This one will be long. I work in geriatrics. My med pass takes 6 hours of my 8 hour shift. I have alot of interruptions and needy people. Staff who bring in their children. I've raised this up to the DON. She was raising up to the administrator who is 26 years old. Yess. Nothing come of it. I had to call a nurse today to come back and sign the narcotics sheet. She does this all the time. T he place has more paperwork than any place I've worked in. The HIM director always writes us up for forgetting paperwork. I just came back from vacation and I just didn't want to be there. The social worker is the pitts. We get a new resident in 5 minutes with no report from the hospital. The DON won't help us. I've decided after 19 months being a nurse I'm going back to waiting tables. I don't like the system. I just don't believe in it. It's a joke.

Thanks for the encouragement. Charlita the ADON brings in her dog everyday and makes pictures on the computer. I said to one of my friends something aint right. forgive the slang. They say she hasn't been an R.N. long enough. Thats bull. I have applied and no one has really answered or its not what i'm looking for. It's also near the holidays and usually alot openings happen after the new year. Thanks again. CC

Thanks CD. I'm keeping my chin up and look. I will get my R.N. the options are endless. We just have administration that is corporate minded.
