  1. Staffing Shortages

    How are your facilities addressing this? Especially with the aides as they can now go out of healthcare and get compatible wages. We have tried the generous bonuses, stipends etc. Even the dreaded mandating which only makes it worse. Now Administrat...

    LOVE NADONA!
  5. Really?!? That's what you think is important?

    You can see how they created their own demise. Yes, I bet they have no idea how much Prevnar 13 is or you wouldn't be doing it! No consents for flu shots! OMG! Enjoy your interim position...I was going to do that for a while for the very same reason ...

    Well said Mean Mary Jane...that is the goal (or should be) of every facility!
  12. Work-conflict help!

    Don't document what she does. Tell her you cannot ethically do her documentation for her. Write down the date, time and incident and give a copy to your DNS. The next time she does this write down the date, time and incident and give a copy to the DN...
  13. Best Recruitment Strategy Thread

    As we are all so aware how very difficult if can be to recruit staff let's start a thread of ideas used. I sure could use some new ones! Thank you everyone

  15. Directors--what do you wear?

    I wear business casual most days unless I know there is a special meeting, QA&A or a presentation that I should dress more "polished" for. I wear a lab coat sometimes....usually when its hot and I want to wear sleeveless and cover my arms althou...
