what is a typical patient load like

so this is in nevada, its a snf, i would be doing the short term rehab side. the load is 20-25 patients. Im a new grad. Cant find a job in the hospital other option is home health but I don't want to drive my car around. I have students loans to pay ...

I am there late everyday because I am charting, still finishing up treatments on my patients. I get ridiculed for being there later like why are you catching on? Umm because I don't half ass doing my job. My patients mean a lot to me. Im going to fol...

it hasn't gotten better for me. I have had 27 patients on some days. I am looking for another job as we speak. I am a new grad so I am not as fast as the other nurses but I feel like my license is on the line here. I am putting in my two weeks notice...

Does Piedmont strongly consider you if you are out of state?

new grad. I accepted a position at a snf/ltc I start on monday. although I will be on the rehab side completely pt load is 20-25. I will be on the 3-11 shift. I wanted to get insight on what a typical day looks like and what your patient load is....

any other insight you can give on how to organize and time management? I have started. I have 16 patients. They use a computer system, I pretty much push a med cart around to each patient room. I do love the patients though. They are so sweet. But my...

My fifth day of training is today. Tommorrow I start on my own. I get the system. It's a lot of work I have like 16 patients. I also input the orders, the docs rarely do it. I know its going to be a huge transition but the patients are so grateful, n...

I agree it sucks Im a new grad too but Im going to stick it out. The patients are wonderful. I just hate the patient load. I figure in a month or so I'll have a nice groove down. Im going to own my floor:0)

i have started work. I have my last day of training today. I have 16 patients its pretty brutal. but you do what you have to do. I don't plan on staying here past a year this is just to get nursing experience.

I am in this same position i haven't' started yet. But I hear the patient ratio can be pretty high. How high is your patient ratio? mine could be up to 20. i wish you all the best and hang in there. From what Ive heard once you get the groove and tim...

This is night shift like the 3-11 shift right? not 11pm to 7am. I am working this shift as a new grad starting monday.

thanks for responding. Did you do your assessments as you go. Im so used to doing my assessment on every patient then going to pass meds. What was your patient load?

I took my exam at today. I know about the good "pop up" our records show that you have already scheduled this exam. please contact BON. My pop up says. "this candidate currently has test results that are on hold you are unable to schedule an exam at ...

Took exam on friday. results on hold because my picture didn't take well. I finally got the good pop up this morning. I passed. I paid for the quick results for peace of mine best $8 bucks spent. I had 75 questions. I used Kaplan and Saunders book....

thanks for your advice. I will call the floor to find out who the hiring manager is or nursing supervisor.

I need help with my cover letter. When I am applying for jobs I am suppose to address the human resources manager? or the director of nursing? I can't seem to find any names for who do I specifically address my cover letter to.... any pointers? than...

I used Kaplan and Saunders book. Both were really great I loved the rationales and test taking strategies for saunders. But I love the on the go access of kaplan. I did over 2500 questions to prepare. I watched about 20 hours of the lectures from kap...

i caved and paid for the quick results I passed! best $8 ever spent. you can't even buy gas with that so might as well have peace of mind.

i bought it and I just didn't like it. I didn't think the rationales were very thorough. I end up paying for Kaplan and I used the saunders book which is the best.

this morning I was finally able to get the good pop up. Im going to wait and see if my license posts in the next two days. If the good pop up is like everyone says it is I passed!

I am not sure if you found out yet about your results I wanted to follow up with mine. this morning I was finally able to get the good pop up. Im going to take it on good faith and wait for it to post with the BON. Good luck to you
