An ICU nurse transitioning to a long-term care facility struggles to complete medication passes for 28 residents within an 8-hour shift, causing her to skip breaks and charting time.

Existing medication administration workflows and training materials assume either acute care (few patients, complex meds) or experienced LTC nurses, leaving transitioning nurses without efficient, facility-specific strategies to handle high patient volumes.
