You come to work in the unit, do your routinely rounds, checking all equipment if they are complete and functional especially the aed and oxygen because the unit is sub-acute, expect that there will be emergency at any time.. Then received reports from previous shift. Check your staff for the tour and assign them their designated areas to work on the unit. Check new md orders and carry out that should be done first. Start giving medications and necessary treatments to the patients. The hardest part of the job is when patients is troublesome and hard to deal with, in this case you have to be patient. The good part of being part of the job was that everyone is like one big family, sharing and supporting each other although in some cases their are mis-understanding but I made sure that I fix the situation immediately because I don't like any tension on my team. Over all, the unit is somewhat busy most of the time because its a sub-acute area, but honestly I learned and enjoyed my worked there as I learned a lot and also imparts/taught a lot to new nurses who came and work in our unit.

It was my first job as a new graduate LPN. As an agency nurse, I received only three days of training before being assigned to work independently. During training, my colleagues and CNAs were supportive and worked well as a team. However, once I started working on my own, I was assigned to a floor with patients who required extensive care, and unfortunately, the RN and another LPN on that floor were not supportive.

As a new nurse, I made every effort to perform safely and efficiently—I arrived early to review patients’ needs, checked blood sugars, prepared medications, and organized my tasks to stay on schedule. Despite this, I was often reassigned to different floors after the shift had already started, which made it extremely difficult to provide adequate care. There were days I couldn’t take a lunch break or even use the restroom. 
If you are already an experienced LPN, this facility may feel similar to other nursing homes in terms of workload and environment. However, as others have mentioned, there is very little diversity among the staff, which can make it less inclusive for some.

i start my rounds by doing rounds on my unit, and making sure they are breathing. I get the residents up for breakfast, set up their tray, and helps those that requires assistance to eat. After breakfast, I take the rest of them out for lunch, and toilet those that wants to use the bathroom. I learned to work as a team because some of the residents are heavy and requires more than one assist to be transferred from the bed to chair;thus, without team work, the residents are more at risk for falls and staff are putting themselves more at risk for injury. The management is great with organized schedules for the staff. My coworkers are team players and worked very well with me and we helped each other out a lot in completing our assignment on time and more safely without harm to patient/ staff. The hardest part about the job was turning the patients in bed and they are not helping. The most enjoyable part of the job was playing and dancing with the residents while they were in the dinning room bored.

My typical work day is that I was able to greet the elderly and was able to share with them about their weekend. I feel like it's a space where we get to know one another. I was to make sure that their three course of meals are given. I've learned that great communication skills is a great way to get to know more about their lives as when they are younger until now. And that most of them have  a different personality once you get to know them. The hardest part of the job is delivering meals to each person. Because since it's a big facility and their are a lot of them. But the most enjoyable part is participating activities with the elderly. I would do arts and crafts with them and a lot are very creative with their art skills. I would see sketches and water painting artwork. It amazed me so much on how talented they are. The Co-workers were willing to help me out from time to time because I was new to this and I was able to learn a lot quickly.

My typical day at work starts by checking all equipment and testing them to ensure that they are properly working. Doing environmental rounds to see if there is anything that needed attention, nacortic counts, and re-order of medications.  I then proceeded to log into the EPICs and check the daily activity report and review the charts of the scheduled patients, check the organizational email, and at 8.50am daily meet with all unit staffs for briefing till 9.10am. The most challenging part of my job is job flow. I have some nurses that are very slow and hence allow backups of discharges. In such cases, I have to go back and forth to ensure that other nurses take up the responsibilities of ensuring quick and effective discharge. The most enjoyable part of my job is my use of senses of humor to relate with the patients and staffs, yet maintaining professional ethics.

Once you are hooked in, no orientation, no structure with how dept was left as in no discussion with you about weekly expectations, made aware half your staff is leaving, poor infrastructure (computer and printer not working for nearly a week), office on highest floor with only one working elevator, corporate Dir. says role of department is clerical (residents and contacts don't exist apparently), meetings galore, same discussions from one meeting to another, psych residents left to roam around the building with repetitive issues with no attempt at activities, clean up other department errors, see other departments having a much free time, while expectations are for you to finish all work, micromanaged and best part of it all no accountability for past or current errors by upper management.

This facility consistently has inadequate staffing. Management is poor, disruptive, and mentally abusive. Coworkers try their best but are regularly insubordinate, and noncompliant. The hardest part of the job is one individual constantly being expected to perform the work of 3 while being disrupted inappropriately and insulted based on physical appearance, cultural difference, gender, title, and personality. A typical day at work includes doing the work of 3 individuals, distractions, little to no aid, and coping with a complete lack of professionalism. The most enjoyable part of the job was building a positive quality rapport with the residents and watching their physical, and mental state improve through my efforts.

I had mostly good experience working here. Staffer are positive, friendly and encourage you to aspire for more. Coworkers are often willing to lend a helping hand, with the exception of a handful of bullies, concentrated on the 3rd floor at Bedford Centre. There is at least a bully per shift who are long term employees and see that as licence to micromanage coworkers. There is a lot of micromanagement and microaggressions from staff CNAs that go unreported, leaving many perdiem CNAs frustrated with their overworked and underpaid jobs.

My compensations here were intangible and they came from residents I worked with. The joy, prayers and appreciation they express after assisting them motivates me to do my best and not expect much in return.

my role was to over see day to day functions and make sure that everything went up on time for the residents. to make sure that the kitchens were cleand and ready for the next day, this task becomes harder everyday because my manager did not provide the support i needed to make sure that these timley duties were met. and the unions made it difficult to have one person lend a hand to help other workers meet thier goal.  the hardest part of the job was getting everyone thier desired schedule. although it was a lot easier to for employees to call out sick and take vacation days than it was for use as the managment team to have the amount of workers we needed for the day to  run smoother.

As in, staff sits around in the PM. Not enough laptops and when you approach therapists who are clearly texting/sleeping/bored- "I'm using it." Internet problems. PEOPLE problems- the "lead" OT saw it fit to prescribe diathermy to everyone. Even cancer pts. So clearly, no actual mentorship. Anytime I tried to get guidance, I had things- progress reports, recerts, insurance updates- delegated to me.

This is supposed to be WHY the lead OT has less productivity. COTAs are higher % so OTs don't have to be. I watched a lot of new grads struggle and then pretend everything was fine so as to "fit in". I have 10+ years experience
