  1. RNs entering all their own orders - no unit clerks?

    Town & Country posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I got floated to a different unit and the RNs there entered their own orders. After "X o'clock", there was no unit clerk - but they still took admissions. Is this at all common? Or did I get sent...

  3. showers on nightshift and time for residents to get up in the morning?

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

    So true. I also heartily agree with the previous poster who asked, WHY are things arranged for the convenience of the staff? The residents are the ones who matter! Plan care according to their...

  5. "Proper" staffing for subacute unit?

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

    I just reread my post and let me clarify: it's one RN for the unit, one LPN for the unit, and one aide per hall. There are two halls (plus I think the locked unit?) there. They said the LPN would...

  9. Was Boss passing the buck?

    Town & Country replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

    The NM and the supervisor were both passing the buck. Ideally, the Supervisor (since she was there), should have taken control, gone into the patient's room with either you or the NM as witnesses....

  10. Patients always needing something no matter what.

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

    The original poster isn't angry or condescending, you are. Have you forgotten you admitted on the first page of this thread that this subject hit a nerve with you? Stop attacking. The original poster...

  11. Internet Porn at work-need advice

    Town & Country replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

  15. How would you handle this patient.

    Town & Country replied to mjscan_07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where was your charge nurse when all this was going on? The charge nurse should have stepped in and handled this patient after you'd exhausted yourself and your

  16. Nursing Assistants Responsibilities-I Need Help!!

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

    I understand where you are coming from, but once you're in the room, you probably should have put her on the bedpan. It's very CHALLENGING (to say the least) having to deal with situations like...

  17. I'm falling for my PRECEPTOR

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

    Some people have these sort of feelings because of stress. I'm thinking that perhaps this might be the reason the original poster is feeling this way.....it's a

  18. Patient and RN relationship?

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

    Too bad all patients aren't like that. LOL I realize some people aren't comfortable with physical contact but I'm not one of them.....I'm touchy-feely (as long as it's appropriate!) I'd love to...

  19. Patients always needing something no matter what.

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

    Waitresses would be good. Good CNAs would help, too. I love it when I take meds into a patient's room and have to fill their water pitcher, fetch a blanket.....sigh. I don't mind doing it....but what...

  20. I think I'm in big trouble

    Town & Country replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    Preach it. What they did after she refused to take the keys isn't her responsibility. She offered to work as a CNA. Maybe this is the first time any nurse has refused to take the keys....sounds...

  21. RNs entering all their own orders - no unit clerks?

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

    Primary care = working on your own. No nurse

  23. Got an interview at UMC. Any tips and info?

    Town & Country replied to owura143's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I said that because there is so much to learn when you get out of nursing school. Primary care wouldn't be the best situation for a new grad. Primary care should only be done by experienced nurses...

  24. Got an interview at UMC. Any tips and info?

    Town & Country replied to owura143's topic in Arizona Nursing

    UMC does what they call "primary care", which, for a new grad, wouldn't be very good IMHO. I've heard some very unfavorable things about that

  25. Message from a CNA

    Town & Country replied to aspentree13's topic in General Nursing

    NEWSFLASH: I followed after my CNA the other night to make sure pts. were taken care of, found a total care pt. lying in her own feces. I did the wiping, thank you very much, while the CNA held the...
