   momandstudent replied to momandstudent's topic in Geriatric

   Yes, thank you for the links. I have taken binders for each wing and given a section to each resident. In each section will be their therapy communication sheet which states the exercise/ambulation program. We have POC and the aides will be documenti...

3. Hydration pass

   momandstudent posted a topic in Geriatric

   We have an issue going on with our hydration pass at our LTC facility. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out but to get the nursing department and dietary department to work together is more like trying to give a cat a bath. Anyways, th...

   My facility is starting a restorative nursing program and I will be the supervising RN. I am curious if anyone has any good information that they would be willing to share with me, such as: care plan ideas, templates to use, ideas to incorporate to e...

5. C-Diff and commode disinfection

   momandstudent replied to momandstudent's topic in Safety

   Thank you for all the input. This pt. was moved to a private setting as soon as we "thought" it may be C-Diff. In our facility, we do not have the availability of moving pts. around easily. So far, while I have been in this position, we have at least...

   My favorite: "Where's my call-light?" as she has it clenched in her hands.

10. RN--TO LPN

    momandstudent replied to shynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have thought about the same thing but what the previous poster said is true. They see the RN and know that once you find that job, you will take it. Also, does your state allow you to practice under your license class? Another thing to consider. Bu...

11. Virtual ATI Online Studying Class/Coach?

    momandstudent replied to iHealth's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot give you good information on what to study because I didn't study before I took boards. I did the ATI and that was pretty much it. I did do about 15 questions the day before but that was all. I was so burnt out and really just had the though...

    momandstudent replied to sedietsch's topic in General Students

    So, can any of you tell me what your credit scores have to be like for them to even think about accepting you for the process? We (husband and I) have had some "not-so-perfect-times" with our credit because of his line of work and getting laid off. A...
