Its been about 5 years since I worked as a LPN in a long term care setting taking care of patients and was recently offered a position in a AL memory care but I have some reservations about the position. I'll be the only nurse in the building with 60 residents and should have 3-4 CNAs but all the residents are supposed to be pretty minimal and are all 1 assist or less on ADLS. however I'm expected to complete a full morning medication pass on 25 of the residents from 5 am to 8am, So I'll be waking up residents and i'm worried about them not going back to sleep and then having to watch them while trying to pass meds. Does this seem feasiable? when I worked nights before in a nursing home I think only capped out around 40 resident's on one the worse wing and I remember just passing like synthroids, omeprazole and like eye drops/inhalers... I never had a full blown med pass but again I haven't done this type of work in 5 years, Also all the medications are in medication cards/bingo cards and bottles and only a few residents that require insulin/glucose monitoring.   submitted by   /u/tyhunter4123 [link]   [comments]
