I'm so sorry you feel this way and I'm also sorry for the crappy comments of other nurses! We are supposed to build each other up, not cut each other down! I've been an LPN for 7 years and although most days are harder than I expect and I feel like the system on a whole is flawed, there have been so many moments that make it all worth while! I, like you, don't see myself ever doing anything but nursing. I did not care for home health & id prefer to not work in long term care but the facility I work at now has a skilled unit & ive been the happiest with that. What about working for a doctor? I worked for a doc part time going around to the nursing homes & preparing things for him b4 he got there. I liked that too! Hoping your heart finds some peace! 😕❤️

The corporation that I work for requires an SBAR to be completed EVERY time someone is sent out. I understand why they are useful when you need to call a doctor for orders to have someone sent out, but I don't understand why they need completed in other situations. Here is an example: A physician going over labs from home calls into the facility and says "I've just come across mr. Browns KUB and it appears he has a colonic ileus. He will need sent to the ER immediately for further evaluation..." Why at this point would an SBAR be required?
