    Thank you TricaJ I completely agree with you. I like how you describe it as a soul sucking situation, because that is exactly what is was, and am sure, still is. Living in fear, of going to work, as...

  9. Do you have both nursing home and home health experience?

    Janis Joplin posted a topic in Home Health

  10. Do you have both nursing home and home health experience?

    Janis Joplin replied to Janis Joplin's topic in Home Health

    Janis Joplin replied to Janis Joplin's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hello.. Back in Dec I quit my psw/cna position that I had at the same nursing home of eight years. The level of resident on resident, resident on staff, was not being corrected and I could no longer...

    Janis Joplin replied to Angeljho's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Now as far as the ones that say it'll get better once you get a routine, no it won't. The minute the powers that be see you can get it done they will only pile more on. That is how it has been going...
