I love your answer Nurse Beth. Perfect. LPN of 18 years by choice!

100% agree with this post. I lived this and did the same with the same outcome. You make your bed so now you have to lie in it.

Excellent advice. ALL of it! Be proud of your accomplishments and don't let anyone take that away from you!

100% THIS!

My first LPN job was at a SNF. I worked there for 10 years and loved it for 8 years. After that we were so short staffed I often worked as a LPN/CNA. Get them up, dressed, bathed if it was their day. THEN do their treatments, meds and charting. It got to be too much and I couldn't take it anymore. I now work in a clinic. I like it but don't love it. I like not working short. I like having support when needed. I like not working weekends or holidays. BUT I miss the residents and spending time with them and their families. BUT I know it was a good move because my license was at risk and nothing was going to change. It still makes me sad though.

Don't eat the narcs. They frown upon that apparently.
