The transition from nursing to care management involves a steep learning curve. Nurses must retain their empathy for patients, but within a business environment.
As a care home manager, you are no doubt very aware of the increasingly high staff turnover in the sector, with unnecessary numbers of resignations or dismissals, and the problems this creates.
I’ve just graduated as a mental health nurse. My placements through 3 years of training gave an indicator of what’s to come. It’s going to be rewarding. But the pressures are likely to increase.
Nursing has become a heavily paperwork and deadline orientated job. With a lack of contact with patients and a lack of sufficient staff numbers on wards we’re battling to care correctly.
