Hi Guys, I really need your help. I am also a new nurse at a LTC facility. I have been working at this facility for 3 mos. I started out with 15 to 30 patients. I'm always doing at least 1.5 to 2 hrs overtime everyday to complete my notes are to finish my treatments. I finally felt a little comfortable working with 30 pts - I still do at least 1 hr overtime. But I was told by my supervisor that they wanted me to work on another unit that have 48 pts. I don't know what to do. I want to quit because I don't think this is safe for the patients or me. Just last week , three of the patients on this unit fell and the LPN that was working, who has 10 yrs at this facility, said she will never work on that unit again. Now since she won't do it they asked me to work on that unit. I'm saying if she can't do it what makes you think I can do it and I'm a new nurse (never worked in healthcare before) and new at this facility. I'm scare I may loss my license working on that unit. Please help! I suppose to work there tonight.

Well I was not asked to work on that unit again, however, read my new posting (Need Advice Again) about what they came up with now. I believe it had something to do with me declining to work on that unit. Thanks for asking.
