  3. Again....lazy workers

    squeakykitty replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    This is scary. Do you have any family members or coworker friends that can be with you in the

  4. Again....lazy workers

    squeakykitty replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    What this nurse (and the aides you mentioned in another thread) are doing is neglect when she ignores call bells and doesn't help her pts. The only thing I can think of is to document everything on...

  6. Survey begins

    squeakykitty replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No bragging here. I worked at a decent place, but I did hear somewhere else about the facilities getting enough warning to hide stuff, so that they didn't get

  7. Doctors' Chart Bloopers

    squeakykitty replied to Brian's topic in Nursing Humor

  8. lazy mean assistants

    squeakykitty replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome. And thank you for your post.I posted this because it does bother me that people could be quitting without doing anything about the situation they leave behind. As far as the CNA...

  9. lazy mean assistants

    squeakykitty replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    This morning I woke up, got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and wiped when I was through---independently. I showered, dressed, and fed my cats---independently. I made coffee, breakfast, and ate and...

  10. NO Nursing home for me

    squeakykitty replied to nurz2be's topic in Nursing Humor

    I love this one!! And you don't have a roomate. Now if cruise ships would allow a person to take their cat/cats, I'd be all set. :redbeathe...

  11. Oddest things found in a patient!

    squeakykitty replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think he's going to get the job, but I'd sure like to be a fly on the wall for that

  12. hostile ex-mother-in law being admitted

    squeakykitty replied to llisdog's topic in General Nursing

    I may be late in replying but avoid her if possible, keep a journal of incidents, document everything, and possibly have 2 people in the room at all times for care. She could cause trouble for any of...

    squeakykitty replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    I saw the other thread. The nurse she was talking about verbally abused elderly patients for incontinence and needing the

  14. Ugh---I have to fire an employee tomorrow.

    squeakykitty replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Sometimes, you have to fire someone after you've tried everything else, and nothing changes with the employee. I don't think it's ever really easy most of the time. (Of course, some of the workers...

  15. lazy co-workers

    squeakykitty replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    That assistant and any lazy one needs a write up. I hate it when people have no teamwork. Maybe there could be an inservice about it. And talk to the DON if they refuse to help after you have asked...

  16. Incident report- retaliation

    squeakykitty replied to ICRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    It might be a good idea to write down everything about your interactions with her, and what you did during your shift in case she tries to lie or sabotage you. And check back on your patients...

  17. Crazy stuff can happen

    squeakykitty replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    Something like this happened to me and a coworker. We put this resident on the commode in the shower room and she had to pee a lot. The bucket under her had a crack around the lip, and when I leaned...

  19. cna's who don't do their job

    squeakykitty replied to LanaBanana's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This one has issues that should go up the chain of command. Is she still a nursing student? (I hope

  20. Coworker was fired yesterday.

    squeakykitty replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I know this thread is 4 years old, but I just found it, and had to say: I sincerely hope this person is not a nurse or any type of caregiver today. Stress, bad mood or frustration is absolutely no...

  21. Feeding and toileting

    squeakykitty replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would think that leaving someone in a mess during a meal would be neglect. I wonder...............would the state people like sitting in urine or feces themselves while eating? I'm sure they get...

  22. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    squeakykitty replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    Last time I looked, the drugstore is still selling laxatives, and they can be found at the dollar store. They ought to send him a

  23. What Would You Love to Find in the Break Room?

    squeakykitty replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    I drink a lot of coffee, too. People have said my coffee was strong enough to peel paint, and strong enough to climb out of the cup and walk. This last came from someone who made really weak

  24. "Did you report her?"

    squeakykitty replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did this get reported up the chain of command as far as possible? One thing that does bother me is the possibility that someone could just quit a bad facility with neglect/abuse/safety issues and not...
