I am blessed in that I have not had any real bad experiences, but I've heard some HORROR stories out there!

Anyone have any nightmares to share?

Worst place I ever worked was a nursing home in south Florida. I won't mention the name but they had 56 beds, staffed with only two LPNs and CNAs on most evening and night shifts. Of course, they were supposed to have an RN in house at all times but didn't and the place was a dump and many residents had advanced stage bed sores and tissue break down- just could not provide care under those conditions... I couldn't take it and I think they have since been closed down.

At one hospital I worked the DON was arrested in the middle of the shift. Appears he'd been selling drugs from the hospital.
