    The facility I work has the MCR residents spread throughout the facility. That being said, we do have a particular wing that is higher acuity but the same amount of staff to care for it. I'm PRN so I...

  3. Advice for first job in a SNF?

    PankaD89 replied to StaceFace1122's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ok I've checked it out my quote is for an annual premium, so does that mean I only have to pay that small amount once a year to protect my license?! If so, that is MORE than worth it!! Awesome

  5. I am not Superwoman

    PankaD89 replied to WldChrry's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would have had a FIT over the Tamiflu alone, never mind everything else. I'm not going to administer a drug that isn't ordered & you better bet I'm gonna have someone helping me enter 40+...

  6. Good nurse vs bad nurse

    PankaD89 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Does anyone else constantly have this battle with themselves? Some days I leave work feeling like I was a good nurse who made a difference but then other days I leave feeling like a complete failure....

  7. Good nurse vs bad nurse

    PankaD89 replied to PankaD89's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  10. Problems/Issues Encountered as an Director of Nursing

    PankaD89 replied to Healthcaresolutions's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I absolutely agree about the morale & keeping staff happy with their job. Obviously not everyone will be happy with their job or situation, you can't help that. But just prove you care, get out...

  12. Do all of your LTC charts have face sheets?

    PankaD89 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The facility I work at uses computer charting but we also have hard charts that we file orders, labs, etc. in & we have face sheets for both! I can't imagine having quick access to that info, I...

    PankaD89 replied to PankaD89's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. And I'm not dependent on outside kudos, I know they're few & far between. But I do always give it my best & I know that's all I can do....

  14. Good nurse vs bad nurse

    PankaD89 replied to PankaD89's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from everyone I work with so I think I am pretty hard on myself. I just expect quality care for each resident & for everything to get done, and be done...
