Why do they hire an LPN if it's just enrolling in the program, anybody can do it. I'm sending there has to be some clinical work involved. Is the SW supervising a certified Case Manager? I doubt it. It's a low cost program hiring the wrong people.

Thank you, I'm not a new grad, but sorry not moving.

Hi; In which state are looking for a CM?

That I know, my question was because given the fact that I'm the only RN in the house, and my position as Supervisor doesn't allow me to "take" my break. Meaning, I need to be at all times available. As said by the administrator, " you need to make sure you take your break, it doesn't matter if it's in 15 minutes portions, but you have to take it. You can't leave the building though" So, that means I'm not really taking any time off. So, I think I should get paid for it. The problem, I think is not with me as part timer , but wilth the Full timers, because then, they should get overtime for the breaks, and that they don't want to pay. Thank you for sharing you ideas and points of view.

HI: I agree totally, in fact I'm unable to just take my break; the very same administrator told me that "Ihave to make sure I get the break, tit can be in 10 or 15 min period, but I have to take it, they can't pay for it, she said it's amatter of DOL" I think it's a lie. the problem is that they won't pay overtime to the full time supervisor, that would be the case if they'd pay the break. thank you

HI everyone : I just started as a nurse supervisor at a LTC facility. I was surprised when the administrator told me that my 30 min( lunch ) was not paid. Even I can't leave the building, because there's nobody else who I could leave in charge. So, basically I have to take my break in sets of 10 minutes or all together, I need to fifure it out myself. Isn't this illegal? Anybody going through the same? thank you

Hi suzzane: I'm sorry I have no idea how nursing in France would be. But yuou could google it. here's a link to one website on nursing salaries compared to France's. good luck in your search! Salaire des infirmières : la France est-elle bien placée ? | Actusoins | Actusoins | Actualité infirmière

HI: I hope your interview went OK. I received an email on this job offer, but I didn't apply because I already got a new job, and I'm no looking. I'd love to know how exactly this would turn out, because to me the position is confusing. Not sure where it falls. And they really told you'd be reciving documents in Spanish? Probably from the patients. Please keep us all posted. Good Luck!

Where did he get it from?

Hello: I'm reading your post, and I'm thinking, can't you go with both agencies? In NJ you could work for both, at least until you make up your mind about which is the best for you. Regarding the pay, weekly pay is not bad at all.

Really? report the nurse to the BON? Really? I think this is truly over reaction, not to mention that the husband that was present didn't complain. And the wife/mom wants to report fact she didn't actually see because she wasn't there. Really? Unbelievable!

Hi : In the facility were I worked we use to have report books in each unit, but in addition the Supervisor would record any relevant matter related to the general facility situation in another report book for the subsequent Supervisors.That would be,broken systems, a residents that should be specially checked for something, etc. That worked well, she would check each report book to make sure it was complete at the end of the shift

Hi: I'm very sorry for your loss, and unfortunately I know how it feels. As I read what yo wrote I revisit my Mom's passing, she was in a nursing home. She was terminally ill, but that day I worked at the Hospital willing to go to be with her after my shift.shortly before the shift ended they called me on the phone to let me know she had passed. I always think why I had to go to work and couldn't be with her instead. She passed 12 years ago, and I still miss her a lot, so don't feel sorry, and thanks for sharing, it tells me I'm not alone.

Hi: As I was reading your post it got me thinking tha so many times I've done crazy things for a job I love. But, there's always a but, what about your husband and marriage. would he support you? You're going to be tired and probably in a bad mood many times, you both need to think and talk about this plan.

Hi; In Uruguay the curricula goes from the normal human to each area such as pediatrics, mother and baby, adult, geriatrics, community, and the different altered functions in each period of life , and then different altered functions/areas such as psichiatric, neurology, nephrology, hemathology, oncology, Emergency situations,everrything. Always applying the nursing process assessment,diagnosis, care plan, evaluation. Also Administration of nursing services. for that purpose we support our learning process in various subjects, anatomy, phisiology,biochemics, chemistry, physics, pathology, pharmacology, sociology, filosophy,nursing theories, nutrition, health education (I'm sure I'm missing something) scientific Methodologyetc. All this throughout 4 years of full time study/practicum in hospital areas, communities, clinics, schools. and full time means from 7 AM to 5 PM Mon - Fr. It's practically impossible to think about working during these years. I thik it's not that different, is it?
