I'm with all the posts that illustrate the difference between patient care and customer service. However the "powers that be" do not see it that way. I work in a geri-psych facility with 88 residents and 85 of them are on Medicaid....I see it as that...

That's about how I feel myself, but I do try to be careful at work.....'cause you never know who's best-buddies with the bosses:cheers:.

Uh, let's see...working in a geri-psych LTC, it ranges from the music they make themselves to "Ain't Nothin' But a G Thang".....

Not trying to start an LPN vs. RN argument here, but just want to inquire if any LPNs have run into nurse managers who make it clear they don't like to have LPNs on staff? The home health agency I work for has a DON who makes it clear during meetings...

I'm not sure where to post this, but I'm in need of some comfort, I guess.... any of you ob/gyn nurses come across women who cannot have children? If so, have you any interesting stories? Thank you:)

I've had it said to me before. I even had a lady tell me her attorney's name was J. Edgar Hoover! Then again, I work in a gero-psych facility. I'm more worried about what our management might do to us if we don't keep the patients happy no matter wha...

Hmm...this is a strange story, but with some of the terminations I've witnessed personally, I can believe it. At my place of employment.....a gero-psych facility, I have seen a lot of people come and go for getting on management's bad side. The membe...

I'm an LPN finishing RN....uh, hmm...when I took an IQ test at 15 it was 96. Below average!!

It is the flying gout. Has to be. No other diagnosis makes sense.

Plenty of it at my job. Management is good at throwing ****at the staff!!

It's shoddy, not "shotty". I have to disagree with the posts stating one has to be on their "A-Game" to be working in the hospital. There are shoddy nurses everywhere because nurses are people and there are shoddy people everywhere. I work in a gero-...

We have a LifeCare in my community and I work with a few people who have worked for them. It seems to be like any other LTC; high patient load, a lot of staff turnover, and a skeleton crew for staffing. My best friend worked for them for 8 years and ...

That was hilarious, but have a care....the powers that be who watch this might be taking notes!!

It's interesting that someone made a thread about this because we had a nurse at our facility before she moved, whom I believed was a "functioning illiterate". Or she had bad eyesight...I'm not sure. She would ask the rest of us to read MD orders for...

I don't know about ya'll but if you were to work in the facility I work for....all you get is what you're entitled to by law...your paycheck! Okay, they do offer health & dental, 401K, and flex spending account but that's it. They don't do staff ...

Money buys way too much in this country, even things that shouldn't be for sale. This is likely a small example of similar things that go on in our government, justice system, etc.. This country is of the rich, for the rich, and by the rich. The rest...

Behind every good nurse is an even better CNA !!

We are all in big trouble. I can just hear management's flexing of "executive muscles"!

Booze and nookie with my hot husband!!

Parapsychologist....wanted to explore the "paranormal"!!! I wanted to investigate haunted places and possessed people. Heck, sounds kinda like my job description now!!

I treat everyone the same. I don't care what others, including MDs, think of me. It's not so much high self-esteem as it is just having more important matters on my mind.

Alaine, I'm certain you mean well, but Puh-lease dump the rest of the Kool-Aid down the sink!!!

Nightengale....sounds like that facility has a lot of problems, but have a care as to how you talk about LPNs. I personally don't give a rat's patoot about what other LPNs or RNs think about me, but have a care. Oh, and I'm in an LPN to RN program at...

Lady Voldemort, LPN staff nurse, nurse for 3 yrs., duties out in the workforce a lot better as a nurse than student nurse, salary approx. $35,000 per annum, my advice for someone pursuing this field to find out what the job market is like for nurses ...
