   Flynurse replied to Flynurse's topic in Geriatric

   I am absolutely certian sundowners exsists. Maybe this admin. person doesn't know what it is? As it was said, most of the residents we make comfy in their rooms and they come right back out to the hall because they are too restless. Our residents lie...

2. Want to hear your pet peeves in LTC nursing

   Flynurse replied to mondkmondk's topic in Geriatric

   The Line Up... in the hallway. The "that's not my job" or "I didn't know I wasn't suppose to do that" CNA. A charge nurse that just can't get it together and then piles it all on the other nurse at the end of the shift.

3. The Line Up... In The Hallway?

   Flynurse posted a topic in Geriatric

   here's an ongoing problem at our facility, and needs to be fixed for the dignity of our residents (and because i don't like stepping in poo that has rolled downhill ). after evening meal our residents tend to get lined up in the hallway along the wal...

4. Charge Nurse did CNA work. Learned A LOT.

   Flynurse replied to arelle68's topic in Geriatric

   At the begining of the shift I make my expectations known and update my CNA's on resident changes and the DON's concerns. I end this brief meeting with "Excellent care makes HAPPY residents and happy residents use call lights less." Nothing is a grea...

5. Please share with me your experiences with this....

   Flynurse replied to *LA*'s topic in Hospice

   Working in a hospice house we continuously experience these situations first hand. I have so many stories in the back of my mind it's amazing. I never knew these events were called Near Death Awareness, but how appropriately named. I have two favori...

6. Younger Nurses: Do you find people dont take you seriously? (semi-rant)

   Flynurse replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

   OH, BTW if you look young, then you look young. Don't try to "hide" it. You'll just run into more problems about not being yourself. However, I do recommend being conservative in dress and grooming. And above all be professional in all that you do at...

7. Younger Nurses: Do you find people dont take you seriously? (semi-rant)

   Flynurse replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

   Though I am 27 (looking quite like 17) I hear these comments over and over. I've been a nurse for 5 years now. All along I have taken it with a smile and say "Yes, I'm old enough to be a nurse. Otherwise, they would have never given me a license." I ...

9. What kind of first aid kit do you have?

   Flynurse replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

   The last place I worked handed out first aide kits to the nursing staff last year. For what reason I don't know. They may have been some part of a promotion package with Johnson and Johnson since they use to buy alot of stuff from them. It was a pret...

12. eye edema/puffiness post crying

    Flynurse replied to purseOnalityRN's topic in General Nursing

    *sigh* This reminds me of something one of the Directors of Nursing I use to work for told me once, "There's no crying in nursing." He was a donkey's patoot however. I didn't stay there much longer after that. I say there is crying in nursing, just a...

    Flynurse replied to nursegoodlove's topic in Nebraska

    I did a little research, but I'm not sure if you are comfortable buying things over the internet. I found the website to the catalog for Girls and Boys Town and searched under apparel. This is what I found: https://www.girlsandboystown.org/store/prod...
