On average, how long does it take you to pass meds ?? I have 25pts and it takes me roughly anywhere between 2 1/2 to 3 hrs to pass all my meds ?? does this sound like a reasonable amount of time ? the other nurses on the other halls get done in 1 ...

I got the evil eye from several cna's today. And it had nothing to do with them. Another nurse (who only works prn and maybe once a month at that) was scheduled to work today. I was scheduled to work hall # 3, and she was scheduled to work hall # 2. ...

The company I work for has 2 facilities in the same city. The facility I am at now is nice, it was rough starting out and establishing my place being the new kid and all. I've been at this facility for a little over a year now. When I was hired I was...

Have you ever had a positive result and what did you have to do about it ??

yes I was kidding. I would never do that. But I did have a nurse suggest that to me. I for one would never do that to a res. nor would I do that to the CNA's no matter how many evil eyes i get. besides it's more work for me to have to give extra meds...

my certificate actually says certificate of training in IV therapy. I guess which basically means, i can start a peripheral IV and start certain meds. But there are still some that the RN has to do that I can't.

In my state, we get IV certified in school. So by the time we grad we are already IV cert.

Every CNA on the hall who has to tell you that so and so has a cough and you need to listen to her. Yes I'm sure I probably do, but I don't need every cna on the hall to tell me that in a matter of 5 min. then run and tell everyone i didn't do anythi...

anyone doing this ? how are you doing it ? On line or in the classroom ?? would like some info on it. I'm considering taking the on line approach.

I have a res. who is very combative, aggressive, loud, beligerent, and sexually inappropriate. He is his own responsible person. family will not take responsibility for him. Several times in the past he has not just hit the staff but beat them with o...

Well she's apparently precepting the other new nurses now. She had an orientee (not a new grad) the other night. and as far as seniority...I have been there a year now, she hasn't been there a month. And the nurses that have had to deal with her s...

we have recently got a lot of newly hired nurses. A couple of them are new grads, the others are more experinced nurses. One of the experinced nurses has a chip on her shoulder. Now she has been here maybe 2 wks. Just got off orientation. She has the...

I haven't had to deal with her to much. but some of the other nurses have, and these other nurses really go out of there way to make new employees feel comfortable, but when the new employee starts criticizing the preceptor's work and begins to act l...

I really think it's time for a change for me. I'm just getting really burnt out and I have to drag my self to work everyday. I feel that I'm putting my lic in jeopardy everyday I'm there.

So how will obamacare affect LTC reimbursements ?? I know that right now it is paid by the census of your facility. Will that continue with Obama Care ?? A resident was telling me that he was wanting to go spend a few days with his family, as he ofte...

I have a res. who is on continuous tube feedings. lately she has been so full that she has been vomiting and we have had to turn off her tube feeding. She has not had a BM in quite a few days, I was reading the nurses notes and seen where it was char...

There is a nurse on dayshift who's kids will come to the facility after school let out. you never knew they were there tho, they were so well behaved that i always figured they were visiting a resident.

We have a nurse manager who seems very demanding. One of those who feels that you should drop what you are doing and run when she calls. It's getting very frustrating for some of us. I mean she even had one of the nurses cussing in the med room about...

Will Obama care still reimburse the same way ?? based on census ??

Probably so. I am not sure why exactly he is there. Other than he was in the rehab unit for a time (generalized weakness) and then moved to LTC.

isn't that illegal to make you re-write your note and make everyone esle do there's to. that is unreal.
