  1. Problems with CNAs and Jeopardizing Nursing License

    squeakykitty replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    That is a very good idea, especially with the BP meds. A CNA can make up the vitals, if they are lazy and have no conscience, and that could turn out very

  2. Turnover

    squeakykitty replied to michael79's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That isn't right at all. I wonder how they find out the state is coming? I don't think they should know the state is coming until they see the surveyor come through the front door. At the place I...

  3. Demented Residents & Funny Comments

    squeakykitty replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have a couple that are cute. 1. I was helping this married couple get up in the morning, and the wife asked her husband if he had any money. He said he didn't and the wife said "I guess I'll have...

  4. Turnover

    squeakykitty replied to michael79's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    :spbox:I bet the state would love to hear about the place. Any CNA who is lazy is neglecting residents somewhere. And having no crash cart? The owner probably couldn't afford one because he had to...

  5. Nurses digging in laundry barrells???

    squeakykitty replied to catlynLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I was a CNA, I had to go digging in a barrel in the shower room. It was because the room smelled like a barnyard, and the smell was coming from the barrel. One of my co-workers had put a...

  6. Problem w/RN's & CT's on clinical day

    squeakykitty replied to Corsair41's topic in Male Nursing Students

    A part of nursing is the A.M. care, and it is a good way to do a skin assessment. No one should feel that they are above bedpan duties. Sometimes, the hospital has no CNAs, or if they do, they may be...

  7. Someone saying that they are a LVN when they are not!

    squeakykitty replied to jetta1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would definately be doing a lot of documenting on everything so that she doesn't get you into trouble. I don't know why she feels she has to lie about things like

  8. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    squeakykitty replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This could be why he's insecure. Has he made any inapropriate

  9. This is why ERs are used as PCPs

    squeakykitty replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    That isn't right!:spbox: They should at least see the pt. if the problem is serious enough. The clinic I use will see pts. without

  10. Suggestions for improvement

    squeakykitty replied to medichall's topic in Emergency

    It could be that more staff is needed on the floor, and she's trying to do things the right way. Is she having to work through

  11. Should I rock the boat??

    squeakykitty replied to anggelRN's topic in General Nursing

    Can you talk to the instructor? It sounds like she could possibly be causing the nursing school future problems due to not being asked back to the hospital. Since you're documenting, that is a good...

  12. Rant!!! Someone's using my name!

    squeakykitty replied to GadgetRN71's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad there was an incident report. I don't trust people who lie to make

  13. Am I right that these things scare me enough to quit.`

    squeakykitty replied to OldMareLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would think that this means that you would be an excellent LTC

  14. Problems with CNAs and Jeopardizing Nursing License

    squeakykitty replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    If I got called the "B" word for doing the right thing, I would take it as a compliment. Why should I care about the opinion of someone who doesn't want to do the right

  15. "I want him extubated NOW...I dont care if he's not ready"

    squeakykitty replied to jbp0529's topic in General Nursing

    I predict that if one of the floor nurses is a member here, there will be another thread about this

  16. "I want him extubated NOW...I dont care if he's not ready"

    squeakykitty replied to jbp0529's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with idea of a sitter. A big huge built like a linebacker one. I disagree with TiredMD because this woman is going beyond demanding and she is acting irrationally to the point she may...

  17. "I want him extubated NOW...I dont care if he's not ready"

    squeakykitty replied to jbp0529's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it would make a difference, since I'm sure that lady has had a LOT of teaching that she obviously didn't listen to. It's too bad she had to be the POA, since she is a dangerous

  18. Problems with CNAs and Jeopardizing Nursing License

    squeakykitty replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    They can, at least in California. I thought is was federal law that they have to have training and be certified to work as a

  19. Problems with CNAs and Jeopardizing Nursing License

    squeakykitty replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    I always thought that aides were required to be certified. Maybe the state of PA is

  20. Parent Pet Peeves

    squeakykitty replied to ICRN2008's topic in Pediatric

    My mom told me about some parents allowing their kids to hit and kick others in the shin. I think if that ever happened to me, I would go into 100% drama queen mode that would put a drug-seeker to...

  21. "I want him extubated NOW...I dont care if he's not ready"

    squeakykitty replied to jbp0529's topic in General Nursing

    Good idea, especially if it's someone with a mean look and built like a

  22. Why do people abuse nurses?

    squeakykitty replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Yeeeeeeeee--hhaaahhh!!!!! :bowingpur:yeah: Way to go, miko014. Too bad the Press-Ganey people aren't forced to do triage in the

  23. Why do people abuse nurses?

    squeakykitty replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Pepper spray, tazer, handcuffs-----too bad nurses can't carry

  24. Her perfume stinks!!

    squeakykitty replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    If you get nauseated enough, she could get projectile doused with something else. Maybe that would get the message

  25. Problems with CNAs and Jeopardizing Nursing License

    squeakykitty replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    With CNAs like this, and managers who don't care, go up the chain of command. those CNAs can be reported to the state for neglect, and they should be before they harm
