Thanks for telling us about this. Criminal is right. I would not want to be there. I am so glad you are not there any more. The stress would have killed you.
Yes, thank you. I felt the same way. It is sad when as a RN when you can’t take the time, do to the work load, to get to know any of the residents or to share some kindness and empathy towards them in any meaningful way. The elderly in nursing homes are lonely. I worked, on an “as needed” basis for 4 hours, but rarely got out under 5 1/2-6 1/2 hours.

I am hearing about this right now with a good friend of mine. She is in a rehab facility and saying the same thing.
