I have been at my job for almost 3 years and I am always afraid of losing my job. Not because I don't do my best because I do..I had perfect attendece for two years even, but because Nursing staff are so disposable. We're shit and yet we do all of the work while the department heads pretend to give a fuck about the resident's well beings. Sitting behind a desk, pretending to resolve problems of any sort..Banking the money while these families are trying to get their loved ones taken care of and paying a ridiculous amount of money, only being on top of their game when it's time for our annual state survey. And this place is just begging for fines...It's dirty, they never staff enough people per residents (which is illegal), people aren't filling our their paper work correctly, nurses making med error, ect, ect. My facility is a mess but I plan on hanging in there until I can get to college and become a nurse or get a hospital job. My work is so tight on money that they will not give us paper checks or mail our pay stubs...we have to have direct deposit and we have to pick up our pay stubs within a certain time frame or they will be disposed of. We don't get paid for lunches..we used to get food but now we don't..we can't use color paper...they exchanged normal adult depends with paper thin ones.. mind you this people pee and poop all day and night long..If I were only to count how many complete bed changes I do in a days/nights work. phew.
Now we have even crappier equipment than before..It's crazy. But I'm really glad I have a job.
