   Wall of Shame

   Adele_Michal7 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC Directors

   That is something my former don would do!! That is definitely messed up, and I could see it really disturbing visitors/family members (to say nothing of what would happen if a state surveyor saw it!!!)

   Adele_Michal7 replied to Leesha's topic in Nurses

   Oh that's nothing. We've had nine nurses leave this summer.

   Would you work on the same unit as your ex sister-in-law?

   Adele_Michal7 replied to Fleuvre's topic in Nurses

   No way, and I don't think I'd want to work with any family members.

   Misusing the low paid nurse

   Adele_Michal7 replied to Saraz23's topic in LPN/LVN

   If I am understanding correctly, that would mean each licensed nurse had 60 patients and each CNA had 60 patients? If so that is wildly unsafe for everyone involved. And if the acuity of the building is that IV patients are accepted, that's really troubling.

   This is a really old thread, but Atrac-tain is the holy grail for feet. It is a miracle worker.

   PDN and boundaries

   Adele_Michal7 replied to quickkarma's topic in Private Duty

   That's sad, and IMO abuse that's reportable to state agency.

    A simple reminder of why we do what we do, for everyone to reflect

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Bedside_Life RN's topic in Nurses

    Cringing hard at your post, OP. Skipping your own nourishment to chart on patient care isn't only unnecessary: it's illegal. Most corporations take meal and labor laws pretty seriously. Nurses that say they skip self care, etc for the greater good of a patient often overstate the importance of their role to their patient. If you didn't go in to work tomorrow, your patients would all survive. Another coworker would be handling them. You aren't God, and you probably have saved fewer lives than you think.

    Directors covering open shifts

    Adele_Michal7 replied to RainRN1's topic in LTC Directors

    That's AMAZING that you do all that other stuff! That's so helpful. Ours will not do anything related to the floor or patient care whatsoever.

    Using Hand Sanitizers - Is a squirt and go method enough?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nurses

    Oooh I abhor that foam. It feels nasty. I do not like most alcohol sanitizers either. The only one I like is genuine Purrell. But I only use it if no other option: I prefer plain soap and water.

    Double Shift

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric

    Thanks for everyone who answered. The problem a lot of people have been having- is getting overly tired and making mistakes during those 16 hour shifts. (We're not a long term care center and its a frenetic pace.)
