Don't ever, ever apologize for being an LPN. I was an LPN for 9 years. I learned more in those 9 years than i could have ever learned in ANY school. I worked in a skilled facility with g-tubes, trachs, IVs, you name it we had it. I decided to go to...

As a former Director of Nursing and nurse manager. I totally agree with Ann

My class was the last class to actually "sit and write" boards in Indiana before everything went computerized (i believe) 1993 I was scared to death that we would be the first class to sit for computer boards-I was scared to death of the "c" word (co...

Diagnosis: FOP=full of poop

RUN DONT WALK to your Director of Nursing Services and GET a policy on this. When the State walks in they won't care what she was doing at home they want YOUR facility policy. There must be a policy for ALL procedures. IMO a pt should not have bee...

I too believe there is a safety factor and a "law" that one side of the hall has to be accessible at all times in case of emergency IE not putting items (linen carts) etc on both sides of the hall.

check your policy and procedure manual. an "old" trach shouldnt be treated any differently than a fresh trach as far as sterility is concerned in a ltc facility. a lot of people who have "old" trachs that have been home and caring for their own tra...
