  1. PLEASE! Save my life! (PCC Experts PLEASE)

    Purple_Clover posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hello! I'm in desperate need of someone who is an expert in Point Click Care. I recently became a shift supervisor. Part of my duties is to ensure nurses are writing nurses notes every shift for...

  2. NKU admission and start dates

    Purple_Clover posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey! Does anyone know when the traditional due dates for application materials are and start dates for NKU's PMHNP program? I'm strongly considering them because it seems that they have...

  3. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

    Purple_Clover replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    But did I say "taking nursing classes?" No. If you have gained admission to a nursing program, you are a nursing student. If you are taking prereqs and not not gained formal admission, then you are...

  4. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

    Purple_Clover replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I mean... I'm not necessarily worked up about it. I'm just being a bit technical, though. Plenty of people can take nursing prerequisites, but not all of those people formally enter a nursing

  5. I am a male nursing student - What Did I Get Myself Into?!?!?

    Purple_Clover replied to nomadd917's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Not trying to be a betch, but unless you've already been accepted into a formal nursing program, you are a pre-nursing student, not a nursing student. At my school, nursing classes are double the...

  6. EKU vs NKU psych np program

    Purple_Clover replied to SykeRn0213's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Bump

  7. Exceptions to the Right to Refuse

    Purple_Clover replied to Purple_Clover's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That helps a lot! I've emailed my BON as well to see what specifics they can give me too. I have CNAs who are cleaning a resident who is clearly refusing and combative and I will have nothing to...

  8. Exceptions to the Right to Refuse

    Purple_Clover posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Can someone provide me a reputable and authoritative source to exceptions to the Right to refuse treatment or care? Am I understanding correctly that for use to force care (especially basic...

  9. Anyone NEVER been hit/hurt working psych?

    Purple_Clover replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Psychiatric

    LMAOOOO I was hit, kicked, had poop thrown at me, was cut with a razor blade, was punched in the head several times, got a sprained neck, got a concussion, etc. working in psych. It is ***ing...

  10. Why do RN's avoid LTC positions?

    Purple_Clover replied to amyca's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm an RN and I worked a year in psych and after that have worked exclusively in long term care. I love it! There is much better work life balance working 8 hour shifts and I love how most of it is...

  11. Virginia pay - low comparatively?

    Purple_Clover replied to rac1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I have had multiple offers for $30/hr for an RN in LTC in Hampton Roads, but I make even more than that

  12. PLEASE! Save my life! (PCC Experts PLEASE)

    Purple_Clover replied to Purple_Clover's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I will try

  13. Moving Resident off Covid Unit without Negative Test Result?

    Purple_Clover posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Not only did my facility keep a resident on the covid unit FOUR DAYS after he tested negative (and moved him directly to a negative floor and not quarantine first), but I just found out that a...

  14. Narcotic Question

    Purple_Clover posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hey everyone! So, there is this new (to our facility) nurse who is saying that it is fraudulent to give a narcotic (that you have a order for) which doesn't match with the instructions printed...

  15. PLEASE! Save my life! (PCC Experts PLEASE)

    Purple_Clover replied to Purple_Clover's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Unfortunately, Foley does not exist as an order type, no matter the kind of order "pharmacy," "lab," etc. selected

  16. Low Stress Specialties

    Purple_Clover replied to Hayleyjc26's topic in General Specialties

    Come to the dark side: long term care. It's the ***** wild, wild west of nursing and if you know what you're doing it can be very easy most days. I also only work 4 8's (32 hours) a week and it is...

  17. Virginia pay - low comparatively?

    Purple_Clover replied to rac1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I GUARANTEE you I make way more money than nurses with similar levels of experience in acute care by me working long term care.

  18. Hopefully taking CNA classes soon, tips/tricks?

    Purple_Clover replied to transparentChaos's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Master the one-turn-change. It will save you precious time and effort. Unless someone has had a major blowout, I can change someone by only turning them once. Has a lot to do with positioning the...

  19. CNA vs Phlebotomy

    Purple_Clover replied to CobraFan89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you want to be a nurse, do the CNA. It will at least get your feet a bit wet to the process of nursing. You'll pick up some useful information along the way. You'll have plenty of time to hone your...

  20. Why are CNA job applications like this?

    Purple_Clover replied to OpinionatedCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Welcome to healthcare. Most upper management views you as a pawn and they will treat you like one. They do not respect or value you. Get ready for the BS

  21. Are LVN/LPN programs a waste of time? BSN ultimate goal.

    Purple_Clover replied to Nurseguysf's topic in General Students

    I tell people to make this decision based on finances. If it would greatly benefit you financially (ie you have a short time frame for needing more money), then do the LPN first. If not, do the RN...

  22. Group chats and cheating?

    Purple_Clover replied to Emeraldstorm's topic in General Students

    LEAVE THE GROUP NOW. Your school may also have an honor code that requires you to report people you know are cheating. You could get seriously ****. You betta read your school/program handbook...

  23. Weekend Staffing

    Purple_Clover replied to teacher91's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Money talks. Try offering a (or a better) weekend differential. A surefire way to get people to work more is to offer bonuses for picking up shifts. You'll have people fighting to pick up

  24. Memory care-Can you pass meds in the dining room?

    Purple_Clover replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow, what a dumb

  25. PLEASE! Save my life! (PCC Experts PLEASE)

    Purple_Clover replied to Purple_Clover's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It just sucks that I would have to go to each individual resident's profile to do that. Shucks. Thanks
