Venting. Trying to keep my sanity

Hi for all my friends in long term care, How much charting do you have to do. Some of our patients have a total of 3 to 4 notes per shift. SBARs for basically everything. The same patient could have many SBARS in the same day like for example sbar for fall charting, abt , other post incident. It could go on and on. The person could have a hang nail and SBAR time which goes over 9 shifts. We used to do the initial SBAR and then a nurse note. Although some people got away from it, my self-included at times. I know we must document to protect ourselves. The same patient could be on SBAR charting for the shift and also have an adl note and behavior note for the same day. We can not combine them due to them having to be numbered. Its driving me crazy. We even have to lock the book that tells us how to chart up now. If I sound frustrated, I am . I don't think administration really appreciates their staff. We had a change in administration and new everything. Maintenance used to assist us with getting our oxygen tanks and now we have to. They are outside. This is a task in the winter our basically any other day that I really don't have time for. Especially with the types of patients that we have. Nursing administration just seems to not remember what it is like to be on the floor and take care of people. I know change happens. Just venting and this is why I am desperately trying to leave long term care. I have been at my place of employment to long in actuality. The emphasis seems to be on the charting and very little of the patient.
