  2. LTC charting

    Sparrowhawk replied to NightNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

  8. What to wear to new CNA job orientation?

  9. Is this Normal? Need some perspective!

    Sparrowhawk replied to Cavendish's topic in General Nursing

    Not all by myself..that's what I meant..I should have clarified. And I agree with 2nd to last poster..doesn't sound like they're doing what they're supposed to with nurse interns. My cousin works as...

  16. Mad and confused!

    Sparrowhawk replied to Sparrowhawk's topic in General Nursing

    I am tending to agree. THanks SO much for the advice..I fully intend to talk to the admin tomorrow...If it is budgets, they have no right to trash me and my nursing skills. I think it's time they...

  17. Mad and confused!

    Sparrowhawk replied to Sparrowhawk's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I plan on it. I'm riled up good. I'm not letting this garnish my career when I'm just fresh out of diapers so to speak. Allbeit in a very sweet, professional manner

  18. Mad and confused!

    Sparrowhawk replied to Sparrowhawk's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just finding another job and good riddance. But I really feel I should talk to the administrator who has happened to been there the whole time. And yeah, I can see this lady seeing me as weak,...

  22. LTC/rehab facility: ?'s --LPN Scope of Practice

    Sparrowhawk replied to SlightlyMental_RN's topic in General Nursing

    In Missouri we do all those things...the DON usually does the care plan at least at my facility, I'm sure it's different facility by facility too..protocol and all that. Eating while working and not...

  23. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Sparrowhawk replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I too find this extremely offensive! LTC is VERY hard work..VERY frustrating..but extremely rewarding. Sure, there's a few nurses who probably don't care, but I've not met them yet. I love my...
