  1. Ok, I concede! I am wrong and have proof! http://www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol40/40-18/773.html Looks like this was a "suggestion" of proposed guidelines to set forth but have not yet been voted on. In my defense I said I remember seeing this. T...
  2. The answer is a def no. It is on the State Board website I remember reading it when I worked in a Hem/Onc office. As a medical assistant I was able to because I worked under the physicians license. When I became an LPN I no longer could perform th...
  3. No problem! Ty too :)
  4. And congrats on the job!
  5. You could ask a professional tax preparer for advice if you don't want to pay all of the fees. Maybe they would do a free consultation?
  6. Another low staffing - am i being a baby- new nurse post!

    Oh, and don't get me wrong, I don't mind busting my hump every day, work does not scare me. What I dont like is feeling used like a door mat and being made to feel ungrateful or or unappreciative because they were so "kind enough" to give me a job. ...
  7. Another low staffing - am i being a baby- new nurse post!

    Honestly, I'm sad. I hate leaving at the end of my shift knowing that all I am is a pill pusher and not feeling like I did any nursing for the residents. I dont know what the residents I have are in for because I don't have time to pull all 31 char...
  8. Ok people, face facts: Staffing in LTC is always going to be outrageous!

    I could not agree more. I work on a behavior floor- psych meets dementia and so on. Two nurses 3O pts. There is screaming, Residents trying to climb out bed, elevator alarms going off. It's absolutely crazy. I feel lucky that I got 7 days on the floo...
  9. The weekly addition to the workload...

    Very sad, very sad indeed.
  10. Number of patients you care for?

    I could not agree more
  11. Number of patients you care for?

    I work LTC 3-11 LPN, 1:30
  12. improving staff responsiveness

    IMHO, some of us will give all we have and it will never be enough. You can't squeeze any more juice from an orange that has nothing left to give, in other words you are damned if you do and damned if you dont. Laymens terms- I am a new nurse, my ...
  13. New Nurse 4 Med errors in 6 months

    I def have to agree w/ OP, it's hard being a new nurse floating from floor to floor. I don't float (yet) but day 4 of orientation, I did better w/ my med pass. By better I mean instead of it taking me 3.5hrs to pass meds to 12 pts, I was able to up...
  14. First LPN Job, 5 day orientation, 1:40+ patients...advice?

    I am having the same problem. I have about 5 days left on my 8 day orientation and I feel overwhelmed and VERY stressed. It took me about 3.5 hrs to pass meds to 12 patients out of 30. The nurse training me basically just left me to do the meds cart ...
  15. And the survey says......

    Uggh, I know....I just can't wait until that happens, NOT!
