3. Dumbest thing you've done in nursing??

   davidndenise2001 replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

   So far, knock on wood, I don't think I've done anything to dumb, that I'm gonna recall. :icon_roll I have heard stories about a few of my collegues. One nurse was getting ready to do an enema and had a CNA helping her. She forgot to instruct the C...

   After I posted the first post, I researched some. Couldn't find anything about long term effects. The pt. is 96 yr/old. Semi-mobile. She walks w/a wheeled walker at times. But she was given at least 2-3 doses of MOM and had to be "dug out" the o...

   davidndenise2001 replied to davidndenise2001's topic in General Nursing

   We left a note for the DON because we aren't there when she is. Wouldn't a blood drug test show what and how much meds are in the residents system?

9. Meds from LPN's purse

   davidndenise2001 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I was told by a CNA that another nurse had given a resident a pill from her own purse. The CNA wasn't 100% for sure that it had happened, but it had been spoken of by the nurse on one of their many smoke breaks. It supposedly happened on 3rd shift,...

    davidndenise2001 posted a topic in Safety

    I know I've read several postings about night shift aides, and it's like I'm reading postings about the facility I work at! I work at a LTC facility that has three "halls". We have one hall that is like assisted living, our medicare hall, and then o...
