So I was just hired to a new assisted living center. It will be the first assisted living center I’ve ever worked at. I’m wondering if what I’m experiencing is normal. A little background I will be the only Lpn on shift for 120 Assisted residences in the facility. I will have three cmas to help with med passes but still will have my own cart to pass meds for 40 of the patients. I will also have 4 cnas to help the residence with adls. I’m wondering if that’s a normal work load as I will have to do all incident reports and normal charge nurse duties as well as make sure the cmas and cnas are doing what needs to be done as they work under my license since I’m the only licensed person there. I will also be responsible for a set of assessments every month. I’ve never worked in this field so I just want to be sure I’m not being railroaded.
