   AuntieNursey replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   No, your mother is not going to "snap out of it", it's dementia and it's probably been going on for quite a while, which you would have noticed it you had actually visited her at home instead of calling 3 times a year. And no, I have no idea why she ...

2. Has anyone ever been accused of elderly abuse

   AuntieNursey replied to cnabeginner's topic in Activism

   Yes, by a "manager" whom I had found doctoring charts and billing for supplies not used and caught having an affair with another nurse. Thought it would take care of all his problems. But the BON in my state investigated and found no wrong doing on m...

   We laugh so we CAN be concerned and compassionalte instead of telling people to take their self-induced psychotic/physical issues back into the community where they will do the most harm. We laugh because we care about our patients and want to do the...

   Not only abandonment, but lord knows what could have been living on the bed. She didn't know what the room mate had, the possibilities are endless. To put a baby on a dirty bed is inexcusable. The "shudder" factor is off the scale, yeech. Drop a dime...

9. Her perfume stinks!!

   AuntieNursey replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

   YOU stated that upper management has spoken to her, does your workplace have a policy about wearing scents? Don't laugh, I worked with children with D.D. as well as physical and emotional disabilities for years and the workplace had a written policy ...

13. Entitled Generation

    AuntieNursey replied to javajaydon's topic in General Nursing

    I think its unreasonale to expect nurses, or any medical staff really or any human for that matter, to work rotating schedules. There have been many studies that reinforce how physically disruptive it is to switch from days to evenings to nights. A n...
