i am a new lvn and my don treated me very badly. maybe these are signs that i should've left but i stayed cause i am still a new nurse and needed the experience and be yelled at, unfortunately. i dont know maybe everywhere the dons may be like that.i mean if they liked me and wanted me to stay and do their slave work they'd actually treated me better and actually have a real conversation with me instead of telling me negative mistakes everytime they come to me. it seems like this kissing don's ass thing has to be done or something. i mean the 2 i've had are like foriegn dons. i;ve seen some american dons actually pull u over to the side and talk to u in a calm matter. or maybe everywhere its just like that. i;ve been in 2 facilities and the work and patient load is crazy and its impossible to even be perfect and on time. i've sseen don's good lvn friends make mistakes and they sorta... let them go cause they are good friends with the don. its probably going to be unfair everywhere. : / . i dont know. so is it really who u know and not what u know in the nursing field?

This question is for all nurses. Does anyone know if the hospital (which unit?) or anywhere else really have a slower pace, less physical labor, and less stress than a nursing home or adult day health care center. the workload is so high there that its burning me out. the snf i was taking care of 30-35 pts. and in adhc help out 50-100 pts. /day. i am a new grad lvn in california too. there seems to be like no ratio and laws in those facilities which isn't right. it really questions me if i should or should not get the rn becuase i really dont want terrible hard labor constant work conditions again. is the hospital any better?
