A very pregnant lady came in through the ER up to OB in a wheelchair. As I bent over to lift the footrest, she puked her big mac on the back of my head. :Melody:

EMS report of: 24 weeks, ROM, UC's, Pain, Urge to push. I'd be giving that doc a call. :Melody:

My LPN's and RN's on the floor are scared to death of the careplans because the surveyors pick them to death and then someone gets the finger pointed at them. I don't really blame them. They are quite capable of the task, but so overloaded they don't have time. I am a part-time MDS Coordinator, CRNAC, in a small rural facility of 54 beds. I depend on the copy of the telephone order to keep up with the daily changes. My hours in the facility are based on the current number of residents in house, so I may be out of the facility for 4-5 days at a time. My floor nurses make extra notes to me on my copies of the TO that help me a lot to keep up with resident changes. I am very grateful for what they do and try to extend to them my appreciation regularly. Input from SS is another story. Like pulling teeth.
