Well said!!!!!!!

I agree that whatever was said to you was Inappropriate, but if someone said to be “all gays should die, and I was in fact gay” I would immediately report it. It sounds as though there was some tit for tat here.

WOW!......I think the point was made quite clear. In skilled nursing. The nurses should not just hold an order. If they feel as thought the BP is too low they must call a provider for approval, and she didn’t seem to be criticizing. smile! She is not judging. Her tone is quite clear. She is asking for advice and guidance.

I have several resident who are used to seeing family daily, weekly etc. We are constantly doing FaceTime. Big difference from the human interaction they are used too. It’s a joke really.

I said the same thing. Wear a mask. If you want to protect your family. Keep them home

Go. Wear a mask. Leave the family home.

Really????? We don’t even get a chance to pee! So if there is some birthday cake. I’m getting some!

This reads like a diary entry.......I mean really. Seems like you have some maturing to do. Welcome to nursing.

Mind your own business!

Sadly this is what our world has come to. When people are truly I pain. They cannot get pain relief! I had a c-section! And was not given anything when discharged. I was shocked! Stomach cut wide open and nothing.

Thanks Karen, really not the point, but I hope it makes you feel better that you noticed that.

Thank you! 100%

Thank you! I can’t believe two nurse actually said “store”! My mind was blown !

I’m the first one to say we have triage and of course we will save the 20 year old over the 95 year old who has a DNR, but it’s does mean we just thrown them to the waste line, and please stop saying “Store them!” What an awful word to use.

And that means they should die before their time, and no it’s not a place to STORE them. They aren’t furniture.

I just read an article about a New Jersey nursing home that was storing a body in the shed, and when police arrived they discovered 17 bodies in a small morgue meant for 4 bodies. All around my state I keep hearing all residents and staff positive along with several deaths at each facility already. Mind you this isn't in the news! LTC/CCRC are a small community and word gets out. When did the generation that helped build this country become to expendable? Yes, us LTC nurse might not be on the front line, but we are fighting a silent battle, and no one can hear us. The amazing nurses who are on the front line can barely get proper PPE . So how can we? Imagine the virus coming into your home. Thats what it is like for these residents. We are their salvation, but might also be their end....Stay strong everyone!!

How are all the LTC nurse doing out there!! What are some things your facilities are doing to protect staff and residents. Our place went on lock down pretty early, but were are a huge CCRC, and sadly some of our IL resident aren't taking this seriously and continue to leave on a regular basis. I just feel like we are sitting on a ticking time bomb, and just one positive case could do some serious damage.

I’m currently only every other weekend. I’m not picking up any extra hours. I feel very guilty that my coworkers are suffering, but I have to also think of my family.

Simple-mind your own business. Seriously the BON for topical ointment.....

Unless you are 1,000% sure I would recommend minding your own business.

Wow! It doesn’t matter how long the OP was a nurse. They were still a NURSE. Useless response.

Don’t beat yourself up! That’s how we learn. Trust me I’m sure your going to ask more and more “stupid” questions while learning, and than will come the day when you school the doctor! That’s a great feeling! Hahah

Because management sucks and always blames nursing ???

The description of the events is not general and could easily be uncoverexuncovered

This is pretty detailed. I would consider removing the post. Unless you want hippa issue as well...
