  1. "Granny-Dumping" in Psyche Unit

    Town & Country replied to Town & Country's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is what happened ~ we got a little old lady from a NH; she wasn't even demented. She was sharp as a tack. Evidently, she had been upset about her family's lack of attention at the NH. Seems...

  2. Worried that experienced nurse may know nothing

    Town & Country replied to krob0729's topic in General Nursing

    Kind of wondering about the attitude the OP has, also. Maybe instead of labeling the new nurse "psycho-nurse out to kill the kids", you could try giving her tips, methods you use in med pass that...

  3. Being falsely accused of neglect/abuse

    Town & Country replied to elthia's topic in General Nursing

    JMO but if I were you I'd start job-hunting ASAP. The customer is always right, you know.....it's the world we live in. Doesn't matter that you really didn't "do" anything.....one angry, irrational...

  4. Worried that experienced nurse may know nothing

    Town & Country replied to krob0729's topic in General Nursing

    I think there is more to this story than is being said here.... It sounds like perhaps this RN resents being "oriented" by a new LVN and wants to do things "her own way"...... Isn't there an RN...

  5. No Overtime Pay after Forty Hours

    Town & Country posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was told that I would not be paid overtime for the "probationary period" (first 3 months)....I thought it was law that, if you work over 40 hours, you get time and a half past 40. Anyone

  6. Takedowns and Security Training?

    Town & Country replied to Town & Country's topic in Psychiatric

    Will SOMEONE answer,

  7. To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    Town & Country replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

    I really hate that sort of environment. I would probably look for another job and VERY SOON if things didn't change......... I would talk to the Unit Mgr. about it first and tell her your

  8. I'm drowning...advice please!

    Town & Country replied to DYatesRN's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of things. MISTAKE ~ get all the orientation they offer. Taking you off orientation 3 weeks early sounds very unusual to me, and it's not for YOUR benefit, it's for THEIRS. You basically...

  9. Charlotte Hungerford Hospital - NEED INFO!

    Town & Country posted a topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I am in negotiations with this hospital in CT. They are offering the salary of $26/hr (I have six years experience as a RN), with shift differential of $3.00/hr through the week. Five eight-hour...

  10. stupid question

    Town & Country replied to meaton1421's topic in Travel

    I think she is meaning that, to be considered for travel nursing a person has to have at least a year of

  11. What do you think???

    Town & Country replied to galaxy781's topic in General Nursing

    JMO, but I would prefer a nurse who could understand me. I would be uncomfortable if I were being taken care of by a nurse who could not communicate effectively in

  12. Venting...Hosp pts coming from skilled nursing facilities

    Town & Country replied to stidget99's topic in General Nursing

    That link about worldwidewounds doesn't

  13. Lawsuit?

    Town & Country replied to LearningRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I wouldn't worry about a lawsuit, no. There was no harm done, so there's no case

  14. This is the stupidest thing I have ever done.

    Town & Country replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    Props to YOU, then, Chad. Yes, it is very common practice.....I do my med pass sailing along the hall atop a linen

  15. This is the stupidest thing I have ever done.

    Town & Country replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    If the "stupidest thing he has ever done" is to break a linen cart, I'd say he has nothing to worry

  16. This is the stupidest thing I have ever done.

    Town & Country replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the nurse he was working with apparently didn't have a problem with him.

  17. This is the stupidest thing I have ever done.

    Town & Country replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like alot of fun, I'd like working with you!!!

  18. Legal question about my mistake...

    Town & Country replied to LearningRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I would not inform the family of a "harmless" med error. In today's sue-happy world, that's all the ammo they need. It's one thing to take responsibility. It's another to crucify oneself and invite a...

  19. Should a new nurse graduate specialize?

    Town & Country replied to trixie girl's topic in General Nursing

    I would work on the floor for at least a

  20. Traumatized by nursing - advice needed

    Town & Country replied to kcsun3's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post, llg.

  21. why are cna's treated like they are stupid and replaceable?

    Town & Country replied to Purple Princess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The link you posted includes info that a cna must have additional training to become a Nurse Aide II, and do to trach care, etc. I haven't ever worked with Nurse Aides II, but the BON link you...

  22. What is so darned difficult about oral care?

    Town & Country replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Kudos to a couple of obviously GREAT CNAs!!! LOL, love it!!!

  23. why are cna's treated like they are stupid and replaceable?

    Town & Country replied to Purple Princess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The first link didn't work, and the second was for PROPOSED changes. I didn't say that there are not Medication Aides, or Med Techs. This is NOT the same thing as a CNA. You said yourself it is a...

  24. Difficult questions from job interview

    Town & Country replied to Snowwhite's topic in Nursing Career

    I used to hate those sort of questions, too, but I realized later that they're very good opportunities to sell yourself. This is where you sell yourself, present yourself, to your potential employer....

  25. Adequate orientation

    Town & Country replied to Joeknee's topic in General Nursing

    Do not accept this; it is ridiculous,
