  1. Long term care medical director is a jerk!

    Thank you for your response and advice. The medical director has been a little more professional lately since we have a new administrator that will not tolerate his behavior or disrespect to nurses. He still isn't particularly cordial but I can deal ...

  3. Long term care medical director is a jerk!

    I am the DON of a small rural facility and the medical director has been there for several years. As a result, he literally does whatever he wants and is very rude and downright disrespectful at times. The biggest problem is that does not like to b...
  4. Difficult doc

    I actually took this advice and confronted him about his behavior and also talked to my manager....so far he has simmered down. For now at least. I have a feeling he won't play nice too long though.
  5. Difficult doc

    I have been a RN, BSN for 11 years and worked LTC, management, staff development, nursing instructor, Med Surg, and ICU. I have always had a decent working relationship with doctors, never any real issues...until now. I recently accepted a position i...
  6. telephone orders for re admits

    When a resident has been at the hospital and is returning on Med A or hospice that is a status change correct? Some nurses put a telephone order to " Re-admit to SNF with Med A, PT/OT/ST to eval, continue all previous orders" and add or discontinue a...
  7. IM and PO Lasix together?

    I have experience in both acute and LTC but admittedly, I have been out of long term care for some time and just now started a job at a SNF. I questioned an order that the doc wrote...resident receives PO lasix 40 mg daily but doc wrote for IM lasix ...
  8. Back to nights

    Hello everyone! Hoping to get a bit of advice. I have not worked nights in 5 years, been working ICU for 3 years on days and until the past year, I have been able to handle the stress of the job because I could come home and unwind. Long story I won'...
  9. CNA first than RN program?

    I did work as a CNA many years ago and as a CMT as well prior to RN school. I was never a LPN, went straight to RN school and got my BSN. Now I am in school for my MSN, in the FNP program at a local university. I do think the CNA/CMT experience helpe...
  10. Using Hand Sanitizers - Is a squirt and go method enough?

    My hospital includes hand washing in educational videos, have posters everywhere, hand sanitizer pumps and stations set up all over the units and also have infection control folks sneaking around watching out for compliance. I was shocked to learn th...
  11. WSSU FNP Fall 2016, Accepted!!!

    Congrats!! I start this fall as well :)
  12. Can I still be a good nurse if I'm bad at math?

    I was SOOO bad at math to begin with and I did fine on my PAX-RN got accepted RN school on my first try. I would suggest finding a math tutor to brush up on fractions, decimals, and basic algebra. Best wishes to you!!
  13. 40 yr old with GED. Is a MSN even possible?

    Me too, and vomit, blood, snot....and so on. And I have a BSN and currently a FNP student.
  14. "I do the same thing as an RN"

    Saying that that you could do everything an RN does is not only inaccurate but it perpetuates the divide. Why not just say,you are a great nurse. You do your job well and you are needed and valued. My RNs need me and I need them. Thank you for being ...
  15. How can I make Rocephin I'm hurt less???

    IV? Would that not be painful as well? Our docs have been prescribing I'm rocephin lately and I always ask them to reconsider and give an oral antibiotic to our elderly unless they refuse to take the medication. I hate to stick them, they are so frag...
