  1. Hello, I am a nursing student who completed the first semester of nursing school, which was geriatric nursing. So I wanted to work to gain some more skills through the Summer and I am hired as a Medication Technician at a long-term care facility. I did the first 8-hour shift and it was much more responsibilities than I expected and I feel like it is unsafe to do this. 1. There are no supervising nurses or even other med techs during my shift ( I was with another med-tech who trained me and I will have no one to back me up except 3 caregivers. 2. I have to administer dangerous medications such as insulins, anti-hypertensive, and even narcotics like morphine without supervision of an RN or even other med techs ( I thought we must double-check with other nurses before administering insulin!) 3. I will be responsible for about 40 residents so I don't even have time to double-check med and the resident name 4. There are no identification bracelets for residents and I still don't know their name. (I guess I should ask caregivers about residents' name) I think this will be a good opportunity to learn (because I get to do a lot of things) but also I think it is extremely dangerous. I am not sure what to do about this. Should I quit this job or just stick with this job and learn something?
