   Rejected by DCF

   Glycerine82 replied to B52's topic in Psychiatric

   I think family is definitely the best bet. if he doesn't want the help he has the right to live his life. The father with dementia on the other hand is probably an elder at risk.

   gender "issues"

   Glycerine82 replied to rac1's topic in Psychiatric

   Ummmmm what we know to be true is that gender dysphoria is very real. There are even folks who have two copies of Y or X in addition to the XX or XY they already have.

   BSN Program Dismissal

   Glycerine82 replied to gdoland4's topic in General Students

   They should allow you to start again, even if you have to wait until the next time it comes around. The thing about nursing school is it's more about learning the information and then applying it while teaching you how to critically think a...

   Is this legal?

   Glycerine82 replied to PeachyQueen's topic in General Nursing

   It's perfectly legal for you to accompany a patient although it's not legal for you to provide care while there so I'm not sure what the point would be. In terms of the lateness ask if you can meet the patient there

   Monthly edits with electronic records

   Glycerine82 posted a topic in Management

   I'm curious to know what others in skill nursing facilities are doing for their monthly "edits"? When it was paper, MAR/TAR edits were easy enough as everything was transcribed over to new order sheets. Given that the electronic MAR generate...

    Help! Paraplegic residents wanting to have sex. What are the legal requirements here?

    Glycerine82 replied to MrsLPN1983's topic in Geriatric

    I would say you have to provide privacy and thats about it. If they can't get the parts to go together on their own accord that would be a safety issue and not something OT can really partake in.

    Patients demanding a singleroom.

    Glycerine82 replied to RMHRehab's topic in Management

    I've solved this problem by really considering where I place people and making changes when/if needed. We don't have a single except for one isolation room and I explain. Then I usually crack a joke or two and promise to win them over. Usually I ...

    DON

    Glycerine82 replied to sammy_rn's topic in LTC Directors

    Often times the providers want someone to accompany. I usually ask the family to meet them there, if they aren't able and I have to I will send someone but in the case of someone A&O x4 who is comfortable going alone thats certainly permissible.

    Inevitable Resignation

    Glycerine82 replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    Morphine in therapeutic doses absolutely does not kill people. Any medication CAN kill someone, of course. There are always adverse reactions and drug/drug interactions but I was speaking to the intended use of the medication in the setting of hosp...
