my don had me sign some inservices, i signed first initial last name then title as a nurse does, she proceeded to ask me if this was my legal signature, i said i did not understand, she said how do u sign your personal checks, well i said first name then last, she proceeds to ask me if i was bipolar of something all this happened standing at nurses station in front of employees,patients, and visitors. i was highly insulted by this comment and went to the administrator, he said he would talk to her. did i do the right thing or should i have spoke to her first?

I work in LTC, currently am alzeimers/psyche nurse 47 patients and I am the only nurse. I have 4 great CNA's (most of the time, some days only 3) some days are very frustrating with this many patients , not enough hours in the shift to do what we as nurses know should be done , am currently hoping for some help with am med pass. I am in Illinois

I am glad to know these kind of nurses are banned

my uncle is a alcoholic for many years now, he has began swelling up face and legs, his legs now have 10 inch diameter open wounds on them 1 1/2 inch deep draining and yellow, he also has a hernia almost to his knees. he lives with my grandma and of course is not employed, won't sign for medicaid or any help, says he wants to die. my problem is i do not want my grandma too find him dead soon. is there any way we can get him medical attention without his consent? he can't keep any solids down, he's started throwing any food up. any info would be greatly appreciated thanx

hi i also work at a nursing home i am responsible for 42 patients and usually have 4 cna's sometimes 5. most difficult med pass consisting of tube feedings, crushing meds for alzeimers patients who can't swallow pills. i have been doing 12 hour days for several weeks due to nurse shortages, and i am exhausted. i know how you feel........

i would luv to have a nursing e pal. im 44 yrs old been a lpn for 8 years now. i live in new lenox illinois
