  1. nurses,our ER system needs an overhaul.

    BrazoriaLVN replied to nobody067's topic in General Nursing

    Or you could be led on a stretcher back to the waiting room. What a waste of resources. You are at the ER already. Please trust the judgement of the triage

  2. Hope for people with a felony

    BrazoriaLVN replied to rnbsnmsn's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Thank you for sharing this. It was honorable of you in the first place to own up to your mistake, and I'm glad you are happy in your new

  3. I'm going to nursing school-That's nice, DO YOUR JOB

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    I hope no CNAs were offended by my post. Many are going on to be nurses, and that is awesome. A good CNA is worth their weight in

  4. Lunches: Brown bag or cafeteria?

    BrazoriaLVN replied to PediNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    I usually make a sandwich with pretzels and a bottled water or sometimes a hot pocket. I pack my lunch as soon as i get home from my previous shift! Odd as it sounds if I do it then and put a note...

  5. I'm going to nursing school-That's nice, DO YOUR JOB

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    It isn't offensive at all! I hope I didn't come across as if I was just complaining. I took the CNA aside and explained first of all that if a resident is having trouble breathing, I need to be told...

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Goodness We're going to restraint free-so no more lap buddies. I guess I like that because you should see the stuff they could stash between the buddy and their laps! Cart keys, silverware, and once...

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Good! Mine are in my shirt pocket-I hold on to them with my life! Our narc boxes on the carts have broken locks, so if you leave the cart unlocked gosh knows who could run off with them...then who...

  8. CNA troubles

    BrazoriaLVN replied to montinurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nobody said most CNA's are welfare mothers. The fact was stated that some CNAs that are forced into working do a bad job. I was a CNA and while I was not a "welfare mother," I knew a lot of people...

  9. LTC Emergencies - Not prepared!

    BrazoriaLVN replied to croppyRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I got 4 days as a new grad LVN. We have to check our crash cart every night against a checklist. We just now got a backboard(which was accidentally taken by EMS during a past code). Our nasal...

  10. Bedside report/hand off

    BrazoriaLVN replied to winter_green's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    At my LTC facility we are required to. Most of the residents are stable and rarely change, but we recently had an incident where a resident was found dead face down on the floor two hours after shift...

  11. Aids giving me trouble-what to do?

    BrazoriaLVN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I'm a new LVN that works at a LTC facility. I am having trouble with my CNA's. I am very familiar to the facility I am in, working there as an aide for 3 years. This time around, I work a...

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I actually noticed that error right after I clicked

  13. Aids giving me trouble-what to do?

    BrazoriaLVN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, management is VERY supportive(thank GOD). They have put up numerous notices to the CNA's that double diapering etc is grounds for immediate termination. It's just me being nervous about...
