  1. What do you think constitutes insubordination?

    nightengalegoddess replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Had to respond again. Everyone has given wonderful advice! This is always one of my challenges. I have a serious face when I'm serious, and it can come off aggressive..(of course if a man were...

  2. Is it ok to wait a couple days before you accept job offer?

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

  3. What do you think constitutes insubordination?

    nightengalegoddess replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, my gosh. I can't even stand to read through every reply! As an RN I have run into this so often. Usually, management seems to side with CNA's! Saying something like," you can not order the CNA to...

  4. Is it ok to wait a couple days before you accept job offer?

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    Just asking, why so amazed? Not really too odd, I don't think to have a couple or more job offers at one time for an experienced RN. Know new grads are really having a hard time. So, I am wondering,...

  8. Breaking out of LTC

    nightengalegoddess replied to mehitabela's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest signing on PRN at a hospital. Also amping up your resume with specifics about what it is you have done which resembles Med-Surg work. It sounds as if you have maybe..run I'vs, used...

  9. Have you ever worked as a state surveyor?

    nightengalegoddess replied to sasha2lady's topic in Nursing Career

    I guess there are no RN surveyors on this site? Maybe they don't have the same needs for support as the other areas of nursing? Still waiting...would love to know how they got their positions...I've...

  11. Appalled at LTC standards of nursing care

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would try and complete orientation in hopes something may reveal itself to me to be of worth in pursuing. And not downing LPNs at all...just stating facts of this situation. Know that there are also...

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks, you guys. I guess I just wouldn't dream of doing a complex dressing change without charting every detail of character of wound...for one thing. I am also wondering, when you see a need for...

  13. Have you ever worked as a state surveyor?

    nightengalegoddess replied to sasha2lady's topic in Nursing Career

    Surveyors come in all types...rude, caring, helpful, angry...outright snotty. I am very close to a former surveyor. He made a point of being compassionate and patient with the RNs, knowing that they...

    nightengalegoddess replied to sasha2lady's topic in Nursing Career

    Great question! Would love to get into this area! Please, tell us how! We find things every day to improve upon and this can cause us trouble in the working environment! Good for a sharp eye to be a...

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Good advice. So glad to hear this is not the norm. Think I will do my orientation, do the work the way I know it should be done, and take my check and run. Thank

  16. London Company sells breast milk ice-cream

    nightengalegoddess replied to TiffyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Anything to make a buck, I guess. Are the donators screened for drug use? Why can't the milk be sent to starving nations or given to disenfranchised babies? This is

  17. what is it like to be an assistant director of nursing

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    nightengalegoddess replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to add something personal. A dear friend passed at home after hospice (at home). His ex-wife's last loving acts for him, and she did this with such tenderness, was to fashion his long...

  20. What is it like to be ADON

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Also want to add that I am hoping I will be able to work at the bedside at times...the job stated unit manager duties involved. I do still love bedside

  21. What is it like to be ADON

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    My inpatient rehab had a lot of complex patients with multiple co-morbidities. True, have never worked in an LTC, but did some case management and dealt with LTC's only in that way. The facility also...

  22. Do you bag your bodies naked?

    nightengalegoddess replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    Death represents a lot of things to a lot of people. I personally woudn't mind being naked in a body bag at all; there are plenty of nudists in the world who feel clothing is undignified. But I do...

    nightengalegoddess replied to mozella's topic in General Nursing

    Do you guys have a "values hotline" at your facility? I've heard in the US it is mandatory to have this hotline to annonymously report illegal, unethical, unfair issues which management is pushing. I...
