NurseCalii

OK so I have been working in a Long Term Care Facility for almost a year and I really don't like it. The patients are very rude, and disrespectful and some family memebers .some of the staff is the same way, from the RN to other LVN's, admin.. being a nurse was always my dream. I always wanted to help people and I wanted to continue to climb and go on the be a RN. But being a LVN is nothing like what I thought it would be.. it's to the point to where I wake up every day dreading going to work, I work long hours, double shifts, sometimes I do an 11-7 and come right back for a 3-11 shift. The work load is very overwhelming and stressful... sad but I feel like a made a bad career choice.
