I thought the Board had to give specific information about the complaint. It is a public office and I thought this was all public information. How can they present information about an accusation without showing who the accuser is?

And no I never got to learn how to read an EKG. I’m not the smartest nurse however they only gave us one test question on the entire chapter about it. I have no idea about one of those and isn’t that sad... I’ve also never started an IV. Or anything with a chest tube drainage. Or inserted a ng tube. All I know is I was trained in it

I’m sure it a head to toe assessment can.... however in Texas you can be a hospice patient with a full code. They even taught us that in school. I agree I want to learn more however I think it is difficult in a long term setting without being in a hospital setting that it is difficult to perform all the functions necessary to fulfill an maxim level of practice. I need help in knowing how to do this and no I do not want to offend you or hurt feelings. This is all still new to me and I hope to be able to ask alota questions in the near future on how to exactly handle protocol and based off personal knowledge and assessments. I would just be happy to work at a nursing home with someone who can. Prescribe or change orders and not require an act of Congress to do so. I really do not want to upset you and I appreciate you informing me to take more education in classes. Yes a thorough apical pulse reading can tell you a lot however I would rather someone read me an ekg machine readout. in Texas we had all different kinds of deaths at the nursing home And we had paramedics there nearly every night... I had never got to be part of anything like that and I’ve never had more fun (except for patient condition) to do. It just all starts with what needs to be called for an emergency and dialing 911... sorry your upset

While that is all true. However in my personal opinions hospice patients that are full code should be treated with being able to be sent to the er. i had backup when on most my decisions by the registered nurse don. I was just joking about sending the patient to the hospital with those ailments however when someone suffered a cardiac arrest that is the protocol. There could be other unforeseen problems that have to be ruled out with in-depth testing that a simple head to toe assessment does not address

i Am just very interested in seeing my ability in knowing when someone needs emergent care. While having a doctor on call is ideal many times the patient does need the emergency room. If they do not like handling the situation they should find a new career because that is what is an er is for. Not what they want it to be for

That’s all I learned to do and the skills and give iv anti biotics. I am glad to be supervised that way I can have a buddy during all this. I’ve seen a facility basically fall apart with just two LVNs working with 80 pts of all kinds of conditions. I get worried for my license but I think it’s really fun to work the floor as much as possible and be there for the residents.

No I haven’t yet but when I worked over night on the weekends before I came into several times I had to call 911 or transport for someone to go to the er. I had several cardiac arrest, grand mal seizures, not feeling right, disabled on hospice and that’s just to name a few. It was the only way to get them to a doctor. If the facility had anyone on call I was unaware and just used the er like a dr visit. However most needed an icu or er.

I looked some up recently and it was for very minor errors in medication administration..... basically over the counter medication dosage error.... some are severe and need to be revoked.... I was not going to the doctor however I have been going to my mental health provider for 5 years straight now

I did not really understand that either and I need them on my bed actually cause I have rolled off of it before. I was very upset when that happened to me while I was working and I felt beyond awful for the patient. I was in the middle of instructing everyone in the facility to help everyone to lower them to the floor but I was about 10 minutes to late. I will never forget the injury and how furious I was and it still something I live with. That’s why I am so excited to return and do better this time and really show what I’m capable of and that nursing can work. I’m just a few years behind with not knowing I could work being out of state in a program with separate health monitoring. I want to learn up to the adon and I may not need to go any further with that salary unless I want to continue to pursue law school for my personal goals. I’m just excited to return to this and make a difference. I wanted to use the area I’m from with my mental health providers and local support organizations and drug testing facilities. I use two different states and work in the third one. It’s wild I think

I had that happen to me however the facility had a company remove the side rails on beds per state policy for no restraints and the patient died as a result. They did not lower the patients beds or mattress to the floor which I was in the process of trying to do. They were a hospice patient however they had extensive traumatic head injury

Yes I would absolutely do it however just make sure if possible you have a stable home life to go back home to. I never thought I would end up revoked however I am finding nearly countless revoked nurses and without income in it you go broke and lose everything unless you can find a job you can live with doing full time if you can make ends meet. Being single in this world is no fun cause two incomes under one roof you can survive but just one income for one roof is very hard... plus a car food and everything else Go for a lpn fast track if you want to try two years of education in nursing at once

I was unaware of ADON and the pay scale exactly. I knew they had AdON and that an lvn can be one and the average pay is like 70k. Charge nurse is roughly 40k full time that however to me is a huge difference for the same amount of education however that would be enough for me to survive on by myself. The 40K works however it cuts kinda slim. I am required to be in the program and provide direct patient care. Do any adon do any direct patient care? All I can find is online. I am hoping that once I start back I can use my associate degree in administration to make more money but I don’t know if a nursing home would pay more however the degree is in the same building and oversees some of the operation. I am not for sure how all of it works but I know there is an administration side and I’m just hoping I can make more money so I can have my rent a of car and go back to living in the extend stay.

When I start I want to send everyone to er to get a good start

I’m just going back into them... I just don’t want to look stupid... if I self retrain in this I would like to try a hospital.... I just know how to follow the orders and do the skills.... I don’t want an illness to occur while I’m taking care of them so I’m sending them to the er over anything... stumped toe their going could be broke... cough their going could be pneumonia.... broke fingernail could be gang green... paper cut life flight that’s my drift.... I’m going back into skilled nursing facility... I’m so nervous and excited

Haha I noticed I never I got any of that offered.... I’m going to go full steam ahead and just study.... I’m all about this now that I have my license.... I’m just worried about not knowing what to do in an assessment however I’m the type to send them to the er for anything that’s wrong.. how can you be wrong with that
