I hate to even write this but I know all of you will understand. I WANT OUT of nursing. I’m an RN at a LTC/subacute facility. I work the subacute floor. I love the patients, but I am sick and tired of the BS that comes along with everything. We are SO short staffed and I do my best, but it’s nearly impossible. There’s one supervisor in particular who is constantly finding the ONE thing you didn’t do (like I forgot to empty suction container) meanwhile I do so much to help everyone else out. You write up the CNA’s because they sit at the desk while lights are going off and patients need to be toileted, and nothing comes from it because they can’t fire anyone because there is no staff. I always feel rushed. My documenting is slacking because I’m so burnt out that work has became misery and all I can focus on is surviving the shift. I have become a do what I have to do to get through the shift kind of Nurse and that is not the nurse I want to be. I will admit I have taken many shortcuts because it’s impossible for one person. (Not at harm to the patient) I’m wishing I never became a nurse
