    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This makes me sad, but I also think there may be some truth to this. I act as if I'm the only one capable of producing a thorough assessment, complete a progress note or initiate an SBAR, but that...

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    All fair enough. I've been thrust into this role of being a support nurse for the LTC nurse, I did not actually volunteer or sign up to help out extra on this unit, nor did I indicate to the nurses...

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that the expectations need to be clarified. My superiors were actually pretty vague when they stated I would be moved down to LTC as a support person. The nurses down there seem to think...

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I guess my thinking was that the nurse could attend to the physical request of the patient and I would help her out with the charting, since she was concerned about not getting that done. By no means...

    Four 12s in a row?!?! ??

    SilverBells replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Four shifts in a row can be very tiresome, and I know as a floor nurse, I used to avoid them unless I absolutely could avoid it. Three in a row are tough enough. With that said, I do believe...

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that maybe I was in the wrong in this situation, which is entirely possible. I'm not always right. I guess my question is, though, where does one draw the line between their own...

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    There are assessments/daily progress notes that any nurse can do. Things such as Skilled Nursing Data Collections, Day 1-4 Admission Assessments, Oral Data Collections, Pain Data Collections, Morse...

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I had other duties/responsibilities at the time. It actually would have been to her advantage to accept my offer to assist with the charting. She often reports that she stays too long after...

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Respectfully, I do understand that this person needed help. In no way, shape, or form was I offended that she needed assistance with a few things. With that said, I did give her a few options,...

    Getting used to this med pass! Is it just me?

    SilverBells replied to vwgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little confused because originally you stated that your morning meds need to start at 6am, then changed it to 6:30 am after someone asked if you could start earlier at 5am. Regardless, it...

    Out of My Element Again

    SilverBells posted a topic in General Nursing

    A while back, I had posted about my discomfort of being assigned to work the COVID unit. My main thing was that the COVID unit didn’t bring out my strengths, but sure highlighted my weaknesses....

    OK, what are you supposed to be doing instead of being in here?

    SilverBells replied to JBudd's topic in General Nursing

    I probably still should be working on my thesis... However, a "fun fact" that it is now up to 90 pages long and contains over 19,000 words I think I'm doing pretty

    Out of My Element Again

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You may be right about this. There could be multitude of reasons why they are not delegating the admissions role to me and having me complete fewer admission assessments when the workload becomes too...

    Admissions Coordinator Requirements

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Specialties

    When you say they aren't sure where to place me, that's probably true in a sense. Right now, there just aren't enough patients for there to be two rehab managers working the position. The other...

    Documenting Every Time 911 is NOT called

    SilverBells posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I am not sure who is familiar with how electronic documentation works in SNF settings. However, as a brief explanation, in our facility, nurses mainly have two sets of "charting" that they are...

    Out of My Element Again

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I am very protective of the tasks that I do well at, especially when I see others underperforming. I like things to be done right so errors are not

    Out of My Element Again

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    There have been instances where the individuals originally putting in orders and doing assessments have done so using discharge summaries that are over a year old. Without my careful review of the...

    Out of My Element Again

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, not necessarily that I'm entitled to any role. Just don't understand the role placement going on because, as I mentioned, the person currently doing the admissions role is currently lacking in...

    Are some people not meant for acute care?

    SilverBells replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    From what it sounds like, your performance was up to standards in the past if you were getting compliments on your job before. It also seems as if maybe your current position isn't as fulfilling or...

    Out of My Element Again

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I am reluctant to step back from my manager role right now, but I need to think about why that actually is. In other words, is it because I actually like the job, or is it for some other...

    Is $43 an hour in North California as a new grad a fair pay?

    SilverBells replied to Friendly VU studenf's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm from the Midwest and $43/hr sounds like great pay. Nurses at my facility don't make nearly that much even after years of experience. Even at the local hospital, a nurse has to be working there...

    OK, what are you supposed to be doing instead of being in here?

    SilverBells replied to JBudd's topic in General Nursing

    Being unmotivated to write learning objectives is something I can relate to. For 6 out of 8 of my own MSN classes, I had to write them myself. The assignment itself wasn't very challenging, but...
