  1. Is this Abuse!?

    I am wondering how do you know she keeps applying every yr. And I don't understand what you mean by she gets rejected for another incident. Since she is not working as a nurse there shouldn't be anymore incidents. Unless you mean they just bring up a...
  2. Andrea Yates Psych MR Online - HIPAA Violation?

    I wouldn't waste my time worrying about Rusty's feelings as the man doesn't seem to have any. He knew he shouldn't have anymore kids and just went on his merry way. I don't think what happened was that much of a surprise to him and I don't think he i...
  3. RN job in jeopardy please help

    Wow way to go CA. they must have all of the nurses they need and then some. Seriously tho how in the world can they afford to be so strict.
  4. New!!!

    I am not real sure but I think it has something to do with being able to refuse to work certain areas because of the possible danger. Like in home health there may be certain places that are considered unsafe neighborhoods and you as a woman would no...
  5. Stop #@$%!* Thief!!!

    I'm so exasperated right now I could scream! But I'm going to keep nagging, and if he STILL doesn't do it, I'm going to go over his head and talk to the VP of operations. I don't really want to do this, because we get along great and I have no desire...
  6. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

  7. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    Sorry. All I meant by that is if they get into trouble then somebody had to have said something. This subject sure stirred up a lot of emotions. And the person who started it already said they did it for some research paper they were doing and not be...
  8. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    Well my dear if you are trying to impress someone with your wonderful nursing skills I hope you succeded. And I wish you would learn to read better. I never said I was the worst thing since caps. Geez, I said some of you seem to think I am. You are a...

  10. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    I see what you guys mean about the posts be attributed to the wrong person. I am being quoted as saying something Imaldo quoted. I am so sorry some of you think I am just the wrost thing to come to nursing since the cap but I am only being honest. Pl...
  11. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    Correct delioso. In the twelve yrs. I have yet to have a problem. A lot of the times residents[not pt.] don't really need all of that junk. But, since the family or the resident themselves seem to think there is a pill for just about any ailment they...
  12. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    Well if I documented it then don't be concerned because I always document what I am supposed to do. And you are sortof--kindof right about your last concern. Although I never do the bare min. I always try to cover my behind.
  13. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    My goodness where on earth do I say I couldn't handel a Blood Pressure cuff? I plainly stated that the equipment in the nursing home is no good. Geez. And yes I meant what I said about doing assessments and all of that. Never had any problem tho. May...
  14. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    Nope you never saw where I said anything about giving a med to a CNA. Better go back and look again. I have said all along I wouldn't do that no matter what. What is so difficult to understand? I think I made myself quite clear. Documenting don't mea...
  15. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    I guess that is the difference in me and you. I would never be tempted to ask anyone to help me that was not considered qualified. I would have done and have done exactly what the other nurse did. Someone has to work in the nursing home. So I do the ...
  16. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    Thanks but I have no business being in acute care. I am right where I should be. At least I have become proficient in knowing what is going on with residents in nursing homes. No matter where I go the problems are the same. Only the faces change. I t...
  17. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    thanks for the laugh. I really needed it. I think a good sense of humor is just what the Dr. ordered.
  18. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    Very funny. But sorry I don't agree with you. The stuff you have in the hospital makes a big difference. ANd no I don't take a blood pressure everytime I give clonidine. Do you think the equipment in the nursing home is accurate? It is not. Do you th...

  20. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    In life there are never any guarentees. I can't go around worrying about everything when working in a nursing home. I do the best I can and take care of what can get me in trouble first and foremost. Hate having to be that way but there just is no ot...
  21. Sun Healthcare Group of Irvine

    If you are talking about Trisun then lots of luck. I have heard nothing good. All bad. They love suspending you. This little tid bit from someone who has been at the same facility for 18yrs. They remind me for all the world of Texas Health Ent. They ...
  22. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    I don't see how anything could come up missing if I keep the keys. The whole thing is just stupid anyway. My point was I wouldn't be so much concerned with whether or not a resident got the med as I would someone reporting me for letting the CNA help...
  23. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    Of course you wouldn't know. Same with anything else. All I was getting at was I don't think narcs are anymore important. YOu don't know a med aid gives or other nurses. Like I said in Texas you can't let an aid give meds. Bottom line. To me it doesn...
  24. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    I realize that. I don't think that is why they were more concerned. If you draw them up for the aid then you are not giving her the keys so she can't very well get to them.
  25. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    I don't understand why some of you are talking about giving narcotics as if that is soooooooooo different from the other meds. I have worked mostly nursing homes for the 12yrs. I have been doing this. Not once have I seen anyone go beyond looking at ...
