Wow. That's so sad. It sounds to me like they had a great employee in you and really blew it. There aren't many nurses who have a 40/1 patient ratio and still love their jobs and their patients... more importantly, it sounds like the patients loved you. These LTCs always claim to put their patients first, but they don't do it by staffing changes like the one you describe. I feel badly for you and your "guys". These days it's the almightly $$ that comes first, and it's become a heartless business in many cases. May they rot in hell. I won't wish you good luck because you don't need it. Anyone with a heart as big as yours will be welcomed anywhere whether you "gave notice" or not. And they'll be lucky to have you. :balloons:
