1. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

   Roman1 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   I see this one documented all the time "floor matt down and next to bed". It's floor mat. I always want to say, so you put Matt on the floor!

2. Report Descrimination

   Roman1 replied to startingover2016's topic in General Nursing

   Based upon your previous posts, you are in a monitoring program and most likely have stipulations on your license. So I do not believe it is discrimination. I hope everything is still going well for, with your recovery.

3. Is this ethical?

   Roman1 replied to pumpkinspice's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately I have experienced this also with some families. The family/ responsible party want the resident up for all activities. How I have dealt with it is by telling the responsible party that the resident has rights. If the resident refuses t...

4. 3 Med Errors in One Shift

   Roman1 replied to Roman1's topic in Safety

   Thank you for your input. I'll clarify some things that your responses asked. I was part of the RCA which is how I got involved in this, and I have previous RCA experience. Basically everything was broken down ( how often worked, staffing, environmen...

5. 3 Med Errors in One Shift

   Roman1 posted a topic in Safety

   I know medication errors happen. We are human. As a newer nurse I am not naive enough to believe it will never happen to me. With that said I am concerned and upset about a PRN nurse that made 3 med errors in one shift. Let me know if I am being wron...

6. Hospice patient requests to smoke

   Roman1 replied to eatenalive365's topic in Hospice

   Red Kryptonite, (sorry can't quote from my phone) I agree with you. I wish the facility I worked for could have a designated hospice area, staffed with a hospice nurse and CNA. We at times can have quite a few resident's on hospice care. When I did ...

7. Hospice patient requests to smoke

   Roman1 replied to eatenalive365's topic in Hospice

   When a resident enters into hospice care at the facility I work for, all charting/ I&O's/ notes etc are paper charted in a seperate hospice chart. Basically do not chart in the emr any more. Not sure why it's done this way, but that's what this f...

8. Cleveland Clinic New Grad Pay

   Roman1 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio

   It is a little over $18/ hour during orientation. Then $24/hr. Night shift differential is $25/hr. Hope this helps!

9. Hospice patient requests to smoke

   Roman1 replied to eatenalive365's topic in Hospice

   Heron I understand what you are saying, yes constipation can cause pain and agitation. I should of added that the hospice nurse had been out that morning and had given a suppository and it was very effective. Myself and the other nurse were told this...

10. Hospice patient requests to smoke

    Roman1 replied to eatenalive365's topic in Hospice

    I can not like your post enough! I still work PRN at a skilled/LTC facility and deal with hospice resident's quite a bit. Recently had a resident actively dying with a lot of agitation, even on good doses of Morphine and Ativan. So I called hospice a...

11. Frustrated With New Narcotic Rules

    Roman1 replied to Donnagg123's topic in Geriatric

    I work PRN at a LTC and I know for new admits the discharge med list including prescriptions for any narcs are faxed or called into the pharmacy prior to the patient arriving. That way we are able to pull starters from the narc box along with any oth...

12. child abuse question?

    Roman1 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Student Assist

    I agree with all the previous posters. That is a ridiculous question. Your instructor needs to give you a more detailed scenario. I have a 4 yr old and a 15 month old. Yesterday morning my 15 month old who is a new walker did a header onto the hardwo...

14. How do you deal with a bad clinical instructor?

    Roman1 replied to Lori215's topic in General Students

    Duskyjewel is absolutely correct with her post. Make sure everyone in your group does an evaluation. The nurses on your floor have noticed as well. The last thing your school wants besides a bad reputation at the hospital, is to lose a clinical site....

15. How do you deal with a bad clinical instructor?

    Roman1 replied to Lori215's topic in General Students

    What is bothering me about your clinical situation, is that it takes your instructor 30-45 min to get you patient's. To me that is unacceptable. Your instructor should be there before you all arrive. The instructor should already have you assigned to...
