  1. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    SleeepyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are just confused and want to make the best choice for themselves. However, I don't think asking people online which way to go should greatly influence their decision. They need to think...

  4. not enough CNAs

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The irony of this post is that tonight we were short nurses. Pm shift. 3 halls. 2 nurses splitting one of the halls. This is a psych/skilled unit. Extremely challenging. So I was to have 55 residents...

  6. Mandatory flu shots????

    SleeepyRN replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Im well aware of mode of transmission. But I also don't hug and kiss my patients and eat off their tray like visitors do. Of course I have no evidence to back up my opinion; I don't really see how...

  7. pray, read the bible, but overwhelmed

    SleeepyRN posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I spend time with God each day, particularly before going to work. I'm 7 weeks into my job at an LTC/SNF. I pray for His guidance throughout work and that through His strength I care for my residents...

  11. pray, read the bible, but overwhelmed

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thank you for your post. I needed that reminder. I also thought about how I prayed on my way to work that I would be a blessing to others that day. Well, I had a resident who needed a blood draw from...

  13. Ranting on the New Grads

    SleeepyRN replied to RNGriffin's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    How incredibly presumptive. Just because someone is in tune with the reality of over saturation (Chicago here) doesn't mean we don't have the interpersonal skills to be successful during an...

  14. not enough CNAs

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I did not say ALL family questions are my last priority. Just the pillow fluffing type ones when im clearly busy. And if I meant that they are not a priority at all, I would have not even used the...

  15. CNA transitioning to RN

    SleeepyRN replied to einnil's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, not at all. I'm just saying to be prepared for the possibilities of some CNAs you used to get along with suddenly have a "who does she think she is" mentality. Plus, wherever you go, you will...

    Oh and believe me, lol, I was hauling butt. I was sooo thirsty but didnt have time to drink more than 2 cups of

  17. pray, read the bible, but overwhelmed

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    My surprise and defensiveness was more derived and aimed at/from the other poster. It was because she was palliative and a DNR. I didn't quite understand it myself. DNR doesn't mean do not treat....

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thank you very much

  19. pray, read the bible, but overwhelmed

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I spoke with the MD 4 times. He and I both wanted to send the resident out, but the famy refused. I am very good at delegating when there is someone to actually delegate to. It was the roughest night...

  20. pray, read the bible, but overwhelmed

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    And OF COURSE I'm trying to build a plan of action to get it all done. I'm brand new to this, and time management skills take TIME. Trial and error. I float to all units (200 residents) so it's...

  21. pray, read the bible, but overwhelmed

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    All I can is "WOW." 1: I specifically wrote in this section because it is the spirituality section. 2: I dont set aside time during work to pray. I silently say to God AS I AM WORKING "Father help...

  22. Ranting on the New Grads

    SleeepyRN replied to RNGriffin's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, and btw, I found your OP helpful for "some" new grads. The ones it helped are the ones that should know better without having to be told (resumes, interview apparel.) Sadly some DO need that...

  23. Ranting on the New Grads

    SleeepyRN replied to RNGriffin's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I understand your point. However, I myself am not overly sensitive to comments. Though I know MANY new grads are, which unfortunately helps give us all a bad name. Quite honestly, I used to be...

    SleeepyRN replied to mom-wife-nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sheesh.

  25. Mandatory flu shots????

    SleeepyRN replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Visitors are way more likely to get patients sick than staff who wash hands, use gloves, don't cough in their hands and touch everything, sanitize.... Keep in mind I previously stated that this is...
