When is enough enough?

Do any of you Directors of Nursing just feel like throwing in the towel? I go home every day exhausted from trying to make sure the staff is doing the right thing, the admissions people aren't admitting people we can't take of, the families are happy, and the residents aren't plotting to overthrow the administration.

I've been in long term care for more than 20 years and a DNS for about 6. I'm thinking it's not worth the stress.

Just spouting off. I don't expect anyone to have an answer for my angst.

    I'm new to being a DON and definitely find it challenging. I love the challenge and the learning that goes along with it, but it is very frustrating at times. I have an excellent mentor, who tells me there is a 2 year learning curve. So I am trying to stick it out to see if things get better.
