    Spoke with the manager and feeling less confident with care..

    tyvin replied to sn543's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I just want to say "Bravo!" ... it's really an eye opener when you're asked to do something illegal isn't it ... then something goes wrong and you're hung to dry. Never give in, always stay true to...

    tyvin replied to sn543's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is a safe place to vent ... but to tell her I think will not be a good idea. Why would you want to tell her that you told the entire internet world of nurses what a hard nosed, harsh, Draconian...

    Its too low?

    tyvin replied to lifein08's topic in General Nursing

    Where I am there is no difference in pay. All the ER nurses take part-time in the LTC places for extra money (overachievers LOL). We all make the same and all the places stand with the union

    feeling like I'm a loser

    tyvin replied to nola1202's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    United we stand blah blah ... loyalty went out decades ago. You're romanticizing the idea of loyalty and it's not reality. I understand how you want to be loyal but it's killing you. I know how you...

    Does anyone ever get hired in the future?

    tyvin replied to Blackcat99's topic in Nursing Career

    I do think it's part of the game but I know many places will keep the resumes on file for a year. What you do during that time to bring attention to yourself is up to

    Central line dressing changes

    tyvin replied to Chieif20's topic in General Nursing

    I know I'm out of line here but why spend money to see if your employees are honest? Don't they think RNs practice in the scope they are required? Do they really think RNs cheat to save time with...

    TB RESULT HELLPPPP!!!

    tyvin replied to Nato408's topic in General Nursing

    I've lived in the US all my life as well and tested positive but didn't take the drugs to try and clear it. You are not required to (please remember that). As long as your Xray is clear there's...

    Who can be my notary when I apply for CVS?

    tyvin replied to Guangxiwu's topic in International Nursing

    Go online and do a search for a notary public in your area. They're everywhere ... banks, out of their houses etc... They charge starting at $5 or more to verify a signature on a document or what you...

    tyvin replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well........................................yes this happened to me exactly as your situation. It all depends of what type of management you have. Are they supportive, is there a union, have others...

    Med Admin. question

    tyvin replied to GretaRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Anyone who has worked in LTC knows what the score is when it comes to med administration. You will see many things done differently in LTC. When she gave the bp med at 22:00 why didn't you ask for the...

    tyvin replied to aoobennett's topic in Texas Nursing

    MD not present for code??

    tyvin replied to shhhh's topic in General Nursing

    An incident report should have been initiated. Those types of things don't go in a patients chart. Bad

    Forgot to renew my BLS!

    tyvin replied to pumpkin's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live you don't have to take the whole thing over. Mine expired for a little while (hospitalized for surgery) and all I had to do was a recertification class. I am the exception; right

    Things happen very quickly sometimes. I commend you for getting the order for comfort. In most cases feedings are stopped to help the actively dying patient. It is actually better in most cases when...

    tyvin replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    He is a convicted rapist and has convictions related to domestic violence as well. He's a scumbag. I followed the rape trial and he's a real jewel. To have him represent nurses or whatever he's doing...

    Just got a job but not happy with it... what to do?

    tyvin replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    I would go for the assisted living position. You will be exposed to meds which is a good thing. It seems like a step in the right direction. You already know what a CNA does though I agree you...
