    I wish you well, always prioritize.
  3. Trying to Hang In There

    They mostly get angry if the admit arrives before 10pm. They feel if the admit arrived before 10pm how come you did not complete it. I have had admits arrive at 5pm, one of the worst times. It disrupts my med pass and families are constantly asking q...

    What shift would you work in ltc (long term care) 7-3 or 3-11? By the way I have no kids. I heard ltc is very demanding, would you work full or part-time? 12 hour shifts are not available. Would you work work part-time and get another part-time job ...
