1. New Ohio law would let families put cameras in nursing home rooms

   Nursingstudent___ replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

   I also wanted to add-- I learned so much more about proper body mechanics, how to look for side effects of medication, and about skin care in nursing school than I did when I took my CNA class (obviously). The information I learned in nursing school...

   It's more so that you can attract higher quality aides not necessarily bottom of the barrel. I've worked with so many great aides who have left the industry or are looking to become nurses because there is no way to support yourself on barely minimum...

   That's why I thought about it at first because of the whole ring scandal with the creepy guy looking at kids. I just don't trust technology 100%

   I know it happens I reported an aide for abuse when I saw her pick up a resident and throw her onto the bed. I just don't think this is the only answer. We should be paying CNA's more, having safer staffing ratios, and make it harder to become a CNA ...

   Ok, but what about residents who are friends with each other. Should the residents just be stuck in their rooms alone, or should they be allowed to have friends. Because I do have resident X who is friends with resident Y and resident Y has their roo...

   I'm sorry to hear about your mother, but what do you do during personal cares? I mean if the aides can't turn it off during personal cares I do think it is a privacy concern. Have you worked with the elderly? Personal cares are personal and I wouldn'...

   Thanks for the reply, does she ever have visitors in her room, and how does that work with monitoring? I guess that's the only thing that concerns me. My great grandpa was a wanderer and he would often visit people's rooms to chat. I would have worri...

11. Why do RNs choose to work in nursing homes?

    Nursingstudent___ replied to usethehaldol's topic in General Nursing

    It was the hardest class to pass in my life, I just rolled my eyes all the time. She was pretty pompous and retired that year so I don't think she cared anymore.

    Nursingstudent___ replied to usethehaldol's topic in General Nursing

    I have always found it insulting when people ask why I want to work in long term care, as a CNA I've had people tell me to my face that only bad CNA's and nurses work in LTC and nurses and CNA's with "skills" work at hospitals. My nursing instructor ...

13. My facility is restraining a resident and I feel that I can't help.

    Nursingstudent___ replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    I just wonder if we had been checking prior to administering the med she wouldn't have passed out. I know it's her home but she had to go to the ER after she passed out and had a ton of tests done. She does have pretty bad dementia but she is very s...

    Nursingstudent___ replied to Nursingstudent___'s topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the information I will keep this in mind. That's why I'm confused. She has extremely bad dementia and can't be in charge of anything so should the med pass person be assessing her condition after a med?

    Thank you for the reply. I learned in my pharm class that we were supposed to assess bp and hr prior to giving a beta-blocker. However I also understand that what we are taught is not always the same as how something is done in the real world. I appr...
