  2. Open Visitation in the ICU -- Any Fans?

    squeakykitty replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I would have said the same thing, but in a certain tone of voice, with an extremely dirty look on my face. She had a lot of

  3. Open Visitation in the ICU -- Any Fans?

  4. Nightmare Families and Hospital protocols

    squeakykitty replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I think every nurse in the country should write a letter to the editor about how difficult it is to take care of pts. because of having to deal with demanding selfish entitled families....

    squeakykitty replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    squeakykitty replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the only pet peeve I can think of is: Selfish

  10. I need help managing a very difficult resident!

    squeakykitty replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't blame the family for not visiting. It's a pity no one can tell her that there are only so many nurses in her area, and if she keeps this up, she'll run out of willing caregivers. Too bad she...

  12. Nails

    squeakykitty replied to michael79's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The LTC I worked at had the same policy. I never let my nails get to 1/4" because one time I did and I accidently gouged myself on the forehead. I didn't want to do that to a resident by

  13. Co-worker being negligent and nothing is being done!

    squeakykitty replied to preciousbaby621's topic in General Nursing

    I think that if you do quit, the doctor should know in great detail exactly why you quit. After that, if he does nothing----well, it's his

  14. So Who Runs Your Floor, You or the Aides?

    squeakykitty replied to bollweevil's topic in General Nursing

    Bollwevil I sure hope she got a good long write up. And I hope management backs you up. If she doesn't want to do her job, then she shouldn't be there. And there could be some pt. neglect issues going...

  15. Frustrating Meeting Re: Call Lights

    squeakykitty replied to RNDave's topic in Nurse Management

    I hope the issues get resolved. I worked at a LTC that had a high employee turnover that I think was due to the lack of teamwork and short staffing. From what I've read elsewhere on Allnurses,...

  18. Frustrating Meeting Re: Call Lights

    squeakykitty replied to RNDave's topic in Nurse Management

    I don't know what to say, since I'm not there and don't know enough about the situation. I only have some questions though. Is there enough staff to answer them? What kind of work ethic does the...

  19. how would you react to this

    squeakykitty replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on what the aide was doing at the moment. Was she dealing with another resident at the time who needed help? I have asked a charge nurse to help me with a 2 person transfer a...

  24. incontinence question

    squeakykitty replied to someguygoblue32's topic in General Nursing

    It may be leaking out the sides, especially if you are laying on your side. Also, if you are having problems with the aides not showing up, can you report them to the home health agency, or switch...

  25. Things You Wish You Could Tell Managers that Love to Short Staff

    squeakykitty replied to Martinette's topic in General Nursing
