  1. showering residents on third shift??

    nursehaley91 replied to ricksyone's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I used to work 3rd shift and all our residents that we were responsible for getting ready in the morning included showers. We had a lady who would shower every morning at 3 am because that's when she...

  2. Working the holidays

    nursehaley91 replied to Karebear29's topic in General Nursing

    I work in LTC. For Christmas, I printed out little homemade cards from the computer with all nursing staffs signatures on it. Last night, the overnight girls went around during room checks and placed...

  5. Day Shift Drama

    nursehaley91 replied to Despareux's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Day shift would be a DREAM for me. I'm a 22 year old single mom who is in school once again. But I absolutely refuse to take a day shift position where I work for that very reason. Our day shift group...

  9. Earning Respect from Staff

    nursehaley91 replied to RJSnowRN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Coming from a facility where favoritism is quite prevalent, I think the best thing you can do is show respect. Treat each one of your workers the same as you would the next. Staff morale is TERRIBLE...

  10. Violent/combative residents?

    nursehaley91 replied to nursehaley91's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Resident returned to our facility today. And all We got out of it was a PRN order for Ativan, through which daughter and son will not allow Us to administer unless first contacted. What kind of BS is...

  13. Applying for FNP too soon?

    nursehaley91 replied to stickit34's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I, as well, just finished my first semester of NP school. I went right after I finished my bachelors and haven't regretted it one single bit. Best decision I ever

  14. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    nursehaley91 replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm sorry, but the last thing on my mind while going through chest X-rays, CT scans, blood work, constantly having nurses in and out of your room asking you a million questions, and the like, would be...

  15. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    nursehaley91 replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I live several hours away from any family. I was rushed to the ER after actually passing out at work while attending a meeting at our facility so they were more than aware of my situation. I only saw...

  16. Would you accept this call out excuse?

    nursehaley91 replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My workplace is god awful with call offs. If you're a day shift favorite then you have free will to call out whenever. If you are not one of the "chosen ones" then you better have 5 medical excuses...

  17. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    nursehaley91 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    thank you. My mama was my absolute best friend. I find myself talking to her all the time. Especially after nights like those, but I've seemed to break my habit of calling strangers wanting her

  18. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    nursehaley91 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    My mom passed away last summer very suddenly. I had been having an extremely difficult time with it, as to be expected. This past spring, I had just got off a midnight shift where I had just released...

  19. Possible burn out

    nursehaley91 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think I'm going through a burn out. I've been at the same LTC facility for almost 4 years now. First as a CNA and then as a nurse. I love my residents, I really do. But I'm becoming increasingly...

  20. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    nursehaley91 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I don't work in the ER, but I have one of those silly things that I have came into the ER for. It was about 4 in the morning and I had went outside because my SO who was in Afghanistan called me so I...

  21. Small rant

    nursehaley91 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Okay, so maybe it's a little more than a small rant. I work in LTC, more specifically an assisted living facility. I love what I do, and I just adore my residents but I'm becoming increasingly burned...

  22. Question from a third shift nurse....

    nursehaley91 replied to BrandonLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I currently work at a facility which has a similar mentality, except third shift is to get up not one, but 3 people (as in, fully dressed, toileted, and showered on shower days.) on top of doing your...
