Sorry you're having a bad night. I hope and pray you didn't reinjure your back while you were trying to make one of your pt. comfortable . You sound as though you are very dedicated. If I'm ever in the hospital I certainly hope it you I run into, you...

I have been following your post. You had a tough decision to make and in my humble opinion you made the right one. I have lost two children. Children cannot be replaced. Sometimes without even knowing it we have a gut feeling something tragic may ha...
One who would tell their family that after eating the food in the Pt. pantry, not to hunt me down to tell me there's not enough variey, and ask me if I could find something else.
If and when you do find an ancient symbol it will more than likely resemble : a haggard woman in a cap carring a bedpan with a sign that says kick me I'm a nurse.lol
I think at some point we worked for the same nursing home. LOl. I agree with your Dad. It's sad to say but when you try to be ethical, uphold residents rights, and report abuse you are on your own. All I can tell you is that in the end you may not ha...
!. Coming in to work 11 to 7 and finding all 4 aides from 3 to 11 in the cafeteria, particapating in various activities, while the hall is lit up like a Christmas tree, no ice has been passed, and worst of all no HS snacks. They all proceed to tell y...

You and another student are hiding in a pt. bathroom squeezing urine out of your shoe for an I&O because the urinal was knocked off of the bed rail. The instructor catches you, informs you the results will not be accurate. By the way, she walked ...
I am so sorry you are so hurt. When some one wants something so badly you hate to see them think of themself as a failure. You are NOT a failure. You are having some set backs. Please! find Tutor365SON post from 1/23/05 @4:30 P.M. It was wonderful,...

Sounds like a tough situation. We had a couple of residents at one time that exhibited these behaviors. They had family members responding in the same manner as this man's dtr. We made it a policy to never enter these rooms alone. Two staff members ...

You are so right. The work in a LTC is stressing, tiring and backbreaking. Unfortunately it only takes one or two who are not pulling their weight. I could give you a list of horror stories about abuse, neglect, and just plain laziness. I have seen w...
