. Yes, I do have a new position. I'm going back to med/surg at a reputable hospital. Will have to get used to 12 hr shifts again, but at this point I feel I can do just about anything!! All I can really say is I made a major error in judgement when I accepted the positon I am in at the moment. Lesson well learned. Taking a week off for r&r, then I hit the floor running (i'm used to that!!)

congratulations!

wishing you every success...:balloons:

Congratulations!!! I left LTC to go back to med surg, 12 hr shifts also, I feel 100% better. Good luck to you.

Good luck!!!

Good to hear that you got out of that horrible situatuion. Enjoy your week of R&R. I know you will miss the residents and the staff. I miss my friends at my old hospital since I left for the bigger hospital in the system for their ICU, but I have made some good new friends. I know you will do the same. Good luck to you and Congrats.
