LPN Retired LPN

Yes . such a tragedy . for her and Ms Murphey . Could have been avoided .

I hope she won't have to go to prison. Shes going to have to live with this the rest of her life . that's a big punishment . her life is ruined . her nursing education is gone .

You are correct . as long as someone works it , they will never change . they do it because they can and the nurse who does it is the one putting her license on the line . im retired . im glad I don't have to work anymore .

Wow . I was hoping for something like extensive community service or something.

Well, they jury has spoken . I just wonder what they sentence will be . Whatever it is, shes going to be in her own living hell until the day she dies . she will never get over it . I know I wouldn't . maybe this can just be a learning experie...

Of course your years of experience count . you've worked hard and had a lot of dirty work to clean up. I don't like it when other nurses feel they are so much better than someone else . I bet youve been given tasks to do just because you were t...

Wow . I feel so bad for the patient and the nurse . it had to be so horrible for Ms. Murphey . to have to lie there and not be able to breathe and no way to get any help . I sit here. and try to hold my breath. Trying to put one toe in her shoe and I...

Exactly. I haven't worked in a lot of places but have worked in a few LTCs. Im thinking they all operate in about the same manner . you have licensed nurses assigned to each area and that nurse is responsible to check on delivery of med, to her assi...

I wonder why such a dangerous drug was even in the accumed cart . seems like that should only be accessible thru the actual pharmacy in the instance it is going to be administered by an anesthesiologist. I read she was on the deans list in coll...

Yes on the night shift at that facility only LPNs . supervisor on call if needed but yeah I was expected to do the calling to get the dayshift covered . im not there anymore .

I am trying to follow this along . and I was just thinking about something . There were so many warnings that she ignored and apparently ignored the 5 rights of med admin . and they say she said she gave 1 mg of the med . so if she was ignorin...

I think she will be found guilty and the hospital won't take any responsibility . all the hospital will have to do is write up some more policies and procedures on the pyxsis, do some inservice trainings and showed they did that and they will be free...

I worked alot of LTC . I had a heavy med pass scheduled for 6am and had to start early too get done by 7 am for day shift to have the cart . Call ins of CNAs started about 6 while I was trying to get thru this med pass. I was expected to be on ...

Leave a quickly as possible . I Don t think I would even give the courtesy of a notice . Then watch them scramble to get coverage .

Your facility has 24 HR coverage with licensed nurses, yes?

I worked evenings and nights .I'm retired now, about 10 years, and my sleep schedule is still messed up. I'm awake all night and sleep/ nap during the day . I wouldn't recommend staying with the night shift for an extended time . your going to retire...

It's never been an issue until this election .I have posted on facebook that anyone in .anyone who needs help getting to the voting station I will provide a free ride there and back . If we all Pitch in there's no need for mail ballots .

What is wrong with going to the voting station and voting as we have done in the past? One person one vote that's the way it's supposed to be . Yes he's right about one thing for sure . Democrats can't be trusted to be fair It's all about cheating ...

No it isn't . Just go to the voting station and vote like we have always done . Mail in ballots are are too full of opportunity to cheat . One person One vote . Just do it right and fair is what he's asking .

I have encouraged my mother to stay away from the nursing home as long as possible . My brother said probably ,5 years ago she should go to the nursing home . She is 94 today . I told her as long as she could get to the bathroom on her own and be abl...

I used to smoke years ago and stayed sick alot with bronchitis. ( Been quit now over 25 years). I was seeing the doctor alot for treatment, but I never suspected that he was reporting to my insurance . My premiums never went up . So that must be an ...

I was a job that was horrible. They had me overloaded on the night shift. Alot of feeding tunes insulin injections. And lots of other stuff that has to be done before patient got out of bed. I had to start that early morning med pass about 4:30 to be...

Your employer is screwing you really bad . like it was your fault, getting sick, after being exposed to the virus. Can you file for unemployment. Do something, fight back.

The hospital should let you stay there. Wouldn't there be an empty room, somewhere?

No, the LPNS AND THE Cnas are gona be the ones taking actual care of the patients. In the room , assisting with bedside care, emptying bedpans and urinals.
