..hmm...second time this has happened so by now, I should known better lol. I posted a wound care issue in the wound care nursing section with no avail. Since I'm genuinely concerned and am seeking advice..I decided to repost here. I serve primarily ...
I serve primarily as a wound care nurse on my floor and I have one resident who some how developed a decubitus on his scrotum. The resident is on the obese side and his stomach overhangs on his scrotum causing the wound environment to be really warm ...
I know dansko sizes are in European sizing (EU) but that's where my problem lies:for some reason, its always tricky for me to pinoint what my EU size is. According to most conversion charts, a US womens shoe size 10, which is my size, is supposed to ...
just when i was about to try your hydrocollloid suggestion, i went back to work only to find that the resident out to the hospital because of how aggravated the area became. now that he;s back we're really trying to nip this issue in the bud, so what...
I've seen another nurse use the skin prep + nystatin powder method on a patient, however, that patient's site was no where as irritated as my resident's is. I actually tried using the skin prep once and he let out a scream so loud, I practically fell...
I will try this tomorrow...I know we have hydrocolloid and we should have calmoseptine. If not, I'll put in an order for it. Thanks for the advice. For my patient's sake, I hope it works!
I originally posted in the wound/ostomy section to no avail...go figure! since I work in a post acute unit in a SNF, I figured I'd try my luck here. I am the treatment nurse on my unit on a pretty consistent basis and we recenty admitted a patient wi...
I am the treatment nurse on my unit on a pretty consistent basis and in the last two months, we have had 2 patients with ileostomies. We were ill equipped and only had the premeasured 1-piece colostomy bag available for the first patient, which were ...
Yea..I always add negotiable.you're absolutely right about the experience pay scale...so i never understand why employers even ask about a salary requirement. just another thing for applicants to stress about I guess lol. Even though the company kno...
Thanks for the great advice! This would be a change of pace for me so I am not extensively experienced in the area that I am applying for since I currently do home care as well as as Long term care, so I guess There was no formal application form..T...
I don't know about you, but I know always hate the salary requirement part because I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by either lowballing or highballing it. I don't want to be taken advantage of financially or appear uninformed if I put in a s...
Yes, I know combining med pass is tricky. However when there is only one nurse to 40 patients, I don't know how 2 med passes can be done especially when new orders, new admissions, falls, etc are subject to happen at any time. I would hope facilities...
No. You're reading way too much into it. If I were an LPN, I would've written the same thing. point being if you are any sort of licensed nurse, you have patients AND a license to protect, so I'm sure you would assess no matter what letters follow yo...
Please do not take offence, I was just stating my title. My facility does not really make a differentiation between LPNs and RNs, so I have no reason to make this a LPN vs RN thing.
