This is why I am now unemployed.I got beat up on a nightly basis until I could take no more.My facility did nothing to protect my safety of other residents.I call the police and was written up for it...even after the police had to help the emt's escort the patient out if the building after choking me and another resident.....I amnow re evaluating my workplace choices and collecting unemployment until I make the next move..sadly it will not be in my beloved LTC I just can't take the abuse they let go on .my body is broken down and so is my spirit.

NSO.. had it for 20 years..thankfully have never had to use it..

i'll make it simple..yes..always..it's not smart not to..

leave it alone..period...she will be long gone before too long.worry about yourself .focus on your internship as it goes by way too quickly!!

Yiikes!!!.....follow your scope of practice at all times....holy cow!!! :smackingf

I quit November 19th 2007..I still want to smoke at times i just dont.I have become a little OCD about the quit date and refuse to make a new date.so I cannot start smoking again.so far so good.. I used a million and one excuses not to quit until I decided I was tired of being addicted to cigs. After I admitted that I was addicted ,the quitting thing just naturally followed..hum..go figure...I can't say honestly that I feel better, but I do know my wallet does.

I can't remember wanting to be anything but at nurse..now a decade and a half later I want to kick myself in the behind..problem is im just too darned tired to do it....i digress......

at our facility we pass meds and treatments on the computer .we have to scan a barcode for every med we pass and for every treatment we do.everything is electronically signed.no paper mars or tars.

I got a home made knitted nurse doll from my very first pt I took care of fresh out of nursing school..I have gotten many gifts since then ,but that was the one i remember the most.

if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...chances are..it's a duck.. if the shoe fits, slap it on ur piggies and walk out da door..

hi all, im from pennsylvania. I was looking for the scope of practice for an lpn od the BON site and couldnt find much.. so I thought I'd ask an lpn..can you use central lines?

did you say she signed her name or your name???if she signed YOURS...whoa !! not good ...not legal...I would be livid if someone signed for me.....she needs written up..before you get written up .YIIKES!!

YEP........

RUN.......RUN FAST!!!

calling the don to inform her that the entire shift has called off..only to be told to mandate your entire shift, only problem is that that shift was already mandated from the previous one!!(don't work there anymore..btw)
