  1. "If they really cared about their mom, they wouldn't of put her in a nursing home"

    enchantmentdis replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Right. My husband, for instance, has cared for his mother, who has dementia, for the past 12 years. He had her in an ALF for two years when she started physically attacking him--sold her house to keep...

  6. Nurses pictures on patients whiteboards???

    enchantmentdis replied to jibbs's topic in General Nursing

    Well, hell, Kaiser used to have us put our work cell phone numbers and pagers on the white board. How lovely to get calls while in the toilet from patients or family asking for water, blankets, trip...

  7. Nurses pictures on patients whiteboards???

    enchantmentdis replied to jibbs's topic in General Nursing

    Nice, then pt's and family members can just point to the nurse du jour who ****** them off when management visits. Gosh, i'm so glad i don't work in hospitals anymore. All the crap they dish out to...

  8. Does your facility allow the floor/unit nurses write up other nurses?

    enchantmentdis replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Emergency

    People are really sneaky. They want to write you up without confronting you and they want a manager to treat you like a child during the reprimand. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy about your fellow...

  9. Interesting situation in my interview for a job...

    enchantmentdis replied to alby_dangle's topic in General Nursing

    Wow!!! You are one tough

  10. Help, I am very conflicted about turning peer into nursing board

    enchantmentdis replied to auntie72's topic in General Nursing

    Are you in charge of this particular nurse? If not, is it really isn't your business how they are reprimanded? Also, how did you become privy to the information regarding the reprimands and that the...

  11. Scared of the docs!

    enchantmentdis replied to SweetseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate your response. Some folks just get off on their pat, inappropriate responses to another person's anguish. Right on for telling it like it

  12. Have you had a family complain about you no matter what you did or try?

    enchantmentdis replied to MsBlissful's topic in General Nursing

    And it's a shame that you have to live in fear all the time. I swear they don't even deserve our help half the

  14. Have you had a family complain about you no matter what you did or try?

    enchantmentdis replied to MsBlissful's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is very scary that just one complaint from a cruel family member can get a nurse fired. It has happened over and over. Family members rule the hospitals, which is why i left. There are far...

  15. Is it me or is hiring at Kaiser Permanente a joke?

    enchantmentdis replied to MsBlissful's topic in Nursing Career

    Be glad they didn't get back to you. Kaiser is extremely fussy, and working for them is an absolute nightmare. The only good thing about Kaiser is they pay very well, and with the way they treat their...

  16. COPD patient wanting to leave to smoke

    enchantmentdis replied to chris10lsuRN's topic in General Nursing

    Also, these idiots tend to fall, bash their heads open, can get hit by a car, etc....Guess who'se responsible then---the nurse, of course. Then they get x-rays, ct scans, a sitter, wow, the squeaky...

  17. COPD patient wanting to leave to smoke

    enchantmentdis replied to chris10lsuRN's topic in General Nursing

    My hubby is a smoker, had to have his gut ripped open from stem to stern when his appendix burst. He was awake and ambulatory on day two and thereafter upon admission to the hospital, and never asked...

    enchantmentdis replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    Yes, it is a word, and looks like you spelled it correctly. Kudos to

  19. Vent: "I should warn you, I'm a tough stick..."

    enchantmentdis replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    Conrad Murray sure likes that lidocaine for his sticks. But he asked for the lidocaine gel, ointment, whatever to be put in a more attractive tube for the gloved one. Rich folks--different than the...

  20. Vent: "I should warn you, I'm a tough stick..."

    enchantmentdis replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    I just don't think it's necessary to tell the nurse you are a tough stick. It's almost like the patient is challenging you to botch the procedure. As nurses we can tell right away if they're going to...

  21. It shouldn't have happened this way....

    enchantmentdis replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Hospice, Palliative

    In our hospice when a patient is imminent in an assisted living facility, RCFE, or home, we automatically put the pt on continuous care so they and their families are not alone, and so our hospice...

  22. CNA and death

    enchantmentdis replied to HurricaneCasRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is one CNA that should be seen and not heard. How dare he try to pull rank on you and add stress to an already stressful situation. Write the jerk up, remind him of his job description even if...

  23. day shift vs. night shift *vent*

    enchantmentdis replied to melmonlove's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's so nice to do hospice and not have to give report to other nurse's. I leave report on a machine and it's reported to the

  24. What's the easiest job you've ever had?

    enchantmentdis replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    One patient-oriented job i had was as a rehab assistant at a Center for Neuro Skills. Really, we babysat grown residents in their cottages, and documented in a folder everything they did. We also made...

  25. What's the easiest job you've ever had?

    enchantmentdis replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    Another easy job i had was as a dishwasher in a Denny's-like restaurant. Loved handwashing the large pots and adored the huge dishwashing
