  1. Night shift -- can you just take it easy, please?

    Lynx25 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a patient ratio that changes between night/day? I'm LTC, Day shift has 20-30 patients, and Night has 60. Between all of the bolus feedings that are in our unit, and the jittery rehab...

    That's about the face I made

  3. Protecting a patient at risk for abuse or neglect

    Lynx25 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I work in a LTC facility, and I have had one resident for quite a while, who seemed to be one of those who just gets dropped off by the family, and never thought of again. From the records, it doesn't...

    Yes. I suppose it's all a moot point now. Apparently she didn't make it through the

  5. Why do Doctors think they are................God!!

    Lynx25 replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    You are only a silly nurse! Pft! Your opinions are invalid! We just took on a wonderful new doctor at our facility, who is MILES away from the former doc, who was ridiculous. He told us he didn't want...

  6. Protecting a patient at risk for abuse or neglect

    Lynx25 replied to Lynx25's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I thought that something might have happened with the family- and before she became a ward of the state- I wanted to make sure. Then again, I work 16 hour shifts on the weekends, so I suppose I might...

  7. Nurse to Patient Ratio

    Lynx25 replied to flg2008's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is why I want to move to an ICU setting where you aren't required to have quite so many people. I'm in LTC, where the facility wants to have more and more Medicare Rehab pts, so I have thirty...

  8. LPN to... BSN? ADN?

    Lynx25 posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm sure there's about a hundred posts on this topic... I tried poking around a bit but couldn't find anyone who was slow enough to start out with their LPN. I decided to get my LPN, and bridge to get...

  9. Chatahoochee Tech for Pre-Req's

    Lynx25 replied to NurseHopefulGA's topic in Georgia Nursing

    AHH! CTC makes me so angry! Do not, I repeat do NOT rely on what advisors tell you! Get things in WRITING! Do LOTS of your own research. When I was first accepted to the school, not only did I believe...

  10. "Shutting the door" for infection control

    Lynx25 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took the NCLEX today, and I have the strangest feeling I'll be talking to Pearsonvue in another three months. I've been studying for the test for three months, I was getting great grades on my...

  11. "Shutting the door" for infection control

    Lynx25 replied to Lynx25's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Phew... passed! Thanks for the tips on the door question- I -think- that's what I ended up going with- to shut the door if the person was on airborne precautions, but I can't say for sure. Thank you...

  12. Pinstriped Scrubs

    Lynx25 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm looking for a set of pinstriped scrubs... not the ones with vertical stripes, but the kind of pinstriping you see on custom cars etc. All the patterned scrubs I've seen are just the obnoxious ones...
