I cant take it!~!!!

[bullesh]

What should I do? I work at a LTC as a charge nurse. Now when I started this job a week ago I noticed problems. Anyway today I came to work only to find out that I would be the only nurse in the entire building with 53 residents under my care . Everything was fine until it came to my break time finding out that I dont get one. Needless to say I'm 4 months preggers. I am so ready to call state is this right? What should I do I already quit once before within this 1 week span.

Many times, facilities hide these facts until you start working there for yourself. And, I'm not sure if a perspective employee is able to make rounds, interview incumbant staff members and residents as well as obtain truthful information from the powers that be. In fact, many facilities seem to steer people away from situations where they can ask too many questions before being hired.

Isn't that a red flag right there?

Isn't that a red flag right there?

Actually, it may not be. Some facilities (at least where I live) don't care to have people walking around that are not employed at the facility (I wonder if they are concerned about HIPPA?). Or, a person can be fooled by seeing several people wearing white, but most may be CNAs. Many of the private hospitals in my area swoop on people wandering around that are not visiting patients. It may be that the hospital has something to hide, but it can also be that they are protecting the interests of their clients. I suspect most will not really know what is happening until the honeymoon period is over.
