    SuesquatchRN replied to AmandaS<3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am not a CNA, but I can tell you I value the good aides on my unit more than I could ever express. They are my eyes and ears, the closest to the residents, always the first to alert me to a...

    New nurses in Management

    SuesquatchRN replied to tridil2000's topic in Nurse Management

    In my environment, yes. Medically underserved area, LTC. She's actually one of the best nurses in the facility. Lots of burn-outs, those who don't care, task-oriented automatons. Unlike most of...

    How many deficiencies does your facility have?

    SuesquatchRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    SuesquatchRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't understand. They noted the problem, continued to monitor, and sent him out. What is missing to your surveyor's eye? Seriously, no snark, what should have been documented? As to talking to...
