  2. LPN's just glorified nurse aids in LTC? Huh?

    estrogen replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    https://wws2.wa.gov/doh/hpqa-licensing/HPS6/Nursing/documents/LPN-ivtherapy.pdf I think this pretty much answers the IV medication question... At least for Washington

  3. LPN's just glorified nurse aids in LTC? Huh?

    estrogen replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, I'm the only nurse at nite... hence charge nurse also

  4. I may be losing my job because of an interview with another job, HELP!!!

    estrogen replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you might be worying yourself sick prematurely. Noone has the right to assume that you're taking a job, unless you specifically told them that you are taking a job. And even then, I would...

  5. What to do about CNA disputes?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You're right, I should have had her show me right then and there what she was talking about. I also should have told her to lower her tone immediately as she is not acting appropriately and residents...

  6. What to do about CNA disputes?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh yeah... and I would like to add. When I started three weeks ago, I thaugh that the pace was way slower here than in a hospital. Now, that I found out how much double and tripple charting I have to...

  7. Nursing notes what to keep or discard

    estrogen replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my! Fascist??? Please do me a personal favor and in the future refrain from strong words and offending accusations like this one. I would also suggest to look up the true deffiniton of this word....

  8. You can't go upside down when you menstruate?

    estrogen replied to jen42's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: Okay... we had a powder room then - you know a tiny little room with just a toilet and a little sink in it. the flower pot was in the hallway on the floor, right next to the door. It was...

  9. Did I jump the gun?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So guess what, everyone. I finally went back to work last night after four days off. The lady DID have a fractured hip and she is still in the hospital. I learned one thing besides trusting my nursing...

  10. sleeping disorder on night shift

    estrogen replied to lee22's topic in General Nursing

    ...I also found that it's all about psychology too. Before you're supposed to go to sleep after your shift, don't think "sleep", (it makes me anxious and stressed when I put pressure on myself to fall...

  11. Nursing notes what to keep or discard

    estrogen replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say just get rid of it all. I've yet to throw out my books (since I spent so much money for them) but I'm planning to do it. I've never looked anything up in them or my notes. The only thing I...

  12. Got chewed out by a doc, grrrr

    estrogen replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't it ironic that I got chewed out once for exactly the oposite reason? Suggesting that the med be held for a BP around the same??? :angryfire Supposedly this doc's pt's BP would skyrocket within...

  13. Tacoma Hospitals

    estrogen replied to mattsmom81's topic in Washington Nursing

    Puyallup med/surg: Days and Eve shifts 5 pts per 1 nurse plus you have a ADT nurse (admissions, dc's, transfers) plus charge nurse. On nights the ratio is 6 to 1 and charge nurse takes pt's as well. I...

  14. You can't go upside down when you menstruate?

    estrogen replied to jen42's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle All these stories are so funny....But I actually do believe I devirginized myself (I'm pretty sure that's not a word ) the first time I used a tampon. It hurt like he!! when I was pulling...

  15. You can't go upside down when you menstruate?

    estrogen replied to jen42's topic in General Nursing

    Well, all I can say is, that doing yoga on my period just doesn't feel as good as during other times (not just inversions), even though it never caused any real physical problems. It just doesn't feel...

  16. Did I jump the gun?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As I allready stated somewhere, husband was called, but didn't pick up the phone right away. Called back a couple hours later and didn't insist on transportations since she seemed stable and w/o pain...

  17. Did I jump the gun?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for that question chadash. I keep thinking about that bruise too ...I don't know if she hit her head. Matter of fact is, that I did find a small, pale bruise on her temple. Like I said...

  18. Move to WA or stay in CA?

    estrogen replied to kaiteeb61's topic in Washington Nursing

    I moved to WA (near Seattle) five years ago from Europe and absolutely fell in love with it here. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else anymore. Good luck wasup and KateeB61!

  19. Did I jump the gun?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree... I'm actually starting to think that they should have taken her. How they knew that she doesn't have a fracture anywhere in her body, I don't

  20. Did I jump the gun?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for this firendly, supportive and unassuming input and constructive criticism. :) Again, I appologize to anyone who took offense to my response to Daytonite. I was the only nurse on night...

  21. Did I jump the gun?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I appologize. I just got frustrated with her tone. I find you hear this sort of "I know, you don't" tone way too often in nursing... I found it to be derrogatory. but I responded, vented, and I'm over...

  22. Did I jump the gun?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What??? Excuse me, but as a nurse and as someone who undoubtedly took many BLS courses, you should know that you don't move someone, unless you are CERTAIN, that they don't have head/spinal cord...

  23. LTC - How "selective" is your charting?

    estrogen posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm new to LTC, just transitioned from med - surg. This one nurse, that claims to have been in LTC for about 8 years was trying to convince me that it's better to be "selective" in which events to...

  24. Pregnant Nurses - Any changes in duties?

    estrogen replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I was pregnant and working on med-surg my wonderful OB spelled it our very clearly for me: No heavy lifting (had wonderful co-workers back then who wouldn't let me do it anyway), no 1:1 duty in...

  25. LTC - How "selective" is your charting?

    estrogen replied to estrogen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks... I agree. I didn't think that was appropriate
