I work in LTC at a SNF and we have 30 patients per nurse. Of these 30 patients we are to sign off that we do a full head to toe body audit (skin sweep) on approximately 10 of these patients per shift. Now lets be serious... How in the hell would it b...

Hey there :) I emailed you... I also wanted to let you know that I got an email from RUE today and they are offering 1 dollar down for a limited time.. I asked for more info so I will update you when I find out more! :) Erika

hahahahahahahhahahahahahahha he was a big spender... did the card decline?? you know.. since medicaid doesn't allow transfer of service lmao....

Now that is just scary! I am praying I never have this RN taking care of me lol

Wow... That one definitely deserves a DUHHHH award.. SMH!

Bonnie,Thanks so much for the info! I will look into it. I am glad to know I do not have to use college network

Thank you.. but really I didn't do anything special... I just did what I could with what I was dealt... I do appreciate your kind words but even though it may not seem like it.. there are plenty of great nurses out there who would have handled that s...

I couldn't have said it better myself! :)

Thank you all... i tried to use College Network before and they charged me thousands upon thousands of dollars and never even sent me any books or any information at all.. I hadn't heard a word from them in about a year and I thought maybe I didnt ge...

I have been an LPN in LTC for 8 years now.. I have only done SNF work since I graduated. I can honestly say that I know exactly where you are coming from. Every last word of what you said was true and it is sad.. I guess I can say I am lucky because...

I definitely have felt that way in some cases.. and does that make me a bad person? NO WAY!! The fact is that I would NEVER actually say what I am thinking if it was hurtful or mean in any way... But you cannot be human and say you are NEVER irritate...

annoying family members." NO! your 100 year old mom is not better than she was 90 minutes ago. She is still brain dead. can I get off the phone now?" "she's been here for years and I've never met you, and you wanna come in and scrutinize the staff." ...

I have been an LPN 8 years but I have only worked in 2 facilities during this time. Both facilities were completely different on what was required in daily documentation. I believe the facility where you work will have a guideline as to what is expe...

I can honestly say that I wake up Every day and I am happy to go to work! I know you probably think I am full of it but I seriously LOVE being a Nurse and I LOVE my job! Does that mean that I do not have bad days or days when I come home wanting to ...

This is probably going to sound incredibly dumb but what is RUE? I am currently an LPN and I am going to South University Online for my Bachelor in Health Science but that is only because I do not have pre req's.. I would like to find another option ...

I would add a little more.. You can use Word and they have templates that actually make it really easy to put together a great looking resume. It looks a little bare with just the job info.. Good Luck! Erika

I don't have a concrete answer but I can tell you a situation I was in. A patient at the LTC/REHAB facility where i work was on antihypertensive medication and her husband was POA. He disagreed with her medication dosage constantly and even changed d...

Here is the deal.. My LPN license expired July of 2005 (this year) and I need to renew and then transfer or whatever to practice in Pa. The reason I didn't bother is because I am 9 months pregnant and ready to have a baby so i figured i could do it l...

I just moved to Pa from Florida... Does anyone know how or where or anything for that matter about transferring my florida license to a pennsylvania license? Help??! Thanks

I worked in Palm beach county for a while and I would guess they are about the same so... I know that most hospitals pay a newly licensced LPN around 11-15 dollars per hour and most Nursing homes pay from 15-23 an hour. There is always the shift dif...

oh yes tons of 911 calls.. we got the pts that call 911 to go out to hospital because they "didn't want to bother the nurse" or the call then refuse to go out!

I have one guy who wears a texas cath who rings the call bell to find out which nurse is working, then rings to say his texas cath fell off.. Problem is it falls off constantly although TRUST ME we make sure that it is on SNUG!! His roomate has said ...

I think you are definitely right, the problem is truly depending on if the "catty" are the minority. I wish that was the case where I worked! Everyone seems to love gossip! I told like 2 people I was pregnant when i first found out.. I came in afte...

That may just help the situation. Although i think some people are just prone to acting that way and may continue anyway!

We have a lady where I work who is on 4.5 ml of Roxanol q1h and She needs it! Her whole face lights up when I walk in that facility because she knows I will be willing to give it as prescribed if she needs it, Which she does due to her diagnosis. But...
