New LPN grad in LTC

Published

Hi everyone! I got hired *:wink2: * I start next week at a LTC facility 11p-7a. I'm not sure if I'll be doing sub-acute or LTC, that will be decided depending on how my orientation goes. I'm a new grad just passed boards in august (yeah!!) and I have never worked LTC, however I do have 10 years healthcare exp as an MA. I have a few questions:

What can I expect on this shift?

Is it going to be very slow?

Any advice on my new journey?

Thank you so much in advance!!!!!!!

Specializes in Psych, ER, BICU, Med-Surg.

Congrats!

BTW, I'm a new grad too. Can someone tell me how to build my speed in passing meds? Takes nearly 3 hours to pass 23 meds. Will have to pass 40+ next weekend. Afraid I'll passing meds well into the next shift! HELP!!!
