Wow, that's scary. Thank god you were there, you probably saved her life.

I have never seen it myself, but.... There is this girl I work with who I wonder about, during report she is spacey and fidgety, gets lost in mid sentence. When we count its always on the dot. She fidgets so much during the count itself, pulling at her hair, flipping pages rapidly, stammering,. nothing concrete but makes me go hmmmmmm

I didnt know they still used those, ouch,

Good luck to you, Im sure you will do gr8

Our CNAs have to punch out for brakes, If they come on the floor and get injured, its not covered. Just another thing to think about

I work at a NH. We have a new grad who just started about a month ago. She is always running to the DON over everything. She never confronts people, just calls or leaves notes to DON. She fishes for things, makes it look like an innocent question and wham next thing you know there is a note by the time clock regarding the matter if your answer was wrong. For example a Pt. has Tylenol as an allergy on her mar. It gives her an upset stomach so when asking for allergies on admission she stated Tylenol. That Pt asked for tylenol as she does frequently with her ultram and has been getting it. Its even on the PRN sheets. So this nurse asked me do you give it to her, and well I knew from prior that she was a rat so I told her no. later in the brake room I heard her ask three other nurses the same question. Sure enough the next day the Tylenol was taken off the PRN sheet and a note next to the time card. This is just one example. She is always worried about who is doing what. We all strive to do our best, but she looks for trouble. any Ideas on how to handle this?
