i have just been working for 3 weeks as new grad lvn in a nursing home.
and i want to quit because...
i feel exhausted and worn out everyday.
i dont get to use the bathroom eat or drink for 8 hrs because to the workload, ill get behind if i take a break so i pretty much clock out for break but work through it, coz technically nobody is covering you during break.
i stay extra 2-4 hrs unpaid overtime just to finish my unending paperworks.
just after work 3 weeks, my bp had dropped and i lost incredible amount of weight and i think i have uti now coz my side really hurts constantly for a more than a week now.
i dont get benefits because im on call, but get called all the time.
i want to stay because...
i dont want the one who got me the job look bad.
my parents cant find work so i need a way to support them along with my sister.
the pay is great but if i compute my salary with the actually hrs i work, its minimum pay.
economy is bad, and ill look bad in my resume to quit so early

This is the life you chose. It gets better as time goes on. I was lucky In LPN school, after 4 months, we worked on the floor as nurses. The regular staff went and drank coffee, and we worked their 8 hour shift. With only an instructor that did not follow us around, We were the nurses on the floor. we took turns at the desk with the instructor and acted as charge nurses. No lunch brakes and going to the bathroom was like heaven. BUT we learned and some of our group went back to college and became head nurses and administrators. They said college was a breeze next to our LPN school. So welcome to nursing, fun seeker.
