  1. LPN LTC Workloads and too little time

    Blackcat99 replied to Silverhawk's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LTC is a no-win situation. I just gave my 2 week notice as I was working full time night shift. It was the longest 2 weeks of my life. I got tired of coming home every single day feeling completely...

    Blackcat99 replied to darla80's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  8. NH res with criminal history, sex offender

    Blackcat99 replied to Betty_SPN_KS's topic in General Nursing

  10. NH res with criminal history, sex offender

    Blackcat99 replied to Betty_SPN_KS's topic in General Nursing

  16. Problem CNAs on night shift

    Blackcat99 replied to clab25's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I really like the idea of giving out hand-outs and make them as specific as possible such as vital signs need to be done and turned into the nurse by 12 midnight etc. I would have a line on the...

    Blackcat99 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thanks Frisky. I am so use to having to rush all the time and never having any real "quality time" with a patient. I am hoping I will now have time to be a "real nurse" once in a while.
