Hi everyone. I am a brand new grad and I am extremely anxious about my new job in LTC. I have little experience in LTC - one and a half semesters during school (cut short by COVID). I applied to a bunch of various open positions in my area when I registered earlier this month and accepted pretty much the first one that got back to me which is a staffing agency. They hired me to work in a LTC facility on a 4 month contract. The facility gave me my schedule of 2 back to back ‘training shifts’ and then the next shift (tomorrow!!) I am on my own, the only nurse on a unit of 30 residents. I completed my first training shift yesterday and realized that I didn’t feel as if all the bases would be covered within 2 shifts so I emailed the DOC and spoke with the scheduling coordinator about having at least one more training shift. They said no, and that I will do just fine. I am extremely anxious and sick to my stomach at the thought of being in this facility, as a supervisor, that I spent a total of 2 shifts in with another nurse who only had me complete med passes during those shifts. I don’t want to risk my licence that I just got and I really don’t have anyone to turn to for advice, I feel very uncomfortable with how quickly they want me to fly solo, and I don’t want to be reported for abandoning my assignment, so I am showing up tomorrow, and I am expected to work the rest of my 2 week schedule they provided me. What would you do if you were me?
