I've beenjoyed working as a lpn for 3 years. I've been at my current LTC facility for 9 months! I've battled depression and anxiety for years but just a few weeks ago I couldn't move. I mean I would walk to the door of the facility and walk back to m...

I've been at my current job for 7 months. All the other nurses I known (except 1) finishes the med pass by 10 a.m. (we start at 7:30 a.m.). I on the other hand do not get done until 10:30. There are bps you have to take and fingersticks. Tube feedi...

Hello! So here's my dilemma. I think I'm a good nurse. My employer says I'm good just have to learn my job better. There are things that I feel like I should know and dont. Like ALL the meds one shouldn't take while being on dialysis. Catheterization...

I work at a nursing home where i have about 46-48 residents. 4-5 of them need bp/ap taken for meds and 6 of them are diabetics. One is a gtube. So it takes time to do those things. I have a few hours to get it done but i seems like i cant get it. Ot...

I seem like I can't retain anything. I mean I remember things but I have to reread things constantly. Like I'm in school studying for a test , but I've been a nurse for 3 years. It's repetitive, my work,but you would think I know ALL the meds I've...

Been there since October of 2015,and currently still there. I was working both days and Second. Second shift is what was getting to me.7 months I've been there and I'm still not as "fast" as some and not as "smart" as others.

Same as my work load. I have 3 hours to pass.meds to 30 people. All skilled. There's a lot of.vitals you have to while passing meds..alot of blood sugars to.get and a tube feed!!! I don't feel like it's enough time...if 2 people can finish on time.so...

YES! I also tried to work through school and has a toddler at home..bills were piling up and shut offs were adding up and an eviction notice. Lowest time of my life. But I was going to school not just for me ..my son to. All the struggle was worth it...

I work with adults with disabilities. I'm passing meds,suctioning trachs(sometimes changing the inner cannula) gtube feedings and changes. Super pubic catheter changes vitals. Sometimes straight Cathing for a sample. Flu season I gave all residents t...

I'm the same exact way!!! I have really bad anxiety and depression... I care deeply for just about everyone! Sometimes I think that me caring so much is s problem. I've only had my license for a year but been a working for 5 months. I'm always second...

I've always wanted to be a nurse. Nothing higher because I like spending time with my patients and residents. I went into school and struggled. I didn't think I would ever pass. But as determined as I am I passed. And I passed boards...second time ar...

I feel the same way! I work in a home and we only have 6 residents or nurse but I fee dumb. Me "assessing" them for my own notes...getting lung sounds and not hearing what others hear

So im a graduate nurse and was currently working as a medication aide at a home with 27 residents. Is it legal for the place to have only one peeson on staff passing meds AND care on the 11-7shift?

I guess it was legal!. I left that place right after that incident...studied a little more and passed my lpn boards! I'm happy with my job now :)
