One of my first jobs was in LTC. An alzheimers unit with 48 residents. I worked the same unit with an LPN and the same 4-5 CNAs for about a year, and we worked very well together. For Christmas I bought everyone, including our unit secretary a hang around your neck Bic pen, no big deal, but it solidified our "team" and it was an inexpensive way to make my floor work even better as a team. Much to my suprise, about a month later, the administration, who apparently discouraged teamwork split us all up. How stupid are they??? You want teamwork? One of my first jobs was in LTC.

There is so much to do, pointing fingers at each other shouldn't make the list. That isn't to say we shouldn't look for solutions to issues, but great problem solvers waste no time on blame.

I love what you said about us all "being in this together" and that teamwork is the answer. I used to have a boss who would absolutely lose her mind whenever someone would call in sick. I mean, she would rant and rave about it so loud and long that it was distracting and created a terrible mood among the staff--which only added more negativity to the woes of being shortstaffed due to the absent nurse. I never said it out loud to her but I always wanted to ask her to just chill---because sure, there's problems that come up in this job---but we can all help each other and get the job done.
