  1. Assisted Living - What EMAR software do YOU use???

    SleeepyRN replied to OhioITNurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I loved Point Click Care in the LTC/SNF I worked at. There were so many unused functions though, only because we didn't get sufficient training on utilizing everything it has to

  3. Lazy supervisor stories

    SleeepyRN replied to Runninonempty's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You stood there for 45 minutes? There was NOTHING better you could have accomplished than stand there for 45 minutes to prove a point? If you already know the nurses are not answering call lights, it...

  4. Lazy supervisor stories

    SleeepyRN replied to Runninonempty's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Actually, I would find a thread about lazy floor nurses amusing as well. I knew it wouldn't take but a few posts before we got a response like

  5. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    SleeepyRN replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  6. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    SleeepyRN replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I was a tech, for a few years I had been going through major insomnia problems. Im talking not sleeping 3 days in a row, and then only getting a couple hours in before going a whole other day...

  7. I think my nurses are on the verge of mutiny!

    SleeepyRN replied to NurseGuyBri's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't have any real advice, but I come from a background having worked in a small family owned company before nursing. We were worked to the bone. What kept us going with the little we had to work...

  8. Resident nurse ratio question

    SleeepyRN replied to LH...RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is just so sad. And you know the place hypes up their "excellent care" to families looking for a place for mom and dad. I can't imagine working one day in those conditions. They are "working" on...

  9. Note from a new nurse to all the preceptors out there

    SleeepyRN replied to nikkole318's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OH yeah. Been there as the orientee. I've worked in 2 SNFs, and had different people training me every day. So I've had about 10 different nurses "train" me. A good 7 out of the 10 nurses were glad to...

  10. Note from a new nurse to all the preceptors out there

  13. Cops and Nurses

    SleeepyRN replied to GundeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was pulled over on my way to an interview last week. I had a suit on and the officer asked me where I was going. When I said the name of the place (medical building) and "interview" he let me go...

  14. Do you need all those degrees?

    SleeepyRN replied to dnsonthego's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    EXACTLY. I second

  15. Fired from my first nursing job, before one year

    SleeepyRN replied to mightynurse1's topic in General Nursing

    The words "I disagree" are disrespectful? On a forum where debate should be a good thing? Wow. Anyway, I agree with juraviel. OP cherry picked, highlighting her strengths, while glossing over the fact...

  16. Fired from my first nursing job, before one year

    SleeepyRN replied to mightynurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Confidence that you are progressing at a rate a new grad should is a good thing. But, I'm not hearing confidence. I'm hearing cockiness. You very well may have been progressing well. Honestly, you...

  17. what should I do for CODE BLUE

    SleeepyRN replied to Jennifer57351's topic in General Nursing

    At my old SNF, where residents went downstairs by themselves or with family at a little cafe type area, we were told if we found someone unresponsive, we had to run and look at the chart before doing...

  18. Auto reject application AGAIN?

    SleeepyRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if I could get some insight. The other night, I applied for a med/surg position online for Cadence Health. In less than an hour, I got an email stating "Thank you....but...

  21. Note from a new nurse to all the preceptors out there

    SleeepyRN replied to nikkole318's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Amen to that. I can see comments flooding in on how new grads act like they know it all (this has been addressed many a time on this site.) I sincerely doubt the majority of new grads feel entitled...

  22. Stupid, I know, but more bad representations of NURSES on tv!

  24. 1st RN interview at Willis-Knighton Health System in Shreveport, LA

    SleeepyRN replied to RNgirl33's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    I know I've been asked this in interviews before, but its been a while, so when I was asked this today at an interview, I was stumped. Q: Tell me a time when you went above and beyond for a...

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

    Hi there. While you don't have previous medical experience, do not discount all that customer service. The medical field is becoming more and more about customer service. I would take out your exact...
