Oh this rings oh so true! LTCF are famous for piling on the work, but next to never give you the recognition or pay you deserve. I have been the Staff Developer for a LTCF for going on 3 years now and my duties include...labs, educational inservices, tb shots for all employees and residents(now we have 154 residents and close to 2,000 employees), care plan meetings, flu/pneumo shots for all residents with a consent, hiring new employees, general orientation of new employees, keeping record of payroll action forms, cpr cards, tb certifications, making sure licenses/certificates are up-2-date, I am a certified tb instructor, I am Director of the CNA training group, and I do end of the month recaps...yeah my life at work is pretty busy

Well, not so new to Staff Development. I have worked in the field for approximately 3 years. Everyday is STILL a challenge. I work in LTC and they have me doing educational inservicing for the staff, Labs, I am a certified TB instructor so I have to hold a class and re-cert our nurses every 3 years, I am Director of the CNA training group, I hire new cnas/nurses, have a HUGE section in general orientation in regards to blood borne pathogens, infection control, I am in charge of the flu/pneumo program, I give TB shots to the entire facility and residents, you think I am joking...unfortunately I am not. I participate in Care Plans every Tuesday and I do end-of-the-month recaps. Anyone want my job?
