  2. LTC position- 100 % of patients are cognitively

    I have worked in long term care most of my nursing career. It can be rewarding just as any other type of nursing can be. My advice it to try it before you buy it. Which means go in as pool or agency first before you take a full time job. Long ter...
  3. New LPN having trouble c CNA'S!!! HELP!!!

    I have posted on the subject before. Much of the problems with bad CNAs are that they are bad employees. Unfortunately it is to often the case that the administration of the facilities we work for does nothing to get rid of bad employees. Further l...
  4. CNA issue~can anyone advise?

    All due respects most CNAs do not act this way. I was a aide and I certainly did not act the way this person is acting. I know first hand how difficult the job of an aide is. The person in question is just a bad employee. There is no need to undergo...
  5. CNA issue~can anyone advise?

    I have worked many years in long-term care as staff and as a supervisor and have run into my share of trolls. Do your self a favor. When interviewing for a job in long-term care ask about the staff and how disciplinary problems are handled. Know u...
  6. For all of you night nurses

    I work the 7p-7a shifts every Saturday and Sunday in long term care. You could not pay me any amount of money to work any other shift. I have not had problems with mixing up words. But then I am only up over night two days per week. Regardless, so...

  11. This falls in the catagory of, "Ya gotta do what Ya gotta do" If this is what ya gotta do to acheive your goal then do it. Will it be easy? No. If you do not have early classes on Monday then I would suggest working 3p to 7am, the work loads are n...
  12. Any baylors here?

    I have already posted several times about the advantages of working the Baylor System. I love it. Just a word of caution, a 12-hour shift is a long one so do not expect to get much else done during the weekends that you are working them. It should...
  13. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    My attitude is this; you walk into a hospital or nursing home you deal with the staff there. As nurse I have had to switch assignments with male nurses because some woman, usually old, or her family did not want a male nurse taking care of her. It ...
  14. My almost venture into LTC! Verrrrrrrry long!

    Not all LTC facilities are like the one you visited. Before walk into a interview at a LTC you should do a little research at the place. Much like a family would who is about to place their family member. There is a great deal of information on the...
  15. the cnas have taken over!!

    Now that is what I call team work. For those nurses who do not want nursing assistants looking at the patient chart give them report. They have just as much right to know what they are walking into as you do and want to be informed of any exposure...
