I work the skilled unit 7pm -7a in a LTC facilityand I have 40 patients. At times. I have help to passing pills from 7p-11pm but this is not the norm. Most times , I work by myself with 3 CNAs

LMAO! Sent my son with Dad to ER with history and they asked him She's a nurse isn't she? LOL

On your days off ,you should be given orientation and get familiar with the paperwork and the med cart which is going to take some days to learn itself. One time during the holidays there was a call out and it took the DON and the Asst. DON on one ...

I don't know about you but I have bills to pay such as rent and utilities and without going back to school Im not going to get a job paying me 23.00/hr. I cant live off of 10.00 an hour so I stay miserable. Where are you working that's not miserable ...

I myself started nursing when I was young and naive and didn't have the balls to speak up for myself. I lacked confidence because I was a new nurse and didn't have required the skill set yet to be autonomous so I relied on my "coworkers" to " show...

If you are a Christian, I believe that you must not stand down because someone denounces Christ. I may not be right but I always pray with my patients, ask God to have mercy on their souls and then ask them if they have taken Jesus Christ as their p...

You just started in nursing. Get back to me in 2 yrs, if it takes that long for the rose colored glasses to break LOL Hilarious! We're miserable for a reason.

I'm going through hell right now on my job because of politics. Please try to get this poll out there its the same thing Iv'e been saying tor years . Management keeps pushing more and more on us and its unsafe for the patients!

Hi, contact HR first and then if no results corporate. You do not have to interact with anyone other that work related interactions. Right now , Im going through the same thing.

Skiilled patients get charted on every shift. falls=incident report and nurses notes, Falls are charted on 3 days unless there is an injury then we chart until the injury is resolved. Antibiotics until course finished and then s/p 3 days for any ...

After a week of not sending a patient out (he didn't look good at all ) On change of shift they found him unresponsive and had to call a code. Of course, it was swept under the rug that the nurses delayed treatment

Are both of you in VA sounds like you work at my facility?

The Holy Grail of the Nurse---CYA Because management will always hang you out to dry!

I work at a crappy facility. Sometimes 5 admissions a day all on the 3-11 shift. At best at times the supervisor will help and other LpNs volunteer to help. Most times the nurses that have admissions don't leave until after 2am in the morning. As f...

Ive worked at many facilities where the CNA scheduler had more power than the Lpns. It seemed like they were in mgmt.

It might surprise you but there are people out there that dont wash for anything! Your patient that got up on that table probably hadn't washed since the baby was conceived LOL

Sounds like you interviewed at my job! That was horrible the way you were treated, I hope this doesn't make you feel like it was your fault. Im glad you didnt get that job because that's how they treat and talk to their employees. I would call and ...

Haters! They were jealous; I get so tired of babying my CNAs ...I luv you and I appreciate what you do== But if your tired of wiping a*&^* go back to school! We as nurses get sh*&^D on too! Lpns complain about unit managers too. Everybod...

As a hospice nurse all I can say is it changes you, I mean your outlook on life! Your patient was blessed to have you there with her

The truth sets me free THE MONEY!

If you short of staff 3 CNA's on a floor with a bunch of fallers who wear alarms How you gonna do rounds and as a nurse do my work if all the alarms keep going off, Ive got a high risk faller sitting at the desk with me in w/c cause they can't keep t...

DEPENDING on what floor i'm on, I can have 60 patients 30 skilled and the locked unit (dementia unit), or 60 on a separate skilled unit I pray that when I work no one falls, my Cna's don't " forget " to tell me about any skin tears, falls, or chang...

You better be happy you got diapers, they want us to leave diapers off at night then the cnas have to change the whole bed sometimes we don't have linen Truth be told!
