    Do Not Send to Hospital From Nursing Home

    dream'n replied to toughjob,nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes you did the right thing. To leave a patient suffering in pain for hours would be horribly wrong and inhumane Since I don't know all the facts, I'll withhold judgement on your DON...but I wonder...

    dream'n replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    O.k., I'm going to speak to you from my heart so hopefully my experience will give you something to think over. I have been like you in some ways. I worked in a horribly dysfunctional, toxic,...

    dream'n replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No smoke blowing, I'll give it to you straight. I'm a crier, even commercials can send me on a boo-hoo, so I understand another one. Yes, as a professional it is best to keep it "all together" and...

    dream'n replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't have any fresh ideas but just have to say this economy is really ticking me off Nursing has always been difficult with some employers abusing and taking advantage of their nurses, but with...

    dream'n replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No need to make friends, but a little understanding of people could help. A new grad in her first job being treated like total poop?? Don't blame her for crying, sounds like she's been thrown to the...

    Delegation in an LTC setting

    dream'n replied to WorkinMama's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've been out of LTC for 13 years, but it seems like some things never change. Honestly without administration behind you all the write-ups in the world won't help. The CNA job is too hard and too...

    No code changed to Full code

    dream'n replied to yooperPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm confused also. The family wasn't able to get to the courthouse in several months?? Anyway, if he is a full code than you must run a code. Kinda sounds like the Dr. and DON should have had this...

    Just when you thought you'd heard it all

    dream'n replied to mizfradd's topic in General Nursing

    The varicella vaccine is SQ. I am not anti-vaccination by any stretch of the imagination, but I do not care for the varicella vaccine. Immunity is generally life-long if one gets the chicken pox,...

    Just when you thought you'd heard it all

    dream'n replied to mizfradd's topic in General Nursing

    Acquiring the chicken pox generally produces life-long immunity, whereas the immunity with the vaccine tends to wane over

    What is your take on multiple family members in room when they have roommate?

    dream'n replied to hollyberry678's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When the culture of the patient in bed A infringes on the rights of bed B to rest, healing, and nursing access; that is where the line is

    What has been your worst nightmare about work?

    dream'n replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Strange how the 'forgotten patient' seems to be such a common theme for nurses. I've had the exact same nightmare. More recently though, I spend the nightmare running around in some hospital I've...

    Medication Aide

    dream'n replied to ohiocleveland's topic in General Nursing

    That's fine, BUT is it true that they work under the nurses license? If so, that's the deal breaker; no ands, ifs, or buts. NO ONE works under my license but me, don't care who ya

    hard time dealing with the nurse who is orienting me

    dream'n replied to clgannon's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post and excellent book. I picked up a copy about a year ago on a recommendation. The book is not oriented to nursing, but female bullying in general. It was one of the most enlightening...

    Question For Ya!!!

    dream'n replied to BBRANRN2013's topic in General Nursing

    My worth. Take the ER job. Sure the rehab is hands-on, but honestly I don't think tech experience (vital signs, making beds, etc) will really help you land a new grad RN position especially in this...

    A vent thread for patients- what can we do better?

    dream'n replied to canoehead's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do not like this thread and was trying to figure out exactly why when I read the above. That is how I feel about this...nurses bashing other nurses and health professionals. Great way to lift up...

    At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    dream'n replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Perhaps this is one little part of the whole 'lack of respect for the profession of nursing'; and it upsets me that some LPNs/RNs do not consider it a real problem that anyone in scrubs "is a nurse."...

    Possible termination for HIPAA violations

    dream'n replied to Magnolia619's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    So glad you were not terminated and it sounds as if your employer truly values you as an employee. Take a deep breath and give yourself a little lovin' care

    Medical Assistants the new RNs???

    dream'n replied to ayorenee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I agree that every individual's skill/knowledge set is different. BUT a big difference is that LPNs and RNs take a national licensure exam to determine that they have a minimum level of...

    Pet Rat Visiting - Nurses Creeped Out!

    dream'n replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I felt the same as the OP before my daughter got 3 rats for her birthday. They are the smartest, sweetest little guys you could ever imagine. Whenever I come in her room they run to the cage door...

    If you won the lottery would you still work in health care?

    dream'n replied to nola1202's topic in General Nursing

    A very definite NO! I would take classes just for the fun of learning, travel, volunteer, spend time with family/friends, develop other interests, and engage myself in hobbies. I sure wouldn't still...
