#1 question Are LPN's suppose to be doing ALL the paperwork on new admission(LTC)? We were taught otherwise in school. Yes, we are doing it all. Many times at 5pm or later. #2 question Should Behavior Residents be put in the same unit with Alzheimer...

You just described where I work to a tee. Until new Management or Ownership changes; nothing will change.I apparently replaced some very good Nurses that just got fed up. I know how they feel and am looking for better employment. Right now, I do many...

Hi I graduated past August for LPN. I finally found a job in a LTC. My question is they make us come in when a CNA calls in. Is this legal? I don't mind helping out but it doesn't look like they are trying to fix the call in problem. There are many. ...

I just went through the best shoe dilemma. I am now loving the Allegria brands. I have small and narrow feet and need lots of arch support. The extra bonus... they have lots of fun colors....They arent cheap....but youll pay awhole lot more for sick ...

Well said. We (floor nurse) trying to make management aware but no changes so far.

TEAM WORK. Hopefully you are able to get employeed with a LTC that actively portrays this ethic.

I agree They cant force you to clock out and finish work w/o pay. Time to move on.

Thank you. Charge Nurses are required to take call 1x week which is now averaging 2-3 every off days and for Charge Nurse call ins. A new time is in play for next MM at 6pm for nurses. CNAs will stay at 2pm since they are on 8 hr shifts. We will wait...

"Neglect" of the Residents and Associates. 1. Can Charge Nurses be written up for not coming in to cover a CNA call-in? 2. Can Associates be written up for missing Mandatory Meetings even though that Nurse worked all night until 730am...

Just want to share. I am presently night shift in a LTC in Georgia. I now realize how I ended up here. God's will. Neglect of the Elderly. With that said, I am actively advocating for them. I would like to add employees to that. Always gonna have wor...

Thank you. That's exactly the answer I needed. Already submitted with Ombudsman online. Will talk to Nurses Org. and see what to do. I've already been advised by friends (rn) to get out of there, I'm risking my license.

I too work in LTC. Horrible conditions due to poor management. I have reach my limit and my voice is falling on deaf ears. My goal now is too go higher up the chain (gov. corp etc.) I am tired of seeing neglect to the residents. Always a new flagged ...

Charge Nurse on 7pm-7am Shift Full-time at LTC/rehab. Didn't see the bad stuff until I started working. Things just keep getting worse. I am looking for other employment BUT I have to try to advocate for the residents and the associates. Management i...

Currently still LPN in LTC night shift. Conditions here are horrible!!!!!!!! Moral is rapidly on the decline........Good people are rapidly leaving and I'm not far behind. BUT I just can't leave without trying to help the residents and the other work...

Got LPNs training RNs that are fresh out of school. Trust me when I say very wet behind the ears. So it's not the paper that makes a Great Nurse. EXPERIENCE. The only reason I'm putting myself through more grueling classes; LPNs don't have the option...

Not new at the supervising but new LPN (50). CNA/House sitter too and did 15 peeps for 7.55hr). I expect the same ethics from those at work too. I work nights 7p-7a. I go into 3-11 cna then 11-7 cna. So I'm dealing with usually 4 different ones in my...

GaBON finally completed mine at 1000 I'm officially a nurse! WhoopWhoopWhoop! So the trick is legit. :w00t:

Would love to learn better ways to retain that type of info.

Wished I would have read your post earlier. I took mine yesterday. When it stopped at the mini ? My body kicked in with some serious anxiety, which I had joked I would do the day before. I also had to use ATI module throughout the program. Yes they w...

Thanks. That helps. So gladd I signed on. Helps to talk to others that totally understand how I feel. I went back in to GA BON website but it still says @ Exam Scores-Pass .............Pending. GOD Bless.:thankya:

Guess georgia not as fast. Took mine yesterday too. Did the trick and got the popup (which did help me calm down some). Just still having anxiety! A BIG CONGRATS TO YOU FOR PASSING. BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT.

:DHi ya'll. Took nclex-pn yesterday in savannah at 1130. WHEN IT QUIT AT 85 I HONESTLY STARTED HAVING A PANIC ATTACK:redbeathe! All the millions of practice questions (cramexam and ATI) I studied WERE NOT EVEN ON THAT TEST. Sure the style was there b...
