  1. Need some advise....PLEASE!!

    Chin up replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's a lot. 20 is most you should have. But, maybe it depends on the type of floor. 30 is ridiculous for any floor, I salute

  2. New ADON needs advice

    Chin up replied to txdon's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    All dx are printed on every page in the MAR. when you do an admission, you only have to write them on the first page. We don't write them with each med, just the page. Narcotics and antipsychotics we...

  3. New ADON needs advice

    Chin up replied to txdon's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Wear, what she was wearing. Some dress up, some wear scrubs, most business casual. You sound like you will be doing staff development. If there is a SDC thread, go there. They can tell you which...

  4. Need some advise....PLEASE!!

    Chin up replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Nursing

    I did forget about admissions. I haven't worked 3-11 in years. But my memory on routine: 3-4 report, count, rounds. Make sure they are really alive and well! 4-4:30. FSBS and assessments on the...

  5. Need some advise....PLEASE!!

    Chin up replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Nursing

    I notice folks talking about 3-11 and admissions. Do you know the type of floor you will work on? Makes a difference with admissions. Also would you have a supervisor to help if you end up on a...

  6. I have a few things to say to some of the LTC staff I worked with yesterday!

    Chin up replied to juzme's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am very sorry for your loss. Take

  7. Need some advise....PLEASE!!

    Chin up replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Nursing

    I would never work for 14 dollars an hour. Especially a job I hate. But never as a nurse. The last time I made that money was in 1986. And it did not last long. You are worth so much more. Go to the...

  8. To ask or not to ask: Approach manager about a possible poor reference?

    Chin up replied to kimbalotz's topic in Nursing Career

    But an even better view. Thought it through and if her manager is blocking her, she is wrong. Now the facility is out a nurse completely and I don't blame her. She is doing the right thing.

  9. To ask or not to ask: Approach manager about a possible poor reference?

    Chin up replied to kimbalotz's topic in Nursing Career

    Great opposing view. Something to thing about.

  10. Just a small vent...thanks for listening.

    Chin up replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I like to think I already "paid my dues". I mean, I was in the trenches over 20 years. It's not my fault my body quit. But yes, I have tremendous respect for what she is doing. I remember the day I...

  11. I have a few things to say to some of the LTC staff I worked with yesterday!

    Chin up replied to juzme's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It has been a gradual process the last decade, but took off once the economy tanked in 2007/8. Corporate excuse, we need to save money because of the economy. Meanwhile they are making billions....

  12. Management Pay

    Chin up replied to QTNurseBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I just love this post! Thanks for writing! We need more managers with this attitude, hope those you mentored stayed true.

  13. Management Pay

    Chin up replied to QTNurseBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Stacy, Do you like the job? Do you want to continue working off shifts and holidays? Do you still like working the floor? These questions should aid your decision. As you stated, money isn't...

  14. Just a small vent...thanks for listening.

    Chin up replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was dizzy just reading it....I let out a big phew! Enjoy your day off!

  15. Whee! The People

    Chin up replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You really are a gifted writer. Have you started a novel yet. Nurse memoir?? If not, you need too.

  16. Appalled at LTC standards of nursing care

    Chin up replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Don't feel bad about writing what you experienced. You had valid questions. We LPN's can get defensive because of all the abuse unleashed on us. But those of us who know who we are and care about what...

  17. Night shift and mom RN's...will it be ok???

    Chin up replied to kimbalotz's topic in General Nursing

    Thats where Camp comes

  18. Appalled at LTC standards of nursing care

    Chin up replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As an MMQ/MDS coordinator, I expect every detail of character of wound. If not charted we don't get paid. When you see a need for intervention, of course, you need to act. Some nurses DO, think...

    Just a feeling...Staff development coordinator,

  20. Appalled at LTC standards of nursing care

    Chin up replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am actually glad you said you would stay and do things, the right way. LTC is in desperate need of strong RN's. You can be the change, that facility needs. Good

  21. Appalled at LTC standards of nursing care

    Chin up replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Dag Sasha, even for LTC your work load is much tooooo much!! Even for a night shift, wow. I wouldn't subject myself to that for too long. You are probably burnt out now...just don't realize it. Peace...

  22. Things noane told you about nursing

    Chin up replied to Aly529's topic in General Nursing

    Loved your post, but you can't force her to have a shower. She has a right to refuse. If you check her care plan, it is probably addressed. If not, you should address it.

  23. Appalled at LTC standards of nursing care

    Chin up replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As you stated, you have not worked in LTC. The place you are describing should be closed down. No, it is not the norm. I would not work there. In my state, if what you say is true, it would be shut...

  24. Have you ever worked as a state surveyor?

    Chin up replied to sasha2lady's topic in Nursing Career

    she means no initials. meds were not signed out. when you look at a mar, you will see a month of initials filled in for all three shifts. you may also see blanks dispersed throughout the mar on...

  25. Entrepreneurial Ideas for LPNs

    Chin up replied to MYRN2016's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Since you are leaning to LPN, go for it. It has been good to me for over 25 years. We rule LTC, so that is where you have to be willing to go. We have flexibility, good pay and all for 10 months of...
