  1. What is the term for this condition?

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to Palpitations's topic in General Nursing

    Palpitations, It sounds to me like you need to wear the Holter Moniter for a day or two. Let us know what you do and what

  2. New Management Is Killing Me

    Chad_KY_SRNA posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The long term care facility where I work has just been sold to a major nationwide firm. They are making so many changes to policy and staffing. In the past we were a little 130 bed skilled nursing...

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to hampa's topic in School

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    I wish that I had more time to spend with my residents, so I could sit and listen to them tell their stories. They are really so very lonely and I can only afford a few minutes to spend with them and...

  9. Made to Falsify Documentation :(

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to shel_wny's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You are never to falsify a medical document, it is malpractice. That said, it is impossible to provide the appropriate level of care with the minimalist staffing policies. I work 2p-10p and this is...

  15. New Management Is Killing Me

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It is to the point of reducing resident care. I wouldn't want to be a resident in my facility. They have reduced the quality of care, food, care supplies, briefs, and staffing. I would rather work...

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  20. Depending on CNA's in LTC setting

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to caring worker's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    CNA's take a lot of crap from everyone. As they say $hit rolls down hill and it piles all over the CNA's. Some of us are doing the very best that we can and the few "bad" CNAs make us all look...

    Chad_KY_SRNA replied to Phenomenon's topic in General Nursing
