  1. What's a "difficult pt" to you?

    alyiana replied to KRVRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your schizophrenic patient reminds me of one I had in LTC. She would yell the name of whoever she saw pass by (and she knew everybody's name) over and over again. When you want it to see what she...

  2. What's a "difficult pt" to you?

    alyiana replied to KRVRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Non-compliant and then complaining because there is no change. If you did what was suggested it would be

  3. Hospice nurse burnout: ER?

    alyiana posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am an RN with 2 years of nursing experience. My first job was in a nursing home because it was the only available job, but I loved it. The only reason why I left was because I was recruited by a...

  4. Hospice EMR

    alyiana replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    We use Consolo. It can be difficult to learn/use at times, but once you learn the program, it's pretty useful. It's designed only for Hospice, not for Hospice/home health like other programs, which...

  5. Family member complains after death...

    alyiana replied to AtlantaRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It's part of grief. We had a family member switch hospices a day before the death and then call a lawyer saying we caused the death. They didn't see her in the nursing home for several weeks. The CM...

  6. Hospice on-call schedule

    alyiana replied to fireball78's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I work for a small (growing) hospice of only 10 patients. I am the primary nurse for all patients, and we have a director who is a nurse but does not see patients. We take turns doing call (1 week on...

  7. Let's talk $$ for hospice. (Idea lifted from Agency nursing)

    alyiana replied to SuzieVN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Austin, TX I'm a Patient Care Coordinator, but my CM staff gets the following: It's same as I get for on call and any after hours visits $50 per visit $100 death/admission $50 a day for on call M-T...

  8. Approximate number of calls during on-call

    alyiana posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm new to hospice nursing, and it's what I've always wanted to do thus I'm really excited, but I would like more details about how many calls you receive. I would love to have a comparison for all...

  9. Approximate number of calls during on-call

    alyiana replied to alyiana's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thanks auntie. Currently our census is 3 patients and myself and another nurse will be the only ones taking call so it shouldn't be too bad now. After I get trained on basics she will progress into...

  10. If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

    alyiana replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A CNA is different job than an RN very much. I'm an RN, never worked as a CNA, and I don't have to help change people or wipe poop, I choose to "assist" the CNAs because they work hard and my...

  11. Name Badges Worn Backwards

    alyiana replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    It's it a requirement by the BON to have your name and title visible at all times? I work in LTC and our facility has ones that has our name on both sides, and at our change of shift meeting the DON,...

  12. Pharm Exam HELP!!

    alyiana replied to missk88's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Choice A gives the patient a choice. I can give this to you now as ordered or you can wait and I can see about getting a change. This leads way to the unspoken 3rd option. I can give it to you know...

  15. Took a really basic math test and failed it

    alyiana replied to truckinusa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Conversions are memorization. You need to know the formulas, for me it got easier after that one because then you had to work stuff

  16. Question about when to take the NCLEX

    alyiana replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated school in AL and moved to TX right away. I talked to my teachers and they said it didn't matter where I took it, but I would get an AL license and would have to transfer it to TX because I...

  17. Where do you Study?

    alyiana replied to Danielle318's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Bookstore, quite enough to focus, busy enough to keep me awake. Plus I like people watching in between sections because it breaks up the material without being a waste of

  18. B.S. in health science... can it lead to a career in nursing?

    alyiana replied to lb_eduvala's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't say too much about accelerated programs, but I have heard that they are a good option. I will say that as far as your science classes it depends on your state and school. I know some people...

  19. Fundamentals & using an alternative base source? Eliminating Potter & Perry.

    alyiana replied to TCool774's topic in General Students

    My suggestion is reading those BEFORE the lecture and the P&P after the lecture. That way you have a basic idea of the material before the lecture/quiz, and then you can read the in depth stuff...

  20. Surviving Nursing School and Marriage

    alyiana replied to bear14's topic in General Students

    Don't give up. That's the #1 piece of advice. Don't give up on your marriage #1 or school #2. Remember this is only temporary, and remind your husband that too. It may be rough for the two of you, but...

  21. Dual Licenses? LPN and RN?

    alyiana replied to SushiJoe's topic in General Students

    You cannot have 2 licenses. The RN can do everything the LPN can do and more so your LPN license would be invalid. I don't know if they would NOT hire you because you are an RN or not. I say still...

    alyiana replied to blinky's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am also a new-grad RN and am working in LTC. After 5 days of orientation on 3 out of 4 of our halls, I was stuck out on my own. Luckily I've been on the same hall since orientation. I have 28...

  23. Advice for Leaving RN Position

    alyiana replied to jbsmith4's topic in General Nursing

    14 months isn't too short of time to quit a job, especially with going to school. You could be honest with your supervisor and tell her that working even part time and going to school is just too...

  25. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    alyiana replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    As for the comments that "she's about to be an adult to make her own decisions" I disagree. I'm 24, I'm living in a different state than my parents, and I still listen to their opinions on things and...
