that's awesome,,God works in funny ways,,

I would say just do your job and don't worry what someone else is doing,,policy and procedures should be available for you to view for your own job title. I hope You did accept the job knowing your role.

yes I agree with you that she is doing what she has to, anybody who says she is not,,i think may be saying out of jealousy, cant speak for where you live, but where I'm at,,there are not many nursing jobs and we all start somewhere,,I started in dialysis and my head was spinning,,but worked hard and got comfortable,,always room for improvement,,,like you said, if someone doesn't like it ,,go back to school and put yourself in someone else's shoes,,

i am amazed at what goes on in the nursing homes around here,,the average is one lpn to 22 patients,,some nurses even say they took care of 40,,when i questioned them,they say thats just the way it is,,i tryed it and theres no way to be a care giver at those ratios,,they justcheat on the treatments and meds and paper work,,they want to be super nurse,,to me,,we should all stick together and demand reasoable staff to patient ratios,,were just hurting ourselves ,our profession and mostly our integrity,,and dont believe the Bull that the nursing homes cant afford it,,do the math,,more nurses would not only give better care which should be our goal but would also open up more jobs,,but these nusing homes are run like the dark ages and we just keep making excuses,,i guess us male nurses have to get more involved,,just joking,,but it is a serious issue,,,

i feel the same way,,having a hard time finding anything and the schools keep advertising the nursing shortage,i dont get it,, i think the course is just going to keep getting tougher,,i dont mind the education,in fact i embrace it but there has to be a job at the end,,why pay all this money for school,oh yeah,, i was also told that male nurses are needed,,yeah right,,,
