Hello all! this is my first post, so hi and thanks for reading!
I haved worked in a pulmonology doctor's office for about 7 months since I graduated lpn school. It's a great place, everyone is nice and it's super-cushy! I thought it would be a great job for a new nurse, but now I am so bored! I don't feel like a nurse, I don't do any skills, just answer the phone and chart all day. I take care of a physician not patients!
So I applied for a position at a local LTC, it's a night position (10p-6a) (I used to work nights as an aid at the hospital and loved it), they have med techs come in a 6a so I don't even have to do a med pass (just prns throughout the night), they pay alot more, which I need, and they offer good benefits and will help pay for RN school if I go. It sounds great to me, but I'm still worried, I will be responsible for 50-55 pts with 3 aides. I think I can do it, but after reading/hearing how hard lpns have it in LTC, I am worried that I am leaving a stable job for something I might reget.
Any comments/advice???
