  1. Nursing nightmares.

    I have been retired for about twelve years, the night mares have finally gone away. But I rememer being a young nurse and dreaming that my manager walked into my bedroom and demanded to know why I was sleeping when evey light was on down the hall. ...
  2. Front desk people giving medical advice

    I don't quite agree with part of the point you make. It might be helpful in deflecting a wrongful dismissal suit. However, in the case of a non licensed person giving harmful advice to a patient, I am wondering if you would still be resposible for...
  3. Front desk people giving medical advice

    My experience is that the licensed professionals are the ones held responsible for mistakes made by a person in this position. My feeling is someone needs to show her more than the nurse practice act, perhaps something like the door. PS This is not...
  4. You can bet you are not the only one that has made this mistake but make sure you only make it once, I know I did.
  5. Thank you so much for publishing this informative article. It really gets it's teeth into some of the problems that don't get talked about much.
  6. When a nursing home shuts down.

    Just to let you know I am not looking for legal advice. All I want to know is if other people get the same "this ain't right" gut reaction to this that I got.
  7. A ltc nursing facility gives 30 days notice that it is closing. Here are some of the demands it is making. Relocate to another facility 120 miles and take a job it is offering there or 1. lose your PTO 2. lose your severence 3. no use applying for ...

  9. "It isn't your mother; it's the disease"

    I can tell you have been through a lot. I actually admire you because I think you are a survivor. It sounds like you are doing your best. What else can you do. By the way, my mom is in a home also with dementia and the big A. She has been pleasan...
  10. North 14 - The room where the patient died.

    This sounds like a lot of ghost stories I have heard in my career. Always something special about the death.
  11. This is an excellent question, I find the responses educational and insightful. Thanks for asking. I know I could just hit the kudos button but that doesn't begin to cover how interesting I find this post.
  12. Spoke too soon...

    It was always my experience that 3-11 was the busiest shift. Remember I am not saying that because I never worked any other shift. I worked nights and days as well as evenings. All shifts are busy, all shifts work short staffed. But evening shift...
  13. Two years of med-surg are not magic.

    It just goes to show that in this economy many of the rules everyone swore by in other times just no longer apply. Please excuse this old timer for being slow to "get it". However, I must say that in your case I really respect the way you have take...
  14. TSA asks a 95 y/o women to remove brief

    Oh goodness I was just going to post in my journal about this. I just came back from traveling out of the country. I totally understand airport security and what they have to do. But I don't really have to leave the country and I doubt if I will b...
  15. An Ode To Assisted Living

    My mother's Assisted Living told me at the very beginning that they would allow her to age in place. Right now she is in hospice and they are very co-operative with that. I think if I wanted her moved to another facility because I felt she was over...
