Yesterday was actually my 1st time working on the floor as a nurse in an Assisted Living Facility. I was in charged of 2 floors which consists of approximately 80+ residents. I was seriously about to loose my mind. I didn't take a break because my me...

take it!!! I feel the same way about my current job! i hate coming to work each day. Do what makes you happy :)

i've been with my employer for over a month now. I want to quit soo bad but i need the money. I got 3 days of training. Honestly, i didn't learn much. I have about 60 residents. I can't handle the stress and physical effects of this job. I am curren...

The thought of becoming of "Camp Nurse" interests' me. Any thoughts, opinions, information will be great. Thanks!

@litlgrn it is tough. I'm trying to hang on to gain experience but it's a challenge. Thank you.

I'm on call too and i HATE IT!!! Hope things get better for the both of us.

I am a new grad and currently working at an ALF. I've been working for over a month now and i have about 60+ residents to pass meds to. I do the same work as the previous posts have said. However, with the amount of residents i have, i don't like my ...

I am wondering if nursing is like this or does it depend on the work setting? What type of work do u think is appropriate for a new grad? Ltc has too much work and stress too soon. I want to quit sobad!!!

I'm tired of LTC too and i've only been working for over a month. I am a new grad and i didn't expect nursing to be like this. Now i'm questioning if nursing is the right field for me

Hey Prado so how do you like your job? I am a new lvn grad and currently working at an assisted living facility and i hate it. Does the facility in San Jose hire new grads with no experience? Any info or tips you can give me would be greatly apprecia...

I do agree with neatnurse30. nursing school is just the beginning, but once you're on the floor as one of the official nurse it is hell. I am a recent LVN grad and i recently got hired at ALF i have about 60 residents to give meds too. Being exposed ...

I think as a nursing student, you can't dedicate all of your time to school. It is important to put away some time for yourself. Do things you enjoy. For me, to relieve some stress i would hangout with friends and family. I try to surround myself wit...

@conscientiousnurse I do feel that my license is at risk. So, there are other places that have less work load? I am hoping to find a nice place with like what you said a reasonable load. I just want to have a smooth transition from being a nursing st...

@BriRN i agree with you about how the "older" nurses eat their young. Since i'm one of the new hires I am forced to worked at the dementia unit because the other nurses have "seniority" and since working there my experiences have been really TERRIBLE...

@neatnurse30 i know it is sad. If nursing is like this, that way i'm experiencing it i want to change my career too I understand now when people say do what you love. Having a stressful job will seriously affect you both physically and mentally. Lif...

@racs09_RN yup 2 days of orientation. I had my orientation with a computer and 3 days worth of training with a nurse. I agree with you. I want to work at a place that will provide weeks worth of training. At least 5-6wks or until they feel that you a...

@vivalasviejas omg your 1st paragraph sums it all up!!! seriously i do all those things!!! honestly i don't know what the don does in our facility. the facility i work at is an assisted living but they have a locked dementia unit in which, if you are...

@racs09_RN I got 2 days worth of orientation. The orientation consists of reading protocols and other materials on a computer for 2 days. After that, I've received 3 days worth of training with a nurse. The 3 days of training i pretty much just shado...

@conscientiousnurse 6 out of the 7 days i've been working nights 2:30pm-11pm. I don't finish my med pass until 10:30. Plus i have to do paperwork. So i end up going home around 12ish or 1ish. The facility only allows 1hrs worth of overtime. *sigh* i'...

I am a recent lvn grad and i am currently working at an assisted living facility for a month now. Out of the 1 month, i've only worked for 7 days because i am only on call. Out of the 7 days, meds have been thrown to my face, verbally abuse, and been...

So I finally counted my residents and i have about 60. I've been with the company for a month now and I've only worked for 7 days. Every time I'm about to go to work I feel like having a panic attack. I've been hit twice by a resident and now I am ve...

@Aem1215 I wish i can hang on, but i just hate this feeling. This job is affecting me physically and mentally.

I totally agree with you @neatnurse30 I am a new lvn grad and just got hired at an assisted living. I thought school was hard but man, once you're on your own as a nurse it is like HELL!!! I am very shocked that this is how nursing is. It is brutal! ...

OMG every time i'm about to go to work i feel like having a panic attack. I am a new grad and I recently got hired at an assisted living facility. I've been with the company for a month now. I am a part time/on call so overall i've only worked for 7 ...

I feel the same way!!! I also graduated this pass may with a LVN degree and just got hired at an assisted living facility. I have 60 residents to care for. I've only received 2 days worth of orientation and 3 days worth of training with a nurse. So w...
