  1. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    squeakykitty replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    sounds like she was falsifying the charts, and she was getting defensive that someone would catch on. i hope she got reported to the bon in delaware....

    squeakykitty replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    One night I dreamed that my bedroom was in the DONs office, and I woke up to hear one of my residents yelling and I said I'll be in to help you when I get out of bed. That was the last time I ever...

  3. Survey is coming!!!!!!

    squeakykitty replied to wooosp's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    the ltc i work at had a survey, and it seemed like the staff was crawling out of the woodwork doing resident care. about a month before that, the don was helping pass lunch trays, and we weren't that...

    squeakykitty replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

  6. Things you wish you could say to your co-workers...

    squeakykitty replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How about charting the meals accurately! I picked up a residents tray, and I know you didn't look at it because that resident didn't eat even near the amount you charted she did. Sorta makes me wonder...

  8. Things you wish you could say to your co-workers...

    squeakykitty replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The charge nurses at the facility where I worked also got bent out of shape, and threatened to write people up right and left if they didn't start charting them. I don't blame them. The resident who...

  9. Things you wish you could say to your co-workers...

    squeakykitty replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How about charting the BM on the residents so I don't end up cleaning up a resident who had a gallon of diarrhea on themselves and their bed, after the nurse had to give them a laxative, because no...

  10. Resident's rights

    squeakykitty replied to remched's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You did the right thing--and NO, you can't just turn the other way. No one should when a resident is being abused, and this sounds like a case of resident abuse. I wonder how she's treating the people...

  14. Do experienced nurses really eat their young?

    squeakykitty replied to whit717's topic in General Nursing

    squeakykitty replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just a little message to those who talk about your sex life at work--- There are 2 types of people in your listening audience. 1. The majority who don't care to hear it. 2. The few who are...

  16. Things you wish you could say to your co-workers...

    squeakykitty replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hate the huffing and sighing thing myself. As for people getting into my food---I would make this "special" sandwich--with a lot of habenero peppers. Those will take a layer of skin off the tongue....

  17. About state surveys

    squeakykitty replied to myrlpie's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One day I saw the DON on the floor passing trays, and we weren't behind. Hmmmmm. I thought at the time that someone from the state was there. This was about a month before the official

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

    It's not from sitting, it's the beginning of skin breakdown. (diaper rash) It does need a barrier cream, after soap and water cleansing each time a resident is incontinent. I hope this

  20. "The Victim" and the "Big Ole Meanie who Made Her Cry"

    squeakykitty replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I personally prefer to deal with people who are direct. It makes things a lot easier. I don't like dealing with passive-aggresive people who expect others to be able to read minds, and get mad that...

  21. lost panties

    squeakykitty replied to nrsbetrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They could be in her roomates drawer. The laundry dpt. where I worked would get the residents clothes mixed up all the time. Also, we had a resident who would "rummage" in other peoples drawers and...

    squeakykitty replied to mslinzyann's topic in General Nursing
