Thank you for a lot of helpful advice!!!! I had one day alone and I'm still not quite in a routine- my bed time med pass took FOREVER but I am so happy nothing crazy happened. Just have to hope I can learn to better prioritize. So much for one nurse to do it's a little much to handle

I posted in an earlier thread, but I'm thinking I'll get more comments in this topic section. I am a new graduate nurse and I got a job at a LTC facility. It was very hard to get a nursing job without the "1 year experience" and what not so I am happy to have finally landed a job! I am seeking advice of how to manage so many patients at once with all their medications, treatments and charting- yikes!! I can't even imagine if one thing were to go wrong how I would stay on track. I am also nervous since I am such a new nurse about when emergency things come up or when a patient's status declines. Any experienced nurses in LTC- what types of situations have happened for you in this setting?! I feel like I need way more orientation before I am on my own but I will already be off orientation tomorrow. Any help and advice would be appreciated, thank you so much!!!! :)
