I'm a new grad LVN in CA. My hope was to work in acute care but hospitals in my area are going to all RN staffing. My clinical experience was mostly med/surg. I accepted an offer from the best LTC facility in my area. It's clean, professionally run and the acuity level is relatively low. Unfortunately the ratio is 30:1 which is actually lower than some facilities in my area...state standard is 50:1.
I'm scared to death...I need words of encouragement and advice. Can a safe med pass really take place with 30 residents....not to mention tx, assessment and charting. Can I do this???
Thanks T
