  1. Mechanical Lift Competency/Training.

    I couldn't imagine one, that's why I asked. :) I would really like to offer a fun, more imaginative suggestion to work through this required competency this year. I thought asking 969,000 nursing professionals might lead to something.
  2. Do you think I did something wrong here? Advice?

    Well done! You have the makings of an excellent nurse, keep it up! You are in NO danger of losing a license you have not obtained yet. NO CHANCE! Don't you sweat that. This situation was a mess and you did the right thing. I would have liked the doc ...
  3. Have you ever had training/competency on a Mechanical lift that was fun? Every year, its the same old thing. Lie down, roll over and up you go! **I'd like to offer management a fun alternative to this yearly required competency. Have you ever partici...
  4. Gift for a nurse.

    My mother recently had an ablation and wants to send her nurses a gift. What did you enjoy receiving the most? What limitations are there? I think it cannot be expensive and no fresh flowers...am I right? Thanks for your help.
  5. CLEAR!!-ly, This guy has got to go.
  6. Caring for a dear friend at home....

    I have a friend in her 80's that I have known since I was an infant. I am sure at one point she changed my diapers and now it is my turn to return the favor. She is in renal failure and liver failure. She has been given an expiration of 2 weeks about...
  7. 3-11

    I'm a per diem employee, a nurse for 6 years. I pick up 11-7 and 3-11 in LTC. I find that I just cannot get done with all my duties on the 3-11 shift within those hours. How do you get it all done? I had a resident with a skin tear on his shin, that ...
  8. Miserable at work

    Nursing home 11-7 was my first job too. I have worked at several now and they are all different. Lately I have been working 3-11.....i take back anything bad I ever said about 11-7.
  9. Dr office vs er

    The hospital will give you more experience and more money than a doctors office. Don't overlook the nursing home!
  10. LTC incident, what are your thoughts.

    Thanks everyone for the comments. I was asked to write a response to the issue, which I did. I can appreciate the administering the PRN one at a time to figure out which worked, I guess I was coming from the standpoint (in the moment) that sometimes...
  11. Baylor Plan

    If you look on Monster or any Job search website you can search 'Baylor'. They are few and far between but the pay is FANTASTIC! You do work three 12 hour shifts, every weekend, you LIFE may not be fantastic but your check will be.
  12. Who floats first?

    As we have no travelers, 1.) Per Diem 2.) Scheduled Full-time rotation If there is a per diem nurse available there should not be a need for you to float. I'm per diem, thats why, gimme something different!
  13. I feel so embarrased and feel like harrased...

    He was probably mortified. I do not see you as being harassed in this situation.
  14. Reporting Abuse

    You did the right thing. Your supervisor handled that most unprofessionally. There is no yelling required. She should have KNOWN about the incident and calmly told you on the phone that it had been handled. You could then have let your staff know an...
  15. Are nurses nice to each other?

    No one likes to hear they did something wrong, but in nursing since doing something wrong can lead to death, sometimes you have to speak up. The response you get depends on how you approach the issue. Tact, its important. I let everyone know when the...
