I attach the feeding line to the G-tube after I have flushed it and it is flushing well. I go back to check it 1 hour later and the feeding line is no longer attached to the G-tube and the formula...

Unfortunately, in today's economy you have to take whatever job you can get. Take the job and do the best you can.

The CNA's are in charge at my nursing home. The CNA's constantly call the administrator, corporate or the union over every little thing. And sure enough they always get their way. Management just...

I remember many years ago watching a court TV program. A" prison" nurse was accused of killing her husband with a drug overdose of insulin. I remember thinking that maybe he had just accidently given...

I work at a nursing home. The CNA'S are all in the union. They do whatever they want to do. Nobody does anything about it. Some of them are extremely rude, nasty and hateful to the nurses and to the...

My friend says they try to kill the night shift nurses every year for nurses week. They have a luncheon each year and then leave out all of the "leftovers" on the table all day for the night shift...

Yes the first week it was heaven. We all thought it was just a "temporary situation". We didn't realize that it was going to be permanent. Now we all hate and resent the fact that we all have to show...

No. They do nothing. They don't mention it at all. In fact, instead of the usual 2 "mandatory meetings" a month we are scheduled to do 4 mandatory meetings this month.:madface: I guess that's how...

I work in a nursing home. I don't have time to "help" anyone. I am too busy passing out medications most of the time. I am "too busy" to care. If I were to spend any kind of "quality time" with my...

Hey, you've given me a great idea!!! I will get a photo of that "obnoxious nurse" at my job and use it as my photo here on AN.:roflmao:

The minute I am in my car and away from the facility, I scream and swear at the top of my lungs. I tell everyone off who upset me. I call them all horrible names and tell them what I would like to...

When I worked in hospice many years ago, I was told that continuous G-tube feedings were not allowed for hospice patients. I now work in LTC and the majority of our residents on hospice are also on...

Congratulations LTCNS. I am so glad to hear that you found a place that actually appreciates its staff. That's amazing!!!

Yes Brandon. I am sure that it is just a matter of time before the state does in fact shut it down.

At my LTC, they have now over-hired on purpose both nurses and CNA's on all shifts. Therefore, even if you were hired for full-time hours you have to take your turn and go home. They never call...

Well the nurse supervisor at my LTC says this almost every day "I have never been so utterly frustrated in my entire life. I've got to find a new job."

I just went by the names and titles that were on the work schedule. It was the late 1980's when I was working at the state hospital. We had this great RN supervisor who went and checked all of the...

Thanks to all for your comments. Many many years ago, I had a "great RN supervisor". Sadly, it turned out that he was not a nurse at all and they got rid of him.

Yes, that sounds like my LTC too. Be sure to clock out on time too or you'll be written up for doing "overtime."

According to OSHA rules, nursing homes must have the necessary equipment to keep you from hurting your back when you are working. Check it out at Osha.gov

Don't talk to the nurse manager about your complaints. They don't want to hear about any complaints. You are indeed "rocking their boat" and they will label you a "trouble maker". They don't like...

I was curious about how much experience some of the CNA's and nurses at my LTC had so I looked up their licenses at the state board site. I found most of them at this site. However, some of the...

A nurse at my LTC told me that once a union gets into an LTC that they never leave. She said that I need to accept the fact that some of the CNA's who are always lazy nasty and hateful will always be...

Management has told us nurses that they cannot fire the lazy nasty hateful CNA's because they are protected by "the union."

We have 2 extreme attention seeking patients both in the same room at the LTC!!! When you are "obviously busy" with one of the patients in the room the other patient in the room is well aware of...
