I work in a ALF. We have a prn LPN that has been a nurse for over 25 years although she has not always worked as a nurse. She worked for our facility when we first opened then left to go some where else and has now returned as prn but she works frequ...

Thank you, up to this point everything reported to the DON has been verbal but that will change now. We are not allowed to do an incident report or a med error report on another employee, only the managers can do that!

We have paper, if we don't send them out we have a 1 pg incident report, 2 page fall followup such as what could have been done to prevent, paper to notify the Dr is not serious and charting along with notifying the family. If they go out there is an...

I work in a ALF with 24 hour nursing. We have a LPN that works 7a to 12n and one that works 7a to 7p. Then we have a LPN that works 7p to 10p and one for 7p to 7a. We have a CNA 7a to 2p and one 7a to 3p. The 3p to 11p and one 4p to 9p. Then we have ...

The meds that we give our residents come in bubble paks like in the nursing home. We are such a brand new facility that at this moment we only have a DON/Nurse Manager, 3 FT LPN's and 2 PT LPN's and about 6-7 FT and PT CNA's. We have assisted living ...

I am currently working at a alf that has been open about 1 month. Brand new beautiful facility! My question is what kind of activities do you do with the residents? What meds are in lock up? Everything seems so murky compared to waht I was used to in...

We have 24 hour nursing on duty, not on call but actually in the building. I don't know how common this is but in our town none of the other alf have it. We don't have any med techs, only LPN's can give the medications. Thanks for your reply!

I am surprised that I only received 1 reply to this question. Do you think there are just not that many alf nurses out there?

Anyone out there who works in assisted living? I am starting a new position in a brand new facility and would like a llittle information about how things run in your facility! Thanks!:heartbeat

Sounds great thanks! We are not having any specialized units. We have 32 bed assisted living, and I think a 38 bed independent living. This building was just built and won't open for a few weeks but it beautiful inside. A person wouldn't have to leav...

Do you have a preference which type of cuff you use? Have you found any difference in the readings? Does your facility allow them? Just wondering all this, our facility is banning them starting Monday and just wondered how you all felt:D

I have approx 48 residents on 3-11 shift. I have 4 cna's and me and I do all treatments, med passes, dr orders etc. This is to many to give any kind of care to let alone quality care!

I have been a LPN for 18 years and I have a interview tomorrow morning at a new retirement community opening in my town in December. They have assisted living along with other styles. I am currently working in ltc and really want out! Another nurse w...

Just talking to people who understand. I lost my first resident last night. I have been a nurse for 18 years but only in ltc for 3 1/2 months. This was a special one, :heartbeatI admitted him and have been his nurse ever since. He came in up walking,...

Welcome!

We were recently given a memo at the ltc facility I work at about proper peri care. On the male side they had listed the following: DO NOT pull back the foreskin on uncircumcised males. What do you all think of this? Everyone at my facility is in ...

I am on the Christmas party planning committee at the ltc facility where I work.:wink2: I have not worked there at Christmas before, so I am looking for some ideas:idea: that you all use at your Christmas Parties! Any ideas would be greatly appreciat...

Sounds good to me, thanks for all your work!

Yep, exactly the reason stated above. Apparently the Admin had this happen at a previous facility and she doesn't want it happening again.

:bow::bow::yeah:

Has anyone received their Christmas card list yet? I just want to make sure I haven't missed out!

I agree, I think we all should stop reading and posting on anything from him. None of it sound legit.
