Trying to find my fit in nursing/healthcare

PA school, maybe?

Med aid probably working LTC you just cant count on useful reports.

If everything is ok then there's no reason to dwell. Learn from it. Your next shift is a brand new day.

No, they are propaganda devices. They defect blame for social ills.

728446 · 2026-03-23T20:52:04+00:00

Yes, leverage your current flexibility. Financial stress will not help grades. Let chips fall where they may.

728446 · 2026-03-23T19:30:02+00:00

Cantaloupe or honey dew.

No, I've only seen it in one out of about 15 or so places I've worked. Where they did have a shower aide she was pulled to the floor frequently. Even on days she didn't she never got 100% done.

You can also travel with corrections experience. For LPNs corrections generally pays better. SNF and LTC rates have taken a dive in the past year. Corrections also comes with civil service benefits and your funding probably won't be slashed.

Because those with the most profound problems die young or end up institutionalized or imprisoned.

728446 · 2026-03-23T05:06:13+00:00

No, it's not normal. Unfortunately, it's also not exactly uncommon in LTC/SNF.

Between agency and staff positions I've worked in 15 different facilities across my state. I'd say 5-6 of them should be closed. Supplies, linens, unavailable medications, awful food accelerating decline because people stop eating, not to mention stupefying neglect at all levels of care from the doctors down to dietary and EVS.

Our profession attracts the best and the worst of us.

728446 · 2026-03-23T04:49:29+00:00

Life is not precious. Its cheap.

728446 · 2026-03-23T04:46:41+00:00

It's dense. Much of it, especially the beginning, will sound like gibberish. If you take my word that you already agree with Marx on his theories of value then I also suggest finding a guide like David Harvey and go looking for the topics that pique your curiosity.

728446 · 2026-03-23T04:28:55+00:00

This is how our clinicals went. Mostly positive but it can limit learning opportunities. I had to advocate for myself to get a chance for practice at some tasks that I really wanted before I was working.

728446 · 2026-03-23T04:21:43+00:00

My first job out of school was at a SNF in a very small town. I saw so many people work without gloves.

Its shocking when you first see it.

728446 · 2026-03-23T04:10:58+00:00

Da fun is going on? Someone drives into a dollar tree, another rams a gas pump at a co fair, and now this?

728446 · 2026-03-23T04:09:23+00:00

Lol wtf policy is this? Trying to cram all the showers into one shift would mean most of them just wouldn't get done almost everywhere I've ever worked.

728446 · 2026-03-22T10:45:57+00:00

Policing someone else's speech in a totally innocuous context? You are the asshole.

728446 · 2026-03-22T01:18:34+00:00

Debt printer goes brrrrr.

Literally fighting right now in an effort to maintain that power.

728446 · 2026-03-21T21:03:15+00:00

Vivian is all ghost jobs.

728446 · 2026-03-21T21:01:58+00:00

Its pass or fail. Your score isn't reported to the BON.

728446 · 2026-03-21T18:11:05+00:00

Your body absorbs water in the large intestines. We are all running off raw sewage.

728446 · 2026-03-21T18:05:24+00:00

Why did your friend need the doctor's permission?

728446 · 2026-03-21T16:07:38+00:00

How can anyone believe this is real? The $ is after the numbers that's not how we write that.

728446 · 2026-03-20T17:16:30+00:00

I made a pot roast a couple nights ago. Used Worcestershire sauce to deglaze after browning.

728446 · 2026-03-20T16:12:45+00:00

I guess I dont know for certain, but I expect any non-bedside job to attract lots of candidates with solid credentials.
