  1. teamwork vent

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    I never heard anything from anyone about this during orientation or otherwise at this facility. I think I'll ask one of the supervisors when I see her next. I noticed there was only one person doing...

  2. teamwork vent

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know much about that, but I would have talked with my supervisor and asked about this before I would have went ahead and used the Hoyer. Otherwise, I would have had to leave the resident in...

  3. teamwork vent

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    I did that the day before on a transfer, after I asked all three of the CNA's. After I quit, I thought, well why not use the Hoyer for the transfers I wasn't getting help on:devil:. It takes time to...

  4. Have You Ever Been Told You're Too Slow?

    squeakykitty replied to buildingmyfaith57's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have been told I was too slow. I've never been written up for it though. I think teamwork or the lack of can make a difference, but that's going to be another thread that I'm starting

  5. scope of practice issues for CNA'S/LVN'S

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    That's in the LVN scope of practice in CA, not in the CNA's. Writing down the facts, what people said, why you didn't do it, etc. is a good idea. And go up the chain of command, all the way up to...

  6. That ain't my resident! I am dumbfounded...

    squeakykitty replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, accidently posted

  7. That ain't my resident! I am dumbfounded...

    squeakykitty replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more. If there's too many residents for a CNA to take care of, not everything gets done that needs to get

  8. Main Problem In The Nursing Field?

    squeakykitty replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a student, but I think the main problem would be nurse to patient staffing ratio's and the CNA to patient/resident staffing

  9. scope of practice issues for CNA'S/LVN'S

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true. Once, I had a resident who was a Hoyer transfer, who needed to be bathed in the tub instead of the shower, so I asked, and got help on how to go about getting her in the tub. I...

  10. Nursing without the "yukkies".

    squeakykitty replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    there is a thread on this website called what is your most gross, yucky, disgusting nursing horror

  12. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    squeakykitty replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    I think she made it through her training by neglecting the people who needed help with toileting. It sounds like she needs to find another profession, because puke and poop is something that every...

  13. scope of practice issues for CNA'S/LVN'S

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. The regulations are different in different states. And the regulations about what a CNA can and can't do should be followed. The regulations are there for patient

  14. scope of practice issues for CNA'S/LVN'S

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I never thought of that. And if things hit the fan, they probably would send you up the river to try to cover their butts, but I think the facility could still get

  15. Nursing without the "yukkies".

    squeakykitty replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle That is sooo

  16. scope of practice issues for CNA'S/LVN'S

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    In California, CNA's can't do meds at all, not even putting Ben-Gay on anyones sore muscles. I think the same way, that nurse should have been written up, not the CNA. I did suggest maybe going to...

  17. Put on your fantasy hat!

    squeakykitty replied to Spring_Peeper's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A LTC that allows the residents to keep their animals with them, and plenty of kind caring compassionate staff, so that they get really good care. (Such as only 5-6 residents per

  18. Need Help!!!

    squeakykitty replied to Indiana_Rn's topic in General Nursing

    :icon_hug: Your post sounds so much like what I'm going through. I struggle in clinicals, yet I get A,s in the theory classes. Recently, I got diagnosed with ADD. It may be that's what is going on...

  19. Pet peeves!

    squeakykitty replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    What about teamwork, or the lack of? I hate it when I couldn't find someone to help me with a 2 person transfer in the LTC, because none of them were willing to take 2 minutes out of their...

  20. Nurse charting inaccurate vital signs...please help

    squeakykitty replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that if she's not charting the meals accurately, she may not be charting the vitals accurately,

  21. Nurse charting inaccurate vital signs...please help

    squeakykitty replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you should keep watching, document what you see, before reporting it. Also, document your own work and cover your ass, just in case she lies about you to get you in

  22. want to help out a friend BUT.....

    squeakykitty replied to hhrhrn41's topic in General Nursing

  23. Pet peeves!

    squeakykitty replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    My pet peeve was when I was a CNA in a LTC working the 7-3 shift, the other two shifts didn't record the BM's for a week for the residents I had, so the residents were getting laxatives, and I ended...

  24. Please assess your patient well!

    squeakykitty replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a first year nursing student, but it seems to me that these problems should have been caught, and reported, and the new admit should have been assessed, not left for the next shift for four hours....

  25. The most embarrasing thing you've done at work!

    squeakykitty replied to ClaireMacl's topic in Nursing Humor
