I am an LPN who recently took a position in an ALF as the Assistant Healthcare Director (ADON). I do paperwork, answer family inquiries, do assessments, make schedules and am on several committees. Our CMA's do the hands on work. Showers, tx, meds, etc. Easiest job I've ever had!!! We have 70 residents with a nurse on evenings and 4 CMA's. Days 2 nurses (myself and the Director) with 5 CMA's. Just depends on the facility you work at I guess. After 10 years killing myself in LTC I will be here until I retire!!!

Go to your doctor and get a prescription!

I am a nurse in LTC, I am an LPN in charge of a staff of usually 7-9 CNA's and caring for usually 90 residents at night. It takes great multitasking and organization to just maintain and that is barring any emergencies. Before you consider us the "bottom of the barrel" think of the skill it takes to make this work. Definitely not for the faint of heart!
