I really began to think I was losing my mind. Then, I came on here because I KNOW BETTER. So glad to have people like you. Thank you for the support and the
If you are missing the outrage at a nurse bringing alcohol from home and giving it to a vulnerable adult without a doctor's order? Then I have no words for you especially as a DON with 30+ years of...
I WAS talking to my co-workers about the situation. You assume that I was talking to them about the nurse that was involved. I did not witness it. But I asked the nurse involved how it happened...
I can only laugh out loud as I read this, especially the part where you write: "It reads as someone who life has a few hard lessons to teach". haaaahahahaaahhahaha HAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA HAAAAAAAHAHAHA Oh...
No. Not worth it. This software requires that I type a longer answer so I'll just say it again, No, not worth it. Life is short and it's even shorter if you spend most of it behind the wheel of...

I can't believe i found this thread!!! I'm running with scissors!!! I'm so happy i'm shouting in all caps!! Apparently the software for this forum prevents all caps so I'll just have to pretend it...
OH YOU MAKE ME LAUGH!!!! My pulse quickened and my cheeks were flushed when I read your response! I've always wanted a soul mate but I've been around the block more times than the Girl Scouts...
Often times when we read something we can infer that there is a 'tone' to what was written. As I re-read my original post, I don't see anywhere in that text that I have suggested a "Gotcha" mentality,...
Well, reading this was very interesting. Human behavior fascinates me. So much always seems to be lost or misunderstood on forums like this. It's fun to watch that's for sure. I didn't hear this...
The legalities of this are soon going to catch up with the unbelievable haste to accept it. Currently there is very little 'evidence' that any of it works. It's a big fad and it's a four billion...
I agree with you!! She was VERY afraid. She had told another co-worker about it prior to coming to me and she was told, "Oh that's been going on for ten years and we tell the DON and she does NOTHING...
I'm sure glad you didn't miss it because they sure did where I work! My co-workers kept saying, "Well if the resident has a doctor's order for it, what's the problem?" I just shake my head. (The...
I think you are giving managers FAR too much credit for being intelligent enough to plot out keeping us divided and conquered. One of the main problems I've seen is that facilities hire "In-house" and...
Staffing/nurse pt. ratios. The only solution that I see is either legislation or social media pressure. In my humble opinion; increasing staff is the single greatest intervention in preventing falls...
I LOVE THIS PHOTO!!! Saving it. So here's what I did. I snuck outside and made sure this nurse's car was unlocked. Then I grabbed two big bags of fermenting BM and urine filled briefs and I hid them...
Ah, but you see, you maybe missed the part about bringing the beer FROM HOME. People just don't seem to be understanding that part. Every facility I have ever worked in has orders for one patient or...
You have a good point here Sour Lemon, so I'll explain more. The person who came to me was a scared and angry C.N.A who was very worried about the resident and what she had just witnessed. She knew...
