    RANT ON: I am so sick of the BS in LTC!

    StNeotser replied to nursinger's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you're a nurse in LTC, chances are you have a 30 patient load, which equates to about two minutes per hour, per patient. If you're a care manager in LTC you're often salaried, work 12 hours 5 days...

    Is everything really the nurses fault?

    StNeotser replied to jerrylundergard's topic in General Nursing

    See that's the thing though. Do you think the Doctor spends hours documenting things that they notified other people to do just in case some worthless individual comes back to blame them for not...

    Do you agree that Nurses are on the Worst Driver List?

    StNeotser replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    OMG! I did that last week. I saw two sets of lights in the distance and assumed it was a plane about to land. When they got closer it occured to me that it was just two cars coming down a hill....

    What to do with CNAs that sleep during the night shift?

    StNeotser replied to Plagueis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am in agreement that nobody can tell you what you can and can't do when you are not being paid - so long as we were clocked out and found with eyes closed we were fine. I had to find a nurse...

    Hi my name is Jane, I'll be your glorified waitress today!

    I hope the vent made you feel better. :) Oh, and if Ruby Vee hasn't already said it Leave The Venter In the Vent Thread

    Do degrees mean nurses will not 'dirty' their hands?

    StNeotser replied to regularRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The British press are having a competition right now to see who can devalue nursing the most. I'm surprised to see the BBC has put in an entry - I did think better of them. I don't believe it for a...

    Really, I don't know where they get their info from..

    StNeotser replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they got their info from the college who is trying to recruit them for the BSN

    managements new idea for call-lights

    StNeotser replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Can you all collectively ignore it? Seriously, do they think they are going to "improve" patient care by having you leave patient A in the middle of something to go to patient B to tell them you're...

    managements new idea for call-lights

    StNeotser replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Just another point that addresses how far removed from patient care managers are. However many time wasting and expensive ways they find to flog a dead horse, the cart ain't going to move any faster....

    Nobody Likes A Tattle Tail

    StNeotser replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    I get tired of people saying it's because it's a female environment. It's because these people are listened to. Nursing gets reported by the dietary manager all the time because he is a little man...

    I did the stupidest thing ever

    StNeotser replied to shanika1m1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, explain what happened. It's certainly not the stupidest thing ever. Don't beat yerself up.

    Gum Chewing

    StNeotser replied to NinetyNine's topic in General Nursing

    I chew discreetly, most of the time it is cheeked. If we are about to have an inspection we cannot have water bottles anywhere, at the station in the med room, absolutely nowhere. I can't be alone...

    What tactics do you use with Know All Aides?

    StNeotser posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm afraid on my unit I have a know it all aide. She is from a foreign country (actually so am I) used to be a nurse in a foreign country, has her degree, is waiting to go through NCLEX, yada yada....

    What tactics do you use with Know All Aides?

    StNeotser replied to StNeotser's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's the thing too. The family were so nice and they were dealing with their dying relative, their dying husband and father. All this individual put across is that he was too much trouble for...

    Is healthcare a right or privilege?

    StNeotser replied to Treat et Street's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I see you've updated your post. :) So you served in the military - I have great respect for that. In fact the only thing I don't have great respect for at all is that you see poor people as...

    who's responsibility is it?

    StNeotser replied to mcpnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It would depend if you knew and it was documented in the chart they had already had an adverse reaction to that drug or also to that class of drugs

    Is healthcare a right or privilege?

    StNeotser replied to Treat et Street's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Because the cost of that $1 "happy meal" means the person who is serving it to you goes without health insurance and you know it. That wonderful dollar menu means that hundreds of thousands go...

    Is healthcare a right or privilege?

    StNeotser replied to Treat et Street's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Of course I hold my daughter more dear than everyone elses. But in a supposed civilized society I shouldn't have to chose between whether she or someone elses daughter gets treatment. That's the...

    What tactics do you use with Know All Aides?

    StNeotser replied to StNeotser's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's the other thing, I spent a great deal of time talking with the family for the rest of the day doing "damage control", ie telling them it was OK to leave their relative with us and I would be...

    Is healthcare a right or privilege?

    StNeotser replied to Treat et Street's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I find it rather disgusting that the richest nation in the world (for the next five years or so) think it's OK that the lowest twenty to thirty percent income bracket is dispensable. These are your...

    Name a situation that is not your responsibilty...

    StNeotser replied to NurseCallus's topic in General Nursing

    I've tried to think of any situation where someone will fail at pinning the blame on nursing but can't. Grrr. And in my short eight years total in nursing, it's always been this

    Homeless-- where do they go after discharge?

    StNeotser replied to AmericanChai's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have had a couple of homeless patients in for frostbite - after discharge one went to a friends, the other went to a shelter. The one who went to a friends house you'd never have known was homeless...
