All these threads about staffing ratios are driving me nuts! I have worked LTC for 16 years now. Staffing is what it is people. It is not going to change or get better. It is what it is. The decision you need to make is "Do I want to work in LTC?". Be realistic about the job. If you continually have these feelings of things are unfair and you think you can do something about it when noone has been able to for years and years, then you are always going to be disappointed. There is no middle ground...you love it or you hate it. I hate to sound jaded but all these whining staff posts are driving me nuts! Continually complaining will do nothing but put you on a radar at work you do not want to be on. And if you think going over your DON's head to the administrator is the right choice, think again people. It's time to look at the job logically. Life is unfair. Grow up. if you accept the job...then do it! If you don't like it...then stop whining and do something about your own life....get a new job! sorry for the rant....
