angltnk

Hi.........I am a LPN in Kansas. I work the noc shift. There are 60 residents on my unit , that I am responsible for . I feel so overwhelmed . I am just curious how other LTC facilities are staffed.

Hi There. I to work the noc shift. Boy oh Boy do I know how you feel !! First thing I would like to ask you is, How was drinking (ANY) kind of alcohol permitted ? No matter if it was just one toast. Second, as far as people not wanting to work, that are working under my license, I will clock them out and send them home. One cna asked me,"If I go home,who is going to get my people up"? I said," I am". As a matter of fact, I am a GREAT CNA". It is a stuggle for sure. I feel bad sometimes about ( overlooking some things) but any kind of verbal abuse,or out and out neglect.......... I will clock them out. I pay the price sometimes for my ethics. I sent the cma home for refusing to help monitor the res. in the lobby, now I don't have a cma. I am the nurse and cma for 60 residents. Only in LTC huh?................sincerely, angltnk;)
