Thanks so much for the support, it means allot. I am just going to take it a day at a time. and yes the residents smiles makes it all worth it.:)

Hi this is my first post and I am looking for some advice or maybe just to vent, I have been out of the long term care area for awhile, and I started a new job in a nursing home, and last night was my second night off of orientation last night was a nightmare! Two admissions, one fall, one chest pain and as we all know meds, tx's paper work, I felt so overwhelmed that on the way home I cried, it feels like I just don't have what it takes, and never enough time to get it all done, my co workers are very helpful, and without them I would have ran for the door last night, it just seems like the overall attitude has changed so much in long term care and those that work it, some of my co workers say I care to much and it's just a job, and what you can do you do, and so on and so forth, even today I still feel down and very overwhelmed. Thanks for listening.:)
