    QuietIsntAWord replied to kamrox's topic in Nurse Registration

    QuietIsntAWord replied to Nurse071094's topic in General Nursing

    Also, good documentation is important here! Never place blame on a co-worker in your documentation, but be specific about what time you assumed care and what you did for them. If there are problems in...

  7. The ridiculousness of LTC/SNF

    QuietIsntAWord replied to YUKONrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  11. Responsible for 132 clients and Working during breaks

    QuietIsntAWord replied to Nroh's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a similar situation. I clock out for my break and I do leave the unit, but I can't leave the "campus". I do have CNAs on the floor and I carry a radio with me everywhere I go in case I'm...

    QuietIsntAWord replied to smartassmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Why weren't meds given in the given time? I understand a heavy load, and being called away, but why would your DON actually say document meds in the time limit? HUGEEE red flag to

  13. Fired for Falsifying Documents. What to expect

    QuietIsntAWord replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Deep breath in, deep breath out. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things that I can and the wisdom to know the difference. You've done nothing...

    QuietIsntAWord replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't think you have anything to worry about. the BON have more worries than some missed Tylenol and Gabapentin. IMO theres no way they will even look at this as a serious report. I...

    QuietIsntAWord replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    QuietIsntAWord replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Also, just to add on about the blister packs. Some months have more or less than 30 days and sometimes they get more than one pill a day. I'm not sure how they are using them being "off" as leverage...
