   whatdidigetmyselfin2 replied to Subclavian Steel's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   I agree with TheCommuter 100%. Trying to do too much too soon will completely burn you out. When I first entered in SNF, I would come in to work 15 minutes early and I would write in my notebook...

    I have a family member just like this! No matter what you do, there is always something else wrong. He is so bad that even the CNAs won't even walk in his direction because he is that nitpicky and...
