How do you help new nurses get organized? I have been working with a nurse who just can't seem to get organized. We have been together for ten shifts and for some reason she is not able to look at the big picture and organize her shift. It seems her ...

Just diagnosed with type 2.............anyone else out there? Does it affect your work?

I have never heard the term active treatment what is it?

49 bed facility I started in June since that time there have been........... 13 deaths 10 people sent out and returned from hospital 12 peo...

Yes always good when they go home............I was just amazed by how many people have come through the doors in such a short time.

Shouldn't they then be called mis-management lol.

We have all benn there........bad DNS's, bad coworker's, bad working conditions in general............but even thogh we are all supportive of each other in the break room, the smoking area or whereever when push comes to shove no one is willing to sp...

I was wondering that too............I am in the pacific northwest and the only place here with a union is the hospital and the nurses fought that tooth and nail. I asked my husband about unions I always thought they helped the orking people but he sa...

Granted some people are whiners.........but there are also REAL issues that need to be addressed and aren't because of nurses unwillingness to take a stand. For example late Friday admits to the NH that arrive from the hospital management has made th...

Amen, women tend to talk issues to death..................we are tough with our words, but when it comes right down to it we are not brave enough to stand up.

I read in a nursing magazine one time that until more men come into the field these problems will go one. Men don't put up with as much as women and tend to get things corrected..................I wonder wy that is?

Interesting info. I actually googled the company and they look legit. Will let you know what I find out.

Why is that?

OH please hurry and start your line I will be your first customer........36" inseam......that's all I ask.

What is on your name tag? First name? Last name? Picture? We just got new ones, they have the name you go by and under that your full name, under that, your title and under that the facility name. Large name tags and I am not sure I like having my la...

I like the tape idea thanks.

Not that I anticipate any problem but I do read the news and have heard stories. Why invite trouble? I think a picture and the name you go by should be enough. If anyone needs or wants more info they can always ask.

That was my thought so on the sign up sheet i put declined but they put it on anyway............is that legal?

Also safety precautions.........potential fall risk.

You worked in a small facility. 2 nurses 4 aides per shift, and were told to watch your back, that there were "spies" on the floor? What if you found out who this person is by being direct and asking her? What if this person made the same errors as e...

I am heartbroken at the idea that I may have to leave this place. I think I will stand my ground and just be careful...............who know's princess perfect may fall from her throne some day and I would hate to miss that.................. Just like...

Oh yes it really is hapening. I was given this info from a nurse who has worked at this facility for 13 years, she says she is in a panic over this situation. I was ignoring it until I was called to the DNS office and spoken to re holes in the MAR. I...

Very professional huh?

What is it with nurses and pain meds? I don't understand. It's such a simple thing to do for someone..........the offer of pain medication. Most elders are so stoic they just suffer mostly because they don't want to "bother" the nurse. I always make ...

Of course you need improvement...........this is all new to you and your fellow students. Hang in there. Just remember this the instructors are there because they want to be their salary is terrible!!!!!
