I WORK IN A LTC SKILLED NURSING FACILITY:nurse:. LAST WEEK THE ADMINISTRATOR ANNOUNCED THAT ONE OF THE 6-2 LPN'S THAT HAS WORK IN AN OFFICE FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS IS NOW THE NEW ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF NURSING. MY CONCERN IS THIS: CAN AN LPN BE AN ADON I...

hello everyone, i just now got off work after going in a 5:30 pm last noc b/c the scheduling coordinator doesn't know how to schedule enough nurses, or she lets a group of 3 off on the same day:angryfire. i felt bad b/c adon had just worked 12 hrs ...

Yeah, then when this is reported where I work, you get blamed, because of an unsatisfied customer, and I work in LTC. How far should I bend over to take it up the BUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just happened on this site and I put in my 2 cents. I am tired of our employer saying nite shift is fully staffed. I work by myself and have 76 residents to care for. I have 4 g-tube patients. They tell me if I can't handle the work load to find an...

Will never forget the day the Physician misdiagnosed my mom, she had a heart attack the physician wrote dx as Chronic back pain, Mom died 1 month to the day, later. COD: Heart Failure, Complicated by A-Fib. Will never forget a very sweet old man I to...

:yeah:Amen Preach On. Night shift only puts up with family members if the Pt's on their death bed.

I want to make myself very clear here, this is my opinion only. The nurse that stops practicing basic patient care no matter how small or dirty, is only in this for the $$$$$$$. To all of us real nurses that truly care how the pts we are working with...

If you don't like the conversation I'm sorry but the consensus is that CMA's are not licensed professionals:nurse:. I do not see any where in this thread where people are not getting along. IT'S CALLED A DISCUSSION!!!!!!!!!!!!:typing

thank you from this 15 yr lpn that pretty much sums up this misunderstanding for me:bow:. now i wonder if the person who started this thread has ever seen this or even attempted to find it.

WOW, You definitely have been through trials. Thank you so much for sharing. God will bless you I will keep you in my prayers. I know I am one nurse who strives to be like the pleasant ones you mentioned. It is so refreshing to hear patients that tru...

I work in LTC and it is very rare that nurses get assaulted. I personally have been assaulted several times in my 15 years as a nurse. Last week we had a male pt. in Alzheimer's Unit that became upset with the CNA and took it out on me when I entered...

I am so sorry to hear of your friends tragic accident. Keep us posted on how everything is with her family. You, your co-workers, and the family are already in my prayers.

You must realize the DON's job is much tougher than the floor nurse:twocents:. She has alot of responsibility and has to deal with corporate, state, family, administration, dietary, therapy issues for each patient day in and day out:eek:. Her job is ...

u answered your own question:yeah:

Kidarroo if you want to be an LPN go to school like the rest of us. I assure u LPN's are a lot more qualified than a certified med tech. How long are u in a class for maybe 6 weeks? No clinicals that put the pts life directly in your hands unless you...

Don't get me involved with your petty bs. No, I don't give a care about what the NM told you about me. I do not wish to go outside to smoke with you just so you can tear me down in private I'd rather have witnesses you condescending *****. Yes, I wou...

If I were you I would check into discrimination. It does not sound like jealousy to me. I do not care what the others are saying. Move on, or your friend has a better personality. Honey I too have been down your road. I have put in the overtime, work...

Hey farmgirl08, I feel for you and anything I can do just let me know:nurse:. To everyone else do you know the administration at this facility says the cna's do not have the right to know what diseases they may be coming in contact with:no:. Hippa ...

just had my second yearly evaluation at work from same nm:yeah:. last year i was smart enough to completely copy my evaluation. i feel it's a good thing i did. this year has been a rough one for me: family wise, personal life, and work wise as well. ...

cell phones are not allowed on during work hrs at our facility. could you imagine, cna's carrying cell phones, nothing would ever get done.(sarcasm:lol2::lol2:)

I am an LPN and have worked at my current position for 3 yrs now. I am the only nurse on Noc Shift with 79 Residents. I will break this down. We have 15 Alzheimer Res. 12 Medicare Residents and 52 skilled / non-skilled residents on 2 other wings. Th...

Thank you all for responding:heartbeat. No:nono:, it's not changed:madface:, We now have 80 Residents :banghead:and one that was admitted is a J-tube pt to boot. I have called the cooperate representative. No luck there, he spews the same BS the Admi...

We have: Code Blue Cardiac arrest Dr Red for fire Dr Black for Imminent storms/tornado Dr Gray for watches of storms/tornado Dr Yellow Missing Res, We actually call Res name over intercom if suspected missing Dr Orange for bomb threat

I live in Mo, and the facility I work at is LTC. We are currently looking for LPN's, RN's, and CNA's d/t increase in admits. You are the first I have heard of that is having difficulties such as that. Sorry to hear about the possibility of lay off.

My father in law passed away last week, and I had to take bereavement Leave. Now our policy states workers get 3 days for immediate family members. I made sure with HR that Father In Law was included with "immediate" family. They assured me this was ...
