  1. How has being (becoming) a lpn changed your life?

    Amazing :) keep your head up!
  2. The Stress of LTC

    Deep breath. and handle one thing at a time. :)
  3. What exactly is so bad about LTC??

    I love LTC! :) Every work place has its downfalls. If you like routine (most days) and getting to know your patients...LTC is the way to go. :)
  4. LPN taking wound care course; skin tear question

    I HATE TEGADERMS!!! Granted I work in LTC. I use a lot of telfa.
  5. Cutting VAC foam

    I like the idea of making a template with the sterile side of the wrapper. Right now I cut more than one piece because I cannot eyeball the size for the life of me!!

    I document the behaviors I see on our behaviors form. It then gets turned into Administrator, DON, ADON, SSD, & Careplan Coordinator. Saves my behind, the residents behind. :)

    42:usually 2. plus 3-4 aides. i work in LTC>

    I work in LTC and yes we need an order for a bandaid. It gets repetitive and seems dumb but saves you in the long run!

    Maybe not abuse. But extremely unprofessional. I'd give a verbal/written warning for it.
  10. CNAs that take extended breaks

    I hate to have to "get after" my CNAs. However, if they are not able to be responsible and do things right then I will follow them around like a child. Irritates me. lol
  11. Barrier Cream on a Skin Tear?

    oh no! I'd freak if a CNA touched my skin tear! lol. they know to come get me immediately.

    sorry it was such a crazy day
  13. Affection to residents and still professional?

    :) i love my residents. they are my family.
  14. Fantastic CNA. but...

    we have a great cna where i work. she works hard, always does a good job, and i can rely on her when she's there. that being said a couple times now, her alarm didn't go off and she's been 2+ hours late for work which in turn throws more on my other ...
  15. make up?

    oh yeah. id look sick if i didnt!! its pretty natural tho.
