1. Most dreaded Dr.'s orders

   rn 2b lnc replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

   LOL Yes, I've been on admissions review for a nursing home, and nothing flags brighter red than "sitter" in the hospital nursing notes! My favorite orders come from doctors "on-call" who are not familiar with the restrictions nursing homes labor unde...

   I don't think the hairdresser was the offending party... wasn't it another customer?

3. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

   rn 2b lnc replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

   Meanwhile, as the hospital and stressed-out staff are skewered in the press and community, the jerk who started it all is home, safe in HIPAA anonymity, probably laughing himself into a hernia... We can hope. No, scratch that, who'd want to deal wit...

   Thank you for the rapid response! The positions I'm looking at are in Long term care. They answer to "many bosses," such as the administrator, regional nurse consultant, and regional director. Sometimes those people are at odds . Thanks for the a...

   I'm considering "moving up" to DON; I've been ADON quite a while in different facilities. In searching for a new job, I was just looking at MDS Coordinator, but a recruiter has connected me to several possibilities for which I am qualified. I've hir...

   rn 2b lnc replied to Reno1's topic in Oregon

   Hi! Small world... I'm also mulling over a move, to be DON in LTC. I have a friend who lives in Portland. Basically, I think I just want out of MI winters, and the recruiter has almost promised me that snow is rare and short-lived! Is this true? ...

8. New ombudsman

   rn 2b lnc replied to maxtardiveau's topic in Geriatric

   All I can suggest is to keep in mind what you've seen up to now... and please smile! Over the years, the announcement that "the ombudsman is here" struck the same terror in the hearts of the staff as the state, or corporate. I've had quite a few neg...

9. Just walked out

   rn 2b lnc replied to Nursie30's topic in Geriatric

   I know; even though right now I'm agency, I get basically the same unit at another facility, and getting to know the residents and their families. It's an occupational hazard. The people matter to us... we can't "walk away" even when we literally d...

10. Just walked out

    rn 2b lnc replied to Nursie30's topic in Geriatric

    I've been MDS most of my nursing career, and always been that same "go-to" person. Whenever I left a facility or that position in a facility, I was always amazed by how much less my replacement was expected to do. I've been up and down the ladder s...

    I don't know, I think that if/when he is a patient, or has someone in a health care setting, he would likely be one of those patients/family members from . Nothing would ever be good enough. IMO

14. Cancelled

    rn 2b lnc replied to PhePhe's topic in Agency

    Yeah, I've been cancelled 4 times in the last week. I'm just starting out in agency nursing, and I don't really want to go work for a specific facility again, where you can't avoid being involved in the internal conflicts. Think I'll start playing ...

15. Am I fighting a losing battle? Should I quit?

    rn 2b lnc replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    I've been working through the same dilemma, Cheerfuldoer. I've been a nurse for 10 years, a nurse aide for 10 years before that. 2 positions ago, I had been wooed back to a facility by a wonderful DON and administrator, who were open and honest and...
