  1. nurse not giving her meds.. should she be fired?

    NurseyTee replied to cant_not's topic in General Nursing

    There are too many nurses who have a God complex. Most of us do not but I've ran across a few that think they have the right to deny a patient pain meds just on their own assumption that they "think"...

  2. "Take down" in LTC?????

    NurseyTee replied to NurseyTee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    oh sorry i didn't answer... she's about 78 and suffers

  3. "Take down" in LTC?????

    NurseyTee replied to NurseyTee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I still don't know what is going on with the investigation. They did take her off the schedule. Hopefully, she won't be employed there at all. Do they report these things to the state? The other...

  4. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    NurseyTee replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    We have residents that do the same thing right now. One specifically will come up and ask me about the children and will ask me where their parents are. Since I've read this thread it kind of freaks...

  5. CNA to LPN

    NurseyTee replied to debh17's topic in New York Nursing

    Glorified CNA????? Whoever said that knows nothing of the profession. CNA's cannot do invasive procedures, give medications or injections, start IV's. That is so offensive to me on so many levels I...

  6. Charting Bloopers

    NurseyTee replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

    Gosh! No Hippa laws in SC? Her butt would have been reamed in our facility for blasting that over the intercom for violating his privacy. I would have a talk with her about this so it doesn't happen...

  7. As a patient, do you disclose your qualifications?

    NurseyTee replied to lisalau's topic in General Nursing

    I usually don't say anything at all, but like some of you have said sometimes it just comes out. If I'm asked I don't hide it. When I've been hospitalized I haven't said a word about it. I don't...

  8. Why are others nurses rude to agency nurses?

    NurseyTee replied to doodles's topic in Agency Nurses

    I'm not sure why anyone would treat you poorly. At our facility we don't get to use any agency nurses. And if we ever had the privelege to get one to help us out... I do know this... NOT one of us...

  9. Staff/Patient Ratio - 30 Patients per Nurse

    NurseyTee replied to Colima's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yep, I've seen that list. Ours is posted in the basement where no one goes except employees. I was wondering what that was. There are people on that thing that don't even work there anymore. Stupid...

  10. Staff/Patient Ratio - 30 Patients per Nurse

    NurseyTee replied to Colima's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I truely love the residents and if they would make the ratio somewhere near reasonable I would stay, but I just can't take this. I'm looking for a new job tonight. I can't take this stress and it's...

  11. Staff/Patient Ratio - 30 Patients per Nurse

    NurseyTee replied to Colima's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I just posted a similar reply about this same subject in another thread. I'm taking care of too many at a time too. I regularly have 30 or more by myself and it's killing me. Last week I had 52 by...

  12. Gave meds to wrong patient, please help guys

    NurseyTee replied to MimismomRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I hate that this happened to you. It sounds like it's your preceptor's fault not yours. This thread is a bit of a wake up call to me though. 11-15 patients is a LOT? I regularly have 30 or more by...

  13. It's always the nurses fault

    NurseyTee replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    At our facility, our DON and supervisors stand behind the nursing staff 110%. It's nice to know they have our backs. I know some places aren't like that, if I were you I would find one. It stinks...

  14. Dissapearing Aids... the norm?

    NurseyTee replied to APP's topic in General Nursing

    I love my CNA's!! The good ones that is. And let me tell you, the good ones are GREAT! I don't have to babysit them or watch over them like a hawk because they are going to dash out or hide to avoid...

    NurseyTee replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a ltc at night and so far, I've not witnessed anything freaky or of the unnatural, but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for something. That is when I'm not up to my elbows in work, which seems...

    NurseyTee replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I have one kind of Ghost story to add, but it didn't take place in a hospital setting so I hope it's okay to add it here. In my house, we hear someone come in the front door all the time and walk...

  20. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    NurseyTee replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously, you should have notified the Vatican--you still should. Are there other witnesses? She should be a Saint. I'm Catholic and that is a miracle, without a doubt. Things DO NOT materialize...

    NurseyTee replied to Amyjosonata's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Everyone here has given you very wise advice. I have been an LPN for 7 years and Nursing School was no piece of cake, let me tell you. I work side by side with RN's every day and we do the EXACT...
