    Charge nurse

    I am a fill in house supervisor and I hate every minute of it. The politics ,the drama and staffing issues are to much most days..I prefer to take my 2 or 3 ICU patients and do patient care.

    Help, I hate my job

    A ratio of 1:10 is WAY to high for LTACH... There is no way care can be completed or even attempted with this ratio. If I were you I would look at other LTACH's and check their ratios.

    What would you do???

    Dementia patients take someone with a special touch. Redirect...re approach and then redirect some more is the key....always ask your charge nurse for help. She actually should come down and try to brush the patients teeth herself just so she can see...

    LVNs/LPNs being phased out?!

    LVNs going extinct? MAs taking over?

    $24 bucks a hour is pretty good for a tech position.....however, since MA's are not licensed they will never be able legally to replace the position of a LVN (hospital setting) unless that LVN is actually working as a tech. Because MA's do not give m...
