3. Does your hospital have a morgue?

   rebelwaclause replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in General Nursing

   We do...However it only holds two. I guess the design engineers didn't think more people could die at any given time...

5. New Staffing ratios

   rebelwaclause replied to sharann's topic in California

   I agree with most of your statements above. But even so, The ratios are for RN's AND LVN's...Licecensed nursing staff. http://www.dhs.ca.gov/lnc/pubnotice/NTPR/R-37-01_Regulation_Text.pdf The argument I've faced is getting management to understand ...

6. New Staffing ratios

   rebelwaclause replied to sharann's topic in California

   Just an FYI...It is my understanding that LVN's are INCLUDED in the nurse-staff ratio's. Seems there has been a HUGE misunderstanding that LVN's are NOT licensed nurses, therefore LVN's ratio's can be, well, anything. DHS R-37-01 clearly states who l...

7. sleeping staff

   rebelwaclause replied to night owl's topic in Safety

   ^5 Good_Queen_Bess. People who have posted saying sleepers are negligent and irresponsible are just trying to be martyrs of some sort. If my eyeball's are to be on each one of my patients the entire shift, then every nurse out there has failed. Why n...

8. sleeping staff

   rebelwaclause replied to night owl's topic in Safety

   ^5. Why is this a issue? Because those who aren't doing something bad..."sleeping" for the topic of this discussion, want to feel as though they are better than those who sleep and/or just want to have something to gripe about. If I asked you to watc...

9. Low rider pants on nurses

   rebelwaclause replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

   I'd rather have a nurse that knows what the heck she's doing in a leotard and psychedelic hip hugger scrubs than a conservatively/traditionally dressed idiot. Why split hairs over personal taste?....I could careless what he/she has on - Just know you...

10. Public and Private Hospitals - whats best?

    rebelwaclause replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in International

    Private hospitals tend to have more $loot$, more "new" stuff and more snobbery. Public hospitals are overlooked and under-funded, but have spunk and intellect because of the deficit AND dedicated people who are there. That's about it in a nutshell.

11. New breed of bullies!

    rebelwaclause replied to Tink RN's topic in Relations

    Every bully gets their day in hell, if they aren't already there daily anyway. Continue to stay to yourself, smile, and be cordial - unless you want to be their best friends. Then you'll have to suck up to them and be like them and leave yourself be...

12. Roaches are going to drive me out of home care!!!

    rebelwaclause replied to hoolahan's topic in Home Health

    I'm feeling faint reading this..... I'd have to go on pysch meds to visit roach infested homes. Or be heavily sedated. Either way - I'd be fired because my charting would look like childs play. Hang in there Hoolie....!

13. Anyone work for Tenet Hospitals?

    rebelwaclause replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked there as an orderly back in 97, the major share holder and might-as-well-be owner was none other than Ross Perot. Go figure...
