  1. Nurses Just Need to Learn How to Say NO!

    Leonardo Del Toro posted a topic in General Nursing

    I enjoy working as a nurse, I love being around patients and care for them; I like it because it is personable. But I also love being around nurses. I enjoy their presence because and I think of them...

  2. You show up for work and there is no one there. What to do?

    Leonardo Del Toro posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am dreading the day when I show up to work and find out that I'm the only nurse on the floor. And I think that day is coming soon. The other unit RN, or LVN didn't show up. What are we supposed to...

  3. Every 3 Hour Vitals and Lung Sounds

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how sick these patients are. Q4 I've heard but Q3 is too much. Lots of nurses are obsessed with BP. To wake up a pt q3 seems to create more harm than good. You can always tell when a...

  4. You show up for work and there is no one there. What to do?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    For the longest time, they have been saying "we have sufficient staff" but they never add, sick days, vacation, and people leaving into the equation. These three neglected items are always covered by...

  5. You show up for work and there is no one there. What to do?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. They have always pinned the responsibility on the nurses. Such as scheduling and finding another nurse if non are present. But now we are reaching critical levels of shortage, and these are...

  6. You show up for work and there is no one there. What to do?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Small SNF, 40 beds, two RN's or LVN's for each side. I'm an RN, DON not in facility. Charge

  7. Nursing jobs applying covid vaccines?

    Leonardo Del Toro posted a topic in General Nursing

    How much are those jobs paying? Any leads for Bay Area

  8. I called in sick today, they didn't accept it.

    Leonardo Del Toro posted a topic in General Nursing

    This how desperate things are getting. I'm sick can't go in today. But so many others have called off that my call off wasn't accepted. What does that mean? I have to work sick? They are sending the...

  9. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It goes both ways doesn't it? No loyalty goes both ways. You can't commit to me, I can't commit to you. I'm looking around, who pays more? Is that good for health care? No it is not. Do they care? No...

  10. I don’t want to work extra!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    And for how long will these issues be resolved? I think we are going to have a melt down one of these days. When they finally realize the problem it will be too

  11. I don’t want to work extra!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    That's right. We have to adopt that same frame of mind in our facility. This thing about asking to be a team player, help out etc...is not flying anymore. Where is the incentive to work extra, but not...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    And here's a nightmarish though: In 2024 Trump America, health care corporation managers will hire a couple of tugs to escort you back to work...or else face the consequences. Life in America:...

  13. I don’t want to work extra!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they get you there. Good job, the taste of victory is theirs, but only for a few hours until they realize you called off for your next shift. Now is somebody else's turn. Good lord I hate this...

  14. I don’t want to work extra!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Meaning, you don't have to stay if you don't agree? I often have to stay and work 16hs because the NOC nurse calls off and no replacement is sent. It is a given well established practice. No need to...

  15. I don’t want to work extra!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    I'm done with the helping out BS. I've been helping out since day one. Doing an extra shift here, coming 3 hrs earlier, living late, and working on days off. They have demolished their welcome. Used...

  16. I don’t want to work extra!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    That's right. In big centers they will never, never hire nurses. End of story. Only until the whole system collapses and maybe whatever is born from the ashes will hire nurses. The current corporate...

  17. Are You Wanting to Leave Your Nursing Job? Feel Guilty? What Should You Do?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Nursing CE Central's topic in General Nursing

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Calling out dead. That's an interesting idea. Oh, good morning miss Tina, I'm calling out dead today...sorry can't come to work. Dead people don't go to work. Good

  22. I don’t want to work extra!

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    That's true. I should do something like that. However, I know all other facilities are like that, specially right now. So what gives. I should look for a part time job and fill in the days I want, and...

  25. I called in sick today, they didn't accept it.

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    I probably got sick because of all this pressure. I'm never sick. I'm not showing up until I'm 100% because I know, that when I go in again I'm looking at a warzone nightmare type workplace, so I must...
