I've been a member of this web site since practically day one. Through all of it's ups and downs from back in the day it was the moderators who kept this site going and it is because of them allnurses is the website it is today. My heart goes out to each and everyone of you at this time of great tragedy and loss.

I'm obsessed with scrubs...I wear any I can buy.

I don't understand...why isn't your clinic manager really concerned about her? If I was your manager, I'd be looking into this matter. Why is she throwing blame on you and threatening that it's your license. Just make sure you document everything and don't forget to document that your manager is quite aware of her work ethics. This way when and if something happens down the pike, the blame will ultimately fall on your manager because nothing was done about her when you tried to warn her. Run as fast as you can away from there.

And I'd rather a pharmasist than a monkey.

Hmmm...Looks like she's going to be ok after all.

you'll be fine, I'm telling you. It's not a big deal.your guardia angel is here and Don't worry about it. Jesus is here and he.ll help you. Your safe in there hands. TRust me You many have to face alittle consequence but that's ok you'll get thrugh it ok the Lord will guide you...no problem If you have to persue a lawyer you go right ahead .

She'll be fine. oh and Magnolia, if you ever get sick, remember don't go to the hospital you work at. You know for sure all the little noiseybodies will be in your chart. Then you can sue them all hahahahaha!

Don't worry Magnolia, everything will be ok. Don't listen to these hard ***** they'll only scare you to death. Whatever the outcome it'll be a lesson learned. Remember the Lord is on your side. He'll take care of you. Keep your chin up and You'll be fine. Peace to you. .

I feel for you. We had a similar situation at my facility and the person only got three days suspension. Maybe they won't be so harsh on you since you're a new nurse. I'll say a prayer for you.

I always sing. I can't help it, I just love to sing... hence the name. If I'm not singing, I'm whistling. The residents love it and if per chance I'm not singing, they ask me if I feel alright. Music is a great destressor for me and I don't know what I would do if I couldn't sing.

"Do I really have to talk with patients if I'm their nurse?" No, just stare at them.

We had a manager like that and at the end of the year all the time we acrued over 240 hrs, she HAD to give us or we would lose it. So many people had vacation at the end of the year because of her "controling ways" of not handing out vacations when people wanted it. So in the end she got in trouble with her bosses because she had no staff come November/December. Now we have trouble getting one day of AL if we ask for one. She comes out with the old "I'm not handing out any AL" at this time. IDK, some of these managers think our time is coming out of their pockets. We worked for it, we earned it and we should be able to use it when we need to. Not when they want you to use it...control freaks. :icon_roll

I had a wild dream one night. I dreampt I had given a resident a fleet enema and he let loose a giant stool bigger than he was!

Well according to my unit manager, the suveyors are looking to see that you are doing this. I know it's crazy. You work there every day this is the residents home and they are there every day and you shouldn't have to ask them their name everyday. But for new employees I can see where it is important until they get to know the residents. I admit that after 37 years in nursing this is the first time I have ever been told to use two identifiers when giving meds so I started to do this the other day. I asked one resident his name and his eyes widened and he looked at me like I was cRaZy as a matter of fact, they all thought I was crazy, but I explained to them why I have to do this and they seem to understand. I was told the other day that if you have to give a dementa resident his meds and he can't tell you his name, we just tell the surveyor that he/she has dementia and it is not possible for him/her to identify themself, but if absolutely necessary we can ask another staff member to identify them by name also. When you scan their ID band and the computer asks you if this is the correct patient, I sure wish we had a photo ID pop up on the computer screen. Something I can suggest to those computer people.

WE don't have any pictures in the MAR, so I guess we'll have to go by the wrist band and those who can answer. If they can't answer, they can't answer. I just wonder if the surveyors are going to like that.
