  1. What would you do?

    We were informed by administration that we would be receiving a 13 year old client who is diabetic and has an insulin pump. I work at a free standing psych facility. We have a NP who comes in once a week for minor medical complaints otherwise all oth...
  2. It was transcribed correctly, that is what I don't understand. The DON said she would have made the same assumption as the day nurse and the the evening nurse should have called and verify the order to make sure it was correct. The thing is the doc a...
  3. I work nights at a psychiatric facility. The facility has had a rough year with the constant changes in administration as well as several citations from the state. Last week I was doing chart checks and came across an order for a client to have Conce...
  4. Can't prove it! Very frustrating.

    Thanks for all your replies.....I just needed to vent a little. As I said before I am sorta stuck there at the moment in which case I am going to try and make the best of it.
  5. Can't prove it! Very frustrating.

    @canchaser.....no its a psychiatric facility and the CEO makes himself invisible to staff members with complaints.
  6. Can't prove it! Very frustrating.

    @delilas we are expected to sweep and mop the med room and nursing station as well as defrost the refrigerator. Makes ya wonder what exactly housekeeping's role is.
  7. Can't prove it! Very frustrating.

    I agree! The DON lets him manipulate her and so he will keep doing it.
  8. Ok....just venting! I work at a facility that didn't have a DON for months. The last one we had lasted about 1 month due to his nasty attitude and numerous complaints lodged against him. During the whole time of not having a DON and the month we di...
  9. Ever hear of such a thing?

    Thx for all the replies guys. I have been doing as I was taught in nursing school and documenting in black ink ignoring his new policy much to his dismay. @ canesdukegirl....yes he is really out of his mind on a lot of things. We showed him the nursi...
  10. Ever hear of such a thing?

    classicdame.....we never put the dietary orders on the MAR until this new DON decided they needed to put there along with other things that have no business being on the MAR.
  11. Ever hear of such a thing?

    We discussed the point of the MAR being a legal document with the DON, but his attitude about it is this is the procedure and that's how it will be. I do not agree with him and so have been writing in the dietary orders in blank ink just like any oth...
  12. Ever hear of such a thing?

    Thx for your reply. I guess I just don't like the idea of erasing anything on a MAR.
  13. Ever hear of such a thing?

    We have a new DON and a new administrator at our facility and as such they are implementing new policies and procedures. Our DON sent out a memo last week informing us that the new procedure for documenting dietary orders on the MAR is to do so in pe...
  14. Music Therapy in Psych?

    Has anyone had music therapy as part of treatment offered in their psych units? I work at a peds residential facility and have noticed that the kids tend to act out more towards the end of the day when there aren't any structured activities planned. ...
  15. Any Deaf, Hard of hearing Nurses?

    I had an instructor that would talk to me really really slow....until I told her that my hearing loss had no bearing on my intelligence. I've also run into rude...ignorant co-workers who want to make me feel like I'm a nuisance because of my hearing ...
