  1. Things you'd like to say to your co-workers, but never would ....

    HisTreasure replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I celebrate Christmas too. Come to think of it, I celebrate Easter, Thanksgiving, Memorial's Day, Independence Day, birthdays, etc. Every year. I don't CARE that you have kids and "can't" work...

  2. Things you'd like to say to your co-workers, but never would ....

    HisTreasure replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I am not on a power trip, Ms. CNA, but it IS your job to fill the water pitchers and I would do it if I had the time to sit on the phone like you...unfortunately I have 42 residents to pass meds to...

  3. I want her fired!!!!

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    They are having a care planning meeting for the resident on Tuesday. Sister said that there was a notice stapled to all the unit nurses' paychecks today telling them that it was mandatory that they...

  4. What specialty do you plan to work?

    HisTreasure posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Our worlds are opening up, along with the opportunities, as we transition from the stagnation that is Practical Nursing into Registered Nursing. No:nurse::nurse:w we are faced with choices once...

  5. State required sexual aide for longterm care resident.

    HisTreasure replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. At first I thought the OP meant a CNA operating in a sexual capacity too. I am so relieved I wasn't the only

  6. Any LPN/EMTs in the building?

    HisTreasure posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is anyone here an EMT or First Responder in addition to being an LPN? If so, which did you do first and how do you feel the education of the EMT compares to the LPN education? My good friend wants...

  7. Who else doesnt plan on being an RN forever?

    HisTreasure replied to PiPhi2004's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am not an RN yet but I can completely understand the idea of not stagnating. As an LPN we often feel like we are underpaid, under appreciated, and under-utilized. Is this the reality for some?...

  8. State required sexual aide for longterm care resident.

    HisTreasure replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think when we start thinking about people in LTC we normally don't expect to have to care for their sexual needs. I think it is perfectly healthy for people of advanced age to have sexual needs and...

  9. I want her fired!!!!

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, not all aides close curtains when giving care to residents. I don't work in facilities very often any more unless it's through agency but that was a constant battle at my first LTC job....

  10. Um...wear gloves please

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I am guilty of that crime. I will leave work and jump in the car with all the baddies of my shift still on my clothes. I will go to the supermarket on the way home with nary a thought about what I may...

  11. Um...wear gloves please

    HisTreasure posted a topic in General Nursing

    Currently I am in private duty nursing with one wee one. The child is wonderful and his illness is burn related, not disease related. I was giving report to the day nurse two days ago, meanwhile she...

  12. Um...wear gloves please

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree for most tube feedings but when you are dealing with a mickey button, inserting and removing the tube at each flush and feeding it is prudent to wear gloves to decrease the incidence of...

  13. It seems some Nurses don't do much...?

    HisTreasure replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    There is often a lot of background work that nurses do that the general public doesn't see or acknowledge. The tasks you discuss are the ultimate responsibility of the RN/LPN but will often be...

  14. I want her fired!!!!

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: I totally agree about the different possibilities of why it may have looked as the family member alleges. I seriously doubt a person with any American training and hell, common sense,...

  15. Your Call Light is On Can I help YOU?

    HisTreasure replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    i am so sorry, but i am cracking up. i know death isn't funny by any stretch of the imagination, but i am picturing this guy with these colorful leads dangling and his butt flapping in the wind,...

  16. Your Call Light is On Can I help YOU?

    HisTreasure replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I saw that working as a GPN! My preceptor did the dressing change, thank God, but I nearly lost my lunch. I really contemplated that day whether I should sit the boards at all...I really wondered if...

  17. I want her fired!!!!

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    You raise a valid point. I certainly believe that if the aide is guilty of the alleged offenses she should be reprimanded. I don't know if she did or not provide insufficient or subpar care to the...

  18. Your Call Light is On Can I help YOU?

    HisTreasure replied to MrsMommaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Resident: Send the nurse in. Me: I am the nurse. What can I do for you? Resident: I need you. *Kiyasmom walks all the way down the hall to to resident's room* Me: Yes, Mrs. X, how may I help you?...

  19. I want her fired!!!!

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! My sister said that being an *** (donkey) must age you. The guy looked OLD, much older than his 66 year old mother (MS

  20. I want her fired!!!!

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    On the phone with Denise now. She says that the resident's daughter-in-law (wife of screaming jerk) saw the CNA use the same wash cloth on her MIL that she had just used on the resident's roommate....

  21. I want her fired!!!!

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    My sis ended up working a double (typical) and gets off at 11. Do believe ladies and gents, I will be calling her cell at 11:30 to find out what on earth the aide did and I will report

  22. Funny patient names by nurses

    HisTreasure replied to Kidrn911's topic in Emergency

    Had a peds client named Coriander. Yes, pronounced like the spice. I am not passing judgment. I am all for unique names. I just named my youngest daughter Kennedy.

  23. Baby Phat

    HisTreasure replied to eager1hasbegun's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    They are $19.99 at Allheart. I found some here locally for $17.99, the matching jackets for $24. They have some decent prices if you look around. I love the $6.99 tops too, but sometimes it's nice to...

  24. Do you say you're a nurse...

    HisTreasure replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You should be proud! Most certainly getting your RN is an amazing thing. This thread is not about downplaying the RN title nor is it about empowering the LPN. To me, this thread is about claiming...

  25. Time to Come Clean,,,,slips of the tongue

    HisTreasure replied to Calgon-take.me.away's topic in General Nursing

    In my first job I was floated to another unit. It was mid shift for this unit (I worked 8s, this was an 12h unit) so the nurse had written report and left it for me. She had reported on a resident...
