Summary
New nurses entering long-term care facilities often receive unstructured, haphazard training with no consistent preceptor or constructive feedback, leaving them feeling lost, incompetent, and unsupported. This leads to severe burnout, emotional distress, and high turnover, which directly compromises the quality and continuity of care for elderly residents. The problem remains unsolved as facilities lack standardized onboarding programs and mentorship systems, creating a cycle that harms both caregivers and the vulnerable elderly population.
