  1. so ready to quit

    Let it out sister I know just how you feel. Just remember you got to take care of yourself and your Kids!
  2. Problems at the SNF

    Agree with above. Plus always give your meds out on time or not.
  3. Advice please!

    Yep, understand perfectly what you said. If I were you I wouldn't go into any new job with that mind set. You will get chewed up and spit out, maybe by an LPN just like me.
  4. Question on Washcloth and bathing

    Nothing wrong with using a soapy washcloth. It is more comfortable for the person being cleansed, and normal washing and drying takes care of your concerns about it being gross.
  5. LTC nurses-Are you worried about being fired?

    No way! But where I work is really awesome so....
  6. How long was you orientation traing when you started in LTC?

    4 12 hour shifts. That is one on each hall then on my own.
  7. Is this Safe? Census: 45 / ID Bands: 0 / # of Nurses: 1

  11. what do you want to hear during report??

    Maybe you would like to know if the residents are crushed meds or thick liquids. I like to know if anything acute going on so I can check it out while I'm down the halls. If they fell or have a new skin problem, just like already said anything differ...
  12. No call no show?

    I have made the director aware of all of this (as she should already know). And I will leave it at that for now. I don't want to be b**** that tries to get people fired, but I will if I have to. Also funny because the have scheduled us not working t...
  13. New nurse here. How do I overcome a suspension from work?

    Supervisor in a LTC will mean being responsible for everyone on your unit ( or most likely the entire home). You will have to call the MD, take off orders, deal with family, treatments, help with admissions, replace call outs, and more than likely ho...
  14. New nurse here. How do I overcome a suspension from work?

    Sorry, but I am curious about why you were suspended for 3days? Sorry, you do not have to share but just wondering.
  15. New nurse here. How do I overcome a suspension from work?

    Nursing homes are super busy. Like any where from 20 to 40 patients (depending on your shift) busy. A lot of what is done is medpass and charting. Also you need eyes in the back of your head to watch out for the sneaky ones.Why not Stay where you are...
