Well, just to update everyone. I was offered the position! So I am super excited to say the least. NM went to bat for me as they needed two staff members and then they put a freeze on the job. HR called today stated I wouldn't start until at least Ma...

Thanks, Interview next week!

Thanks JeckRN. The position would be in the Altoona, Blair County VA, so I don't think it would be any different than the rates you have up there. That pay rate would be acceptable for me at this point.......:yelclap: Thanks

HI, I work at a facility that has 124 beds. There is one RNAC and a Care Plan Coordinator who also does the IDT meetings and insurance updates. With all the recent changes the RNAC needs help badly. How do any of your facilities staff per number of r...

There are two nurses in the office one does, careplans, updates, idt meetings etc. Then the RNAC does all of the rest. How would you adjust this to meet their needs or how would you divide duties and then justify adding additional staff members.

Also, there is a new medication out for use in place of coumadin call pradaxa. We have had two residents recently started on it and have had GI Bleeds. According to their doctor and literature, it cause 20% more gi bleeds than warfarin.

Well first of all good luck and Congratulations. You need to be confident in your nursing skills and assessments. You also need to develop a relationship with your staff and physicians of respect and knowledge. You need to gain a knowledge of the fac...

Hello, Thanks for all the comments. I have decided not to take the job that was offered to me after talking with the nurse that was leaving that I had previously worked with on occassion when I floated to her floor at her previous job. She stated sh...

Fe3 Sorry to hear of this. Yes you may have been the last to remove Ambien from the Pyxis but you certainly was not the last person to use the PYXIS. Anyone could have accessed that same drawer and removed their desired medication for their pt and th...

HI, I am new to LTC and working as a supervisor has been a drastic change to say the least especially since I work weekends night shift. My question is in the subject of the dying process. What would you do if there was an acute change in resident...

How do you deal with the nasty comments, nit picking, back stabbing tattle tales at your facility?

Hi, How often do you nurses go in to work a shift when called at home? I do a weekend shift 3 12 hr shifts Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The hospital has called me almost everyday this week wanting me to come in and work for call offs busy etc. Tues...

I would suggest that she actually sees a physician whom specializes in wound care. They may have some alternatives to the wound vac. I could ask numerous questions about the type of wound but this could be a long response then. Does it drain much, wh...
