    Chin up replied to Vedder316's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need further training. Hopefully your facility has an up to date training program, and on going in services. I would ask HR or staff development for techniques on dealing with this...

  3. The kiss of death: when you know you are about to get fired

    Chin up replied to fallinnstyle's topic in General Nursing

  4. The kiss of death: when you know you are about to get fired

    Chin up replied to fallinnstyle's topic in General Nursing

  5. HIPAA question

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

    This is the point of my post. She won't have to type one up, they have these at most facilities. They are usually full of pertinent information with room for her own notes.

    Chin up replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    Chin up replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    Chin up replied to codeblue20's topic in General Nursing

    Too funny. How do you know you are "far better at more outpatient or focused care" if you have only been working a month and never did it? Also what is a comfort decision...one you haven't tried yet?...
