  1. Loving my new job in LTC...but...

    Chin up replied to nursingcares's topic in General Nursing

    You are getting psych experience and also organizational skills. Do you want to stay in psych...then this will most definitely help you. Besides I don't understand the logic, if you never work until...

  2. False Documentation

    Chin up replied to redroses13's topic in General Nursing

    Has she been contacted by the state BON? If not, this may never have been reported to them. Her facility may have terminated her, cleaned it up and swept it under the rug. Unless you can provide more...

  3. shadowing a nurse leader

    Chin up replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, ask her what you want to know and why it works...I bet there are a million things you want to know and why some actions are effective and why some are not.

  4. would you apply for this job?

    Chin up replied to pretty70's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You should never share a narcotic draw. They can put two narcotic drawers, with two different keys in the third cart. Then you each will have a cart and an additional draw, you are responsible for....

  5. The Roll of a LVN in California Hospitals.

    Chin up replied to Weebee's topic in California Nursing

    Boston hospitals don't want LPN's, or even AD RN's. During the great (RN) shortage of the 80's and 90's, LPN's were employed in all the major hospitals in many roles. That is when the ANA, wishing to...

  6. Giving pts. medications to take home at discharge

    Chin up replied to TorsadesDePointesRN's topic in General Nursing

    We send meds home all the time. Including narcotics. I live in Mass. The rationale, they paid for them, they own them. We do teaching first and co-sign them out with the patient. I think this saves a...

    Chin up replied to lv2brn's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, Absolutely,

  8. What to do???

    Chin up replied to MommaRN86's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sorry dear, but that is insubordination. You can write them up. Me, I would tell them to punch out and go home. I have no use for disrespect, and will not, put up with it. At my age we don't take that...

  9. ANGRY...venting

    Chin up replied to DizzyLizzyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    All pure garbage. You already know the job. Even though you just got or will get your RN, in long term care, you are Not new. I am noticing a trend in LTC, to hire LPN's as unit managers. And the...

  10. A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

    Chin up replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    If you make a big deal about it, you are giving credibility to it. Forget about it. Any nut can call any of our bosses and make up things. Also, she is not to discuss you with Joe Smoe for privacy...

  11. Who else is a 2-year RN new grad at a Magnet Hospital??

    Chin up replied to indreams84's topic in General Nursing

    Chin up replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your passion is great! I know you will get there! The certificate was just your first step, you will make many more. I promise. I never thought I would get my JD, but it is now, at 51,knocking at...

  13. Rocephin Question

    Chin up replied to janat's topic in General Nursing

    Once mixed with lido, I always divide and give each cheek, equal treatment...even though you are sticking twice, they like it better that

  14. Feeling Horrible as a new grad

    Chin up replied to Hulababe169's topic in General Nursing

    I am proud of you! Hope there are more nurses out there like you. You care and have integrity. That is why you are beating yourself up. Now it is time to stop, and remember no one knows, or remembers...

  15. Therapy for me....

    Chin up replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My second attempt. First vanished. Anyway.. I am not an ob-gyn nurse. But I feel you more than you know. We have the same story. I never ever wanted to be a nurse, I wanted to be a scientist and cure...

  16. Had an interview today-wanted to share with unemployed nurses

    Chin up replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    What punkydoodles said. I hope you got excited about wound care. Even if you don't have experience, passion about wounds would have sold him since that is what they

  17. Need some career advice

    Chin up replied to Nire83's topic in General Nursing

    You should leave and take the twenty hour position. Your family is important to you and you will not be happy being out of the house much more than that. I always worked 16-24 hours when my kids were...

  18. What do you do when......

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

    Nurse managers in LTC are there for paper compliance. They really have no power over schedules, work loads, staffing, etc. Back in the day, nurse managers were Managers, but that has slowly changed...

  19. Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

    Chin up replied to JusBeinANur's topic in General Nursing

    They will not call the police. The police couldn't do anything, nor want too. They could report you to the state, but no administrator worth her salt, wants the state near their building. I may add,...

  20. How to approach this?

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

    :lol2::lol2::lol2:::................................

  21. How to approach this?

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

    I would voice my concerns to the night nurse. Then I would give the CNA another chance. The night nurse should speak to her, teach her and keep an eye on her. That CNA, may not think she has done...

  22. I need a job!! ANY job!

    Chin up replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

  23. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    Chin up replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, such an awesome resource. I suggest required reading for some of the outrages claims being posted. Thank

  24. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    Chin up replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    That link did not show anything. Again, you are raising straw men and knocking them down. I tried to be nice in my last post, but you would rather a child not have a good home, than have one. There...

  25. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    Chin up replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is great and maybe an organization you can commit too. Of course, it is a far cry from your original question, which is, Should Second hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?...
