  5. salary question

    systoly replied to MelissaLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    While I'm not quite sure about the details - $4/hr more than what?, what you started at or your present wage?, same benefits? - I have but one question. Why are you still there? There's no better way...

  7. Other nurses signing my initials

    systoly replied to stelarRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Let's pretend I'm your supervisor. This is what I know: You failed to initial for Rx administered, opening the door for all kinds of trouble. While you claim someone else used your initials I don't...

  10. Private duty rant...

    systoly replied to smurfynursey's topic in Private Duty

    This is an interesting issue. I can fully understand ventmommy's position, but there are laws and guidelines the nurses have to follow as well. It probably depends on what state you're in as well as...

  11. Coming to work after taking a narcotic?!

    systoly replied to cherryblossom88's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a serious injury. I would not allow this unfortunate CNA to risk even more compromise to the hand. The CNA needs to obtain a statement from her doctor releasing her to work and in...

  13. Which type of environment can I work in that doesn't require very much bowel care?

    systoly replied to studentnurse1989's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I just looked under the nursing specialties tab and the first three were case management, correctional nursing, legal nursing. I'm sure there are more, but looks like it would require

  14. Anyone run into this....??

    systoly replied to JacknSweetpea's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Never have, my mouth would get me shown to the door on the first day. In this case I could not possibly resist asking the DON, "...so, who's making you work

  15. improper charting vs backstabbing?

    systoly replied to ferretface's topic in General Nursing

    I'd let it go. The chart is for the patient's care nothing else. The person who charted this is on the hook not you. The nurse who charted this had an upset patient and more important than anything...

  16. What would you do?

    systoly replied to jesuslovesme's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how the home health agency job can compare. If I understand this correctly, even if you visited each patient four times a month it would average out to one visit per day. Also consider the...

  19. CNA/PSW to take vitals?

    systoly replied to new_worker's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't know what psw stands for. As far as the cna is concerned, I have no problem with CNAs taking routine

  20. REAL NURSING?

    systoly replied to critical thinker's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    About 14 years ago I was working a weekend option in LTC while working med surg and ortho at the hospital during the week. I never had to worry about volunteers to take my transfusions (I'm a LPN)...

  23. lethargic(and need ABG) or just tired???

    systoly replied to pink816's topic in General Nursing

    A history of recent activity maybe helpful if obtainable. I went in for a procedure one morning after working 3p - 7a. When I was hard to arouse the nurse became very concerned (I'm glad and...

  24. would you apply for this job?

    systoly replied to pretty70's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What morte said or split the narcs according to patient assignment. Any suggestion to allow shared access is unacceptable. Many years ago, while working at a med surg floor, all the nurses had access...
