I quit my LTC job, I am 68, started there 3 weeks ago, the classroom orientation was good but once I got on the floor I was pretty much on my own with occasional supervision, 33 patients, one with a trach with frequent suctioning and ngt feedings she was down at the end of the hall. the rest of the patients on the hall all had to have their meds crushed, passing meds all shift, admissions on paper no computer, hundreds of paper used for 1 admission. Meanwhile I have a brittle diabetic with a blood sugar of 25, trying to us the universal tx of orange juice milk, calling the Dr. for orders, then I received a new admission from Saginaw. just to stressful I couldn't compromise my standards of nursing care
