    CompleteUnknown replied to afteralltheseyears's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Great post, I love the bit I've bolded, care plans shouldn't be used (in my opinion) for things that are just common sense or are part of the job description anyway. If only everyone had as much...

    CompleteUnknown replied to afteralltheseyears's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think I can see what you're trying to achieve and it sounds like you're on the right track and yes, it's doable. I agree with you that most people want to do the right thing so perhaps it would be a...

    CompleteUnknown replied to afteralltheseyears's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Aha okay, it sounds like some documentation education would be a good idea. Is it in the LPN scope of practice to develop new care plans? Where I am, it generally must be the RN. Can you update or...

    CompleteUnknown replied to afteralltheseyears's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've looked at this a few times and think perhaps I'm not understanding your question, I'm not sure what you mean by give report using the resident's problem list. What sort of care plans are you...

  5. What to expect as a RN Nurse Supervisor role with no nursing exp.?

    CompleteUnknown replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    (Bolding mine) Even those of us with experience can have a great deal of trouble with our insurbordinates This just cracked me up and made my

  6. Do you remember everything from nursing school?

    CompleteUnknown replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Darkpk55, My comment may have been rather immature but we all have our moments of foolishness. Back in the days before nursing diagnoses, patients were still cared for appropriately but we tended...

  7. Do you remember everything from nursing school?

    CompleteUnknown replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Nursing

    Focusing on medical diagnosis and the care that correlates to specific diseases and conditions? Is sanity prevailing at long last? Is it really true? Oh please please please, let it be

  8. Any INTJ personality nurses out there...I need help in choosing any advance nursing car

    CompleteUnknown replied to BlackRN's topic in Nursing Career

    What gets me is nurses who don't realise the 'why are the villagers falling into the river' question even exists. And yep, when we leave it to others to figure it out, they come up with things like...

  9. Falls versus Culture Change

    CompleteUnknown replied to ejpip1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Residents like this are so challenging! We have used portable infra red motion sensors in this sort of situation. The difficulty is trying to position them where the beam will be broken when the...

  10. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    CompleteUnknown replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    I totally agree with you. I can't help thinking that an error like the one in your post wouldn't have occurred back in the dark ages when nurses mixed their own antibiotics. Or, at least, it wouldn't...

  11. Any INTJ personality nurses out there...I need help in choosing any advance nursing car

    CompleteUnknown replied to BlackRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Lol. You sure you've given it enough time? Another INTJ here. I always wanted to be a

  12. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    CompleteUnknown replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes just been catching up on this thread only to read that two of the posters are going all survivalist on

  13. Nurse suicide follows infant tragedy

    CompleteUnknown replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    This story breaks my heart too Esme12. As many have said, there but for the grace of God go any of us. I can't stop thinking about it. How do we as nurses deal with the possibility of making a...

  14. Terminated 15 mins after state left

    CompleteUnknown replied to newtress's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Wow newtress, sorry this happened to you. The whole thing sounds sickening. I can't understand why facilities like this don't realise that constant staff changes, especially in positions like yours,...

  15. What should I have done differently?

    CompleteUnknown replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there nurse dolphin :) I think you should try and separate the two issues even though they feel like one and the same. You've signed the contract now, first thing is to talk to the hospital and...

  16. Im doing my job,Im not part of your team

    CompleteUnknown replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Lol @ the lot of you. I'm now so practised at that tortured phrase you are trying to remember that I worry if my grandson's psyche is becoming damaged by his father's frequent use of the dreaded B...

  17. Contract Issue

    CompleteUnknown replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    I have no experience with contracts like this (thank heavens!), but this is an interesting point. Should not the terms and conditions specify how and when the employee is to pay the amount to the...

  18. Contract Issue

    CompleteUnknown replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    I do. Like I said before, I think it's horrifying. Lckrn2pa - I think it's post 15 where the OP says that it wasn't a sign-on bonus and that she didn't receive any money. She says she signed a...

  19. Contract Issue

    CompleteUnknown replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've gathered, the OP did not receive $10,000. She agreed to pay the hospital $10,000 if she leaves before the end of the contract period. I do agree with that 11 days is far too short a...

  20. Contract Issue

    CompleteUnknown replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    I find this horrifying. You have to pay the hospital $10,000 if you leave your position before the specified time?? Can I ask why you would sign a contract like this in the first

  21. With-holding resuscitation on pt in the absense of a signed DNR order form? What?!

    CompleteUnknown replied to Cat_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hahahaha. I thought exactly the same

    CompleteUnknown replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Huh? Why do you think the elderly will be limited in how often they can go to the

  23. New to nursing leadership and having some difficulty

    CompleteUnknown replied to nfdfiremedic's topic in General Nursing

    Hi ntdfiremedic, I feel for you! I've been in a similar situation a couple of times over the years (although not in the ED) and it's much much harder than you think it's going to be when you take it...

  24. Dear New Nurse - what makes an average nurse great.

    CompleteUnknown replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    What an amazing post. Much wisdom

  25. Drinks at the nurses station

    CompleteUnknown replied to rddsnurse's topic in Emergency

    We have a cold water fountain (with disposable cups) in each area and a centrally located break room with fridge and microwave, etc. There are enough water fountains that you can always get a drink...
