Aryea, LVN

RNBearColumbus, I reported it to the DON but was told to just worry about yourself and she'd take care of it. I left before I saw any action...and I'm assuming from what I've read here that I should have stuck it out with the job. It's cool though, because I found a position with another SNF making $21 an hour which is the most I've ever made.

I recently quit a job with a SNF because of the practises of the staff. For example, after an unwitnessed fall, the nurse I was shadowing documented that he had performed neuro checks but never did them on the resident. Blood pressure was also taking in the dining hall (against HIPPA), and pre-pouring meds were done to save time. Whenever a resident asked to go to the bathroom, the nurses would say "well go ahead " and refused to help them or call a CNA. I quit after two weeks because I had a strong fear of losing my license. Now I'm jobless and afraid that all nursing homes are like this. By the way, I'm an LVN and most jobs here for us are mainly in nursing homes. I am also a new graduate so all these things really shocked me. I really don't have a question, just needed to vent. Thanks for reading!

Hi LeChein. Unfortunately LTC is my only experience. I will leave it off my resume in the future. Thanks for for your reply.

I recently quit a job at an ltc due to the fact that I didn't want to lose my license because of all the bad care I witnessed. I have an interview soon with another ltc, but when I sent them my resume it had the place I quit at listed as my current job. What would be the best thing to say as to why I quit that job so soon? I really don't want to say anything bad about the company, but I really don't want to lie.
