  1. What does "WWP" stand for in a job title?

    I can't find it either. Where did you see that title? what country/state?
  2. looking at my daughters medical record

    I feel for you. It is so aggravating to have a physician who refuses to do blood work because they think one looks well. My daughter was sitting there with a sheet around her shoulders shivering and because she didn't have a temp the doctor didn't th...
  3. looking at my daughters medical record

    Thank you for your response. My daughter was taken to a much larger hospital away from this area because the hospital here stated she needed specialized care they could not give. Thank Goodness. There is a team of doctors working with my daughter inc...
  4. looking at my daughters medical record

    Thank you SonorityGenius and canesdukegirl for your intelligent replies. My daughter's primary care physician refused to do blood work because she stated my daughter looked "physically well". Upon my insistence, blood work was done and it was found t...
  5. My daughter is 18 and I am her health care power of attorney. She doesn't understand the widely used words of the medical profession. My daughter has been very sick lately and she was misdiagnosed by her primary health care provider. She requested a ...
  6. The instructor in question sounds just like all the nursing instructors I had back in the 90's. Our skills instructor actually got under the bed to check how wrinkled the sheets were. (we didn't use fitted sheets then). It was a nightmare. We would...
  7. LPN Day Shift Supervisor?

    I work for a LTC facility. I haven't been there long. I was talking to the 7p-7a RN who works on the unit where I will be working and she told me day shift has an LPN who is charge. There are RN's working the day shift and this LPN is considered char...
  8. Fired all the LPN's

    That is just really sad. I am sorry to hear about such a thing happening, but it seems to be happening to many facilities. Here in Illinois some of the dialysis facilities have completely decided to no longer have LPN's and only hire RN's. Someone co...
  9. What's in your pocket(s)?

    RN in long term care. What would you find in my pockets 2 hours into the shift? 1. writing pen 2. possibly a couple of unopened alcohol wipes (those pesky finger sticks) 3. a piece of paper with all the initials of residents who need finger sticks an...
  10. new grad RN in LTC- overwhelmed!

    Is there no DON because he/she left and they haven't been replaced in a month? That seems like such a long time to be without a DON. Who is responsible for what goes on with nursing? I hope they don't have you as just the warm body to point a finger ...
  11. I hate being a LPN in LTC. The horror!

    Sorry to hear that you are having such a miserable time with your LTC job. WELCOME TO LTC! I have worked as a registered nurse at 4 LTC facilities and it's the same at every single one. My first evening of orientation I was placed on the med cart by ...
  12. 3rd shift roll call!

    LTC here working 7pm-7am. I wouldn't have it any other way. I have another nurse on the other wing that does her thing and I do mine. If we need help we can call each other. It's quiet without management, housekeeping, dietary, etc. I like it that wa...
  13. Non-Compliant Alzheimer Patient

    yep, crush them and put them in the food. The care plan notes this, the doctor agrees and the family knows we do it and agrees that this is the only route to go.
  14. anyone feel there black or muslim sounding name holds them back

    That professor needs a reality check. I had a very Italian name all during nursing school and people were always asking me if I was Italian. No, but I can speak Spanish if you'd like. Also people liked saying my 'then' last name A LOT. They liked th...
  15. I got hired!

    Congratulations on your new upcoming job.
