  1. I'm allergic to.....(laundry list)!

    Leelee2 replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    I have witnessed this apathetic attitude with nursing also. Mistakes being made and staff shrug and say "oh well, we are not perfect, we all make mistakes" Hopefully karma kicks in for these staff,...

    Leelee2 replied to AA012's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  4. Interview left me speechless

    Leelee2 replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

    I would trust your initial impression, and your gut feelings. From what you describe, her comments are VERY unprofessional, name calling, uses actual staff names in stories, etc. Power trip much??...

  6. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    Leelee2 replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked the floor plenty of times as a tech when asked to do so. We are there to help, in whatever nursing type role is needed. Any LPN/RN who would refuse to do so, wouldn't be one that I...

    Leelee2 replied to miss_c's topic in General Nursing

  8. Okay I have a vent about the business of LTC

    Leelee2 replied to NCRN2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  9. What can a Grad LPN (no license) do?

    Leelee2 replied to nylpn2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You can work on a temporary license until you pass the test. You would be working as a GPN, and would work directly under the supervision of an RN. In my state, the RN must be in the building though...

  13. Is this within our scope of practice?

    Leelee2 replied to Peds_Nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We will do that also in our LTC place, but Only with an MD order. Don't think it is a great idea either, but with MD order it is ok, also a right of the resident, since this is considered their...

  15. Bed Alarms

    Leelee2 replied to LeloFallz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    " Falls are also affected by staffing. When we are short CNAs.. the bed alarms could still be functioning well and a fall is more likely to occur because they are busy in a room and not in their...

  16. Bed Alarms

    Leelee2 replied to LeloFallz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Leelee2 replied to gsmeagle2918's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, I once had a nurse attempt to "help out" one of my patients. Pt was just brought up to floor, from a different facility. Had pain issues, that we were working on, but needed to clear up...

    Leelee2 replied to 24 yrs and counting's topic in General Nursing

    Leelee2 replied to TipitiwichitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have also worked for a facility that did not want us to use the phrase "sorry, we are short staffed tonight"....Found a few ways around it. If patient is alert/orientated I use objective data....

  23. Considering becoming an LPN-need the dirty details

    Leelee2 replied to mrswarters's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    "But they'll say anything to get you to sign" True. As an LPN, direct patient care is still very much part of the job. I help people transfer, assist them in the bathroom, feed, etc. In some form...
