Believe me, this Anxiety attck I had left me scared, and still scared. and home resting.
It very much feels like a Heart attack. and or a stroke.
I'm home now per doctors orders to take Adavan, and not go back to work till the 15th.
I worked halls by myself, with Little or no help at all.
I would TAKE Agency over a Shadow Trainee any day o the week.
At least Agency can and will help lift, feed and make beds.
But the Nursing home I work at, they can't afford
agency.
So they hire JUNK (UNCERTIFIED) teenagers. off the streets who come in for 3 days and quit.
Leaving our schedule showing them to be WORKING
when they've already left, : or worked a double, and not coming on the designated shift to be worked.
Leaving me, THE PRN
to work it alone, After weeks of doing this, I ended up in the hospital.
LOTS OF GOOD this did me, and now the Nursing home.
: How do you feel about agency covering staff shortages?
