1. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

   Tanacious replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, that is a problem that should never happen. We have to find a way to protect our elderly. It is sad that we have people that find this acceptable to do to someone.

2. Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

   Tanacious replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

   It is nice, very nice! We rarely have 4 and we have 2 aides at times 3 and we have 28 pts on the floor with 6 rooms for ICU pts.

3. Just Say “NO” to Nurse Staffing Laws

   Tanacious replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly, I don't see how one can take more than 4 pts at a time. I work Cardiac Stepdown and we have 4 at most but usually 3. I have read where some RNs have 7 pts, no way I would take that load, not even 6.

4. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

   Tanacious replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

   That's a hard road to go down. All the horror stories we see and read about I can understand why families would want this. I don't agree, but maybe cameras in the rooms that are monitored in a central location like telemetry does. Still a fine roa...

5. Please Help

   Your daughter has to fight her own battles if she is gonna make it. If the preceptor is too much for her she can request a different one. Her, not you! Honestly, the family members will be much hard on her then the preceptor at times, so she needs...

6. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

   Tanacious replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I wish we had better options on night shift. I know I can pack my own food but sometimes I just don't have the time at home. So many unhealthy options on nights.

7. Curiosity Killed the Cat and Got 50 Hospital Employees Fired

   Tanacious replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

   We had a "high" profile patient on my floor, I stayed far away from his name.

9. Cape Fear Valley Medical Center

   Tanacious replied to KARRN's topic in North Carolina

   I absolutely LOVE working at CFVMC!!! I have nothing negative to say. My patient ratio is normally 4:1 occasionally 5:1 but that's hardly ever. I work on a Cardiac floor!

10. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    Tanacious replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    Actually their pass rate was quite good until that year. I figured out why but they haven't had an issue with any classes prior to or since.

11. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    Tanacious replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

    When I went to Nursing school this is what quite a few of my instructors told the students as well. They said that many times their C students were better clinically than their A students. They said that the A students found it harder to think crit...

12. Small paycheck making me second guess career!

    Tanacious replied to nurse1990's topic in Career Support

    I guess my question would be how many hours did you work? Are you a new grad? Maybe per diem is a better option for you if f/t isn't giving you what you expect. Not that per diem will either because sometimes you may not get a pay check at all. A...

14. Army recruiter says I should join as LPN with BSN

    Tanacious replied to Newnurse19832016's topic in Government

    I am not sure what options you have right now if you are wanting to join as an Army nurse since you have to have 2 years experience to direct commission. That requirement is non waiver able so I'm not sure what recourse you have at the moment. And ...

15. Torn Between 2 Jobs

    Oh goodness, that's a question only you can answer Hun. I wouldn't stay anywhere I wasn't happy personnally but that's me. Do you see yourself liking working in a LTC? Go there for a day if possible and check it out. Money isn't everything but it'...
