  1. New Admissions

    cebuana_nurse replied to critical thinker's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In my facility, the floor nurses do it all. You get lucky if the RN supervisor helps out but they only do the body assessment. The rest is for the floor nurses to do on top of their med pass,...

  2. charts on plain sight--HIPAA violation?

    cebuana_nurse replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I truly believe that change can either be good or bad. But I just don't feel comfortable charting infront of the desk. Charting is one of those things that I need a good place to focus on what to...

  3. What do you absolutely LOVE and absolutely HATE about your job as a nurse

    cebuana_nurse replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    What I absolutely love about being a nurse is the compassionate care that we provide to our residents. It's rewarding and increases the feeling of self-worth. The pay and benefits comes second. What I...

  4. I really NEED to hear from nurses that like or love LTC.

    cebuana_nurse replied to malem's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I still have 1 month and 18 days to think about it. I'm an RN receiving LPN's pay and it gets tiring most of the times. My residents always make my day, the smiles, hugs, kisses and the comfort that I...

  7. New Grad RN as an RN supervisor?

    cebuana_nurse replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  10. New Grad RN as an RN supervisor?

    cebuana_nurse replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    cebuana_nurse replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    LOL! I agree with you! This is totally absurd. Anyways, is it ok to do FS st 1530 instead of 1600? We only have 1 glucometer for the whole wing which has 2 halls. The other hall has only 4-5 patients...

    cebuana_nurse replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC
