   sleepwalker - This post hasn't gotten me many replies. I thought it would ! I wanted to clarify one thing :the role I have is in assisted living/personal care home not skilled or nursing home. With that said, I'm still hanging in there. The sta...

2. Grad Nurse LPN job offer in SNF

   LuvNursing84 replied to Jade Nicole's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hi ! This post is a year old but I think when you see SNF it's probably the rehab wing of a LTC. There's no way that in a nursing home with long term residents the nurse would only have 11 residents to pass meds etc to. At least in PA !!

3. New Wellness Director

   LuvNursing84 replied to LuvNursing84's topic in LTC Directors

   Sleepwalker I feel that way at times trust me. I've been doing it since late Summer. Please elaborate. I've been cleaning up charts, getting POLST forms for all residents with code status, etc. The last survey (which I was there for as the nurse...

4. New Wellness Director

   LuvNursing84 posted a topic in LTC Directors

   Hello... Ling one grab the popcorn! I have not been a nurse very long, just three years. The opportunity fell into my lap last fall to become the director in an AL/memory care. The former director just did not pan out. I'm not sure exactly why...

5. Assisted Living really much different than LTC??

   LuvNursing84 posted a topic in Geriatric

   Hi all. This has probably been covered but bear with me :) I have worked in ALFs as a CNA/med aide before . I've recently moved from nursing home to assisted living as a LPN. Is it me or have they become VERY similar? It seems the ...

6. CNA's Are Tired Of Laziness

   LuvNursing84 replied to mlmckenzie's topic in LPN/LVN

   You are right. Nurses need to help with the care of their residents. I work in a place where the aids aren't responsible for vitals . The nurses get their own vitals. I personally toilet, answer lights, get ice water, pass nourishments and snacks, an...

7. CNAs running the building??!!

   LuvNursing84 replied to LuvNursing84's topic in LPN/LVN

   I completely agree mlmckenzie . I think at this point LTC needs a total revamp of what's going on in these buildings. It's terrible that residents have to wait or not be cares for properly because some CNAs and nurses don't want to go out of their wa...

8. CNAs running the building??!!

   LuvNursing84 replied to LuvNursing84's topic in LPN/LVN

   As I said I was a CNA for 10+ years before becoming an LPN. If some nurses don't realize the patients are theirs, they are wrong. Please read the post again..

   path0gems that's great! You'll have to post on the NCLEX RN !

10. CNAs running the building??!!

    LuvNursing84 replied to LuvNursing84's topic in LPN/LVN

    You all are so right..it makes us LPNs feel like we are pointless! I'm sorry I know I'm not able to tell the RNs what to do and what I'm not going to do. But for the sake of the residents I just try to brush off the egos but when I see a wrong I feel...

11. CNAs running the building??!!

    LuvNursing84 posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    This is a rant- Before I get anyone upset - I was a CNA for almost ten years before becoming a LPN. What I'm noticing is it seems as if the majority of ltcs, the aides run things. I don't know about you all, but I don't remember it being this ...

12. How much experience for unit manager?

    LuvNursing84 posted a topic in Career Support

    Hi all! How much experience do you all think an LPN should have in LTC/nursing home to be unit managers? Most job postings require RN but I be have seen ads for LPN/RN. Also, for any current unit managers, what's your day to day responsibilities. ...
