I am 46, grad of 2009. Never ever never ever give up

The training is costly, and turn over in staff is highly stressful on the patients. The company has great benefits and the patients need loving care. The hours are longer than long, pulled frequently to cover shortage in staffing, and short staffing is a huge issue. I am sure that issue is not only in this company. Best wishes to you.

When you do let me know, please. I feel the same way. Lost, only time I stop for 12-13 hours is to go to the bathroom a couple times. Stay behind. always. 4-8 or so patients. I am trying, I am 44 and have spent twenty years with the desire to get where I am now, I have only been lic for few months. I will not give up.

I am finding time is my enemy, not enough of it. The charting, each Doctor and hopsital protical is different. How to remember and keep up with what to chart, do admission and continue patient care on 5-9 patients and be a fairly new grad. Overwhelmed, lucky to have a job and how long will it last? Call offs and shorthanded seem to go hand in hand? How long before I truly feel confident? I love the work with my patients.

I have heard this same story from states all over. I was fortunate and got a job but not sure for how long. The hospital frequently calls staff off work.
