At my facility, we are having a problem with almost everyone in the facility going to lunch but not clocking out. It it were just the CMT or CNA's, we could make the nurses responsible. However, many of the nurses are not taking the time to walk to t...
Well, this particular job ended up having alot of "little changes" to the description before I actually started working. I never started because there seemed to be some confusion between the adminstrator and the DON as to what the role/responsibiliti...
I live in the burbs outside St Louis. This facility is in towards the city-which I love!! And I think it may have helped because it is tucked away in an older part of town, and it is not very big as I said. People probably assumed it was in a bad par...
I interviewed for a job last week as an ADON of a fairly small LTC facility that consists of 48 beds with an additional 16 low acuity psych beds. The psych pts are able to leave on their own, continent,etc. They are there to receive meds and short of...

I am officially movingto the DFW area inthe late summer. As a new grad I will be looking into internships starting in September. I contacted Parkland Memorial and they seemed to have what I was looking for with very good (in my opinion) GN pay. Th...
Question1- I would stay with the pt. Buspar isn't prn and pt receiving one dose is not going to be acceptable relief for anything. Question2- Not really specific enough as to "new" stoma. New as in 2 hours or 2 weeks? We know that not caring for i...
A fellow student told me that you could just pay the fee and your license would transfer, but you had to have worked for at least 30 days under my Missouri license. That seemed unfair to me because I would hate to mislead a hospital and take a full-...
I currently live in St. Louis, Missouri and will be graduating from an Associate's program in May. My husband and I plan to move to the Dallas area in fall and I was wondering what I would need to do to take my boards in Missouri straight outof scho...
