  1. would you work for free

    Zergasaurus replied to mozella's topic in General Nursing

  4. LTC is making me hate nursing!!!

    Zergasaurus replied to Angeljho's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am in a very similar situation and gave notice. Three shifts left! You have to do the best thing for your individual circumstances. One thing you can do is assess how the other nurses are doing....

  5. How do I explain leaving a job so soon?

    Zergasaurus posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Long story short, after only 4 weeks on the job at a SNF/LTC I resigned and gave two weeks notice. There are many reasons for this, the most important being that I didn't feel safe working there...

  6. Common LTC no-no's (part vent, part question)

    Zergasaurus posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have a typical story, new grad working in LTC after a short orientation. Shift is 10p to 6:30a (reality is more like 9:00p to 8:00a), alone with two aides - some good, some not so much. Of the four...

  7. New Grad LTC Seeking Advice

    Zergasaurus replied to kasendamiles86's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would have loved to hang in there. Nobody wants to resign during this recession, but when your gut tells you to RUN, then RUN. My only regret is that I still have to finish out my notice, I can't...

    Finallydidit, thank you for your entire post. For many of the things you stated above and other personal reasons, I made the difficult decision to give notice and start looking for another job right...

  10. What is a typical night shift like in LTC

    Zergasaurus posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hi All! I am a new grad (ASN) who finally got a job opportunity at a LTC/SNF facility. The shift is from 10p-6:30a. Since the residents will all presumably be sleeping, I was wondering what a...

  12. Common LTC no-no's (part vent, part question)

    Zergasaurus replied to Zergasaurus's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you everyone for your thoughts and encouragement. Looking back, it seems like a no brainer but at the time I thought I did the right thing to move on and keep on with the med pass for the rest...

  13. Really depressed about new LTC job

    Zergasaurus replied to Jess84's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am a couple days off orientation and I already want to leave asap and never EVER return to LTC care again. Maybe other facilities, and by extension their CNA's and support staff are better but when...

  14. What is a typical night shift like in LTC

    Zergasaurus replied to Zergasaurus's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you all for your thoughts. I just completed 4 shifts of orientation and have 6 more to go before I am on my own. I am having some anxiety, it will be just me and two aides at night with...

  15. What is a typical night shift like in LTC

    Zergasaurus replied to Zergasaurus's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you for the information! One of the things I wondered about was when to start the med pass. I assumed there would be IV therapies and tube feedings I would be responsible for, but was curious...
