  1. When to leave school?

    amoLucia replied to nursex23's topic in School

  2. Asked To Change My Nursing Note...

    amoLucia replied to Cdonocdo's topic in General Nursing

    This has always surprised me in that just about everyone knows that an incident report WILL BE generated, usually because facility P&P will require it. So if everyone already knows that there prob...

  4. Best place and shift time for new CNA

    amoLucia replied to CobraFan89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hannah - the OP is a CNA. And new without experience. But as a nurse, I agree, 3-11 was better. Altho today's practices seem to lean heavily towards 3-11 admissions. Hospitals get a discharge...

    amoLucia replied to LindaC1's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I'm lucky I even know how to spell out MDS! I did it soooooo many years ago. It's all pretty much a foreign language to me now. That's why I said I was guessing. I am impressed with you folk who...

    amoLucia replied to caretakerofkids's topic in School

  8. Wondering if RN could help with interview paper for school

    amoLucia replied to Astefko's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    amoLucia replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I visited a NH once where there had a 'memory monument' for recently expired residents. Nice photos/pix with names and short brief biography was posted also. It was mounted behind a wall glass case in...

    amoLucia replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing

    Moon - just my point. Don't know the 'employee status' of that physician. But she was treating that pt when she was attacked. Police responded and the story made the TV news. That story just piqued my...

    amoLucia replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    amoLucia replied to Inaniel_88's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yellownurse15 - have you checked out your job description? Do you do direct shift change with other supers? What do they ask of you? Can they give you some pointers? Sometimes you just have...

    amoLucia replied to sooyoon09's topic in General Specialties

    OP - sadly, respondents here may not be aware of what supplies are available in Korea. That's a handicap for us here. Also, without knowing how your health care system works is an EXTREME...

    amoLucia replied to Guest856929's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Karen - I ALMOST agree with you here. I find the post sarcastic and pithy in its own way. But it's just content being presented in a way no really different than so many others here. It's just been...
