1. Corporate took over my facility...

   luvsltcrn replied to Mysilver1's topic in Geriatric

   That actually sounds like great staffing for a long term care facility.

2. Diploma RN's, any of us left?

   luvsltcrn replied to DiplomaNurseRN's topic in ADN/BSN

   Me!!! Graduated in 1996. I wish diploma programs were still around. We received such better training and you left nursing school ready for a position as a nurse. I absolutely loved my nursing school. We learned so much and spent so many hours in...

3. Why are nurse managers jerks?

   luvsltcrn replied to Cola89's topic in Management

   Being in a middle management nurse manager position is one of the toughest positions there is as a nurse. Try spending a week in their shoes before you judge them so harshly. I'm sure there are "jerks" in every position in every career but not all ...

4. The Enemy... The Nurse Manager

   luvsltcrn replied to I.Am.A.Nurse.'s topic in Management

   OP I could not agree with your post more!! Middle management is the most difficult position I have ever had. You hear complaints from administration/CEO and also from floor staff. Impossible to make everyone happy and nobody understands what you ...

5. Can nurses do more for patients coming from ECFs with stage III pressure ulcers?

   luvsltcrn replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Nursing

   Not all SFNs are equal in care. There are good SNFs and bad SNFs just as there are good hospitals and bad hospitals. I get really frustrated when the assumption is made that all SNFs are bad. I have been with the same company for 20 years and DON fo...

6. Can nurses do more for patients coming from ECFs with stage III pressure ulcers?

   luvsltcrn replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Nursing

   Really??? Because you are sending them back to a SNF they are automatically going to be neglected?? Patients develop pressure ulcers with the best care regardless of where they are - SNF, hospital or home. I have gotten many patients from hospital...

7. Fear of losing my license

   luvsltcrn replied to Aryea, LVN's topic in Geriatric

   I have worked in long term care for 20 years. I am fortunate that I work for a very good company and our facilities are run very well. The only nurses I have ever seen that lost their license was for drug diversion. I'm not sure why many new nurs...

8. Am I able to get a raise once I get my BSN?

   luvsltcrn replied to nightflower's topic in General Nursing

   I think it is different for different companies. At my company BSN is paid the same as ADN.

9. Tattoos?

   luvsltcrn replied to heronurse's topic in Professionalism

   I like tattoos and actually have one. I chose to get it on my back where it is only seen by people I want to see it. I wouldn't be completely comfortable having one where it could be seen by anyone. I work with great nurses that have tattoos and ...

10. If you could speak your mind...

    luvsltcrn replied to GSDlvrRN's topic in Relations

    This!!! At least once an hour!

11. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    luvsltcrn replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Wait!!! We can afford luxury items?!?! Seriously though the only thing I do differently is I could afford to buy a house and did so and I take one really nice vacation every year. I couldn't have done that on my pre nursing salary.

12. 12 hour shift husband and baby, what works best

    luvsltcrn replied to adra's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't sound possible to me. When I worked night shift I sometimes would go without sleeping before my first night shift but then would come home and crash for pretty much the whole next day before going in again. My husband and I rarely saw ...

14. Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    luvsltcrn replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    Try being a nurse for a few years and then come back and tell us the "truth".

15. I Left Work Sick- Can I be Charged With Patient Abandonment?

    luvsltcrn replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    This happened to a co-worker at my first nursing job and she was reported to the BON She did receive a discipline although I'm not sure what it was since I didn't keep in contact with her.
