    I always say for personal reasons, even though I have used mental health
  16. This is the way it should be! I like the way it is there. I will ask the NM assistant about it tomorrow. I'm just so freaking happy with this new job that I don't want to stir up any
  17. I totally agree. I used to precept nurses at my old job ( used to be a nurse in LTC) and when I was off it was up to management and staffing to assign my orientee to another nurse... This is crazy!...

  23. New Graduate ADN needs advice about job offers

    First, welcome to All nurses!!!! So glad to have you. I have worked in both settings and agree that option B would give you a greater skill set than LTC. LTC is not a dead in. While you won't utilize...
  24. How can you neglect a patient and live with yourself?

    First, let me say that I acknowledge your feelings and understand your need to vent. Now for my two cents: There are two sides to a story. If it was neglect I don't codone it at all. In LTC the...

    I love pens! I'm easy to please, lol. Get me a pen from pharmacy or another vendor and I'm a happy camper. Maybe you can give gift cards or buy a luncheon. I used to work full time as a school...
