    Craziest PDN/PDN Venting Thread

    Adele_Michal7 posted a topic in Private Duty

    I looked in here, and other places, and didn't see a sole thread dedicated to the madness that is PDN. As PDN's we go through... Well, a variety of experiences. Let's just say we could write one heck...

    Wall of Shame

    Adele_Michal7 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    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...

    Sundowning?

    Adele_Michal7 posted a topic in Private Duty

    I'm sure many of you are familiar with the term "sundowning." Has anyone observed this phenomenon in the pediatric home care population? Is that possible? I know it's more commonly associated with...

    Signs You Won't Pass A Survey

    Adele_Michal7 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My coworkers and I were talking about state surveys. A question came up: What are the top signs you're working in a facility that won't pass it's upcoming survey? I know it might sound like a weird...

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

    Misusing the low paid nurse

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Saraz23's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

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

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Bedside_Life RN's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Double Shift

    Adele_Michal7 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Do any of you work in facilities where pulling a double (16 hours) is common? If you do, and you're scheduled to report after the double (for instance you worked 0790-2300 and then are scheduled for...

    Directors covering open shifts

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

    Adele_Michal7 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    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
