  6. OU LPN to BSN program

    nurse100 replied to nurse100's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I had to do quite a bit of studying just because I have spent the last 14 years in long term care. I really had to focus on peds and maternity. I think that they were a lot easier than I expected but...

  7. OU LPN to BSN program

    nurse100 replied to nurse100's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Thanks, I will let you know how it goes. I do recommend that you take the NLN's as soon as you get out of LPN school even if you have a lot of prereq's to work on. The tests were a lot easier than I...

    nurse100 replied to McArdle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I had a similar situation happen, except I witnessed verbal abuse. I reported it to the DON and Administrator and NOTHING was done! If I EVER witness any type of abuse again, report it, and nothing is...

  12. Staff eating with residents

    nurse100 replied to Inquisitive one's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I truly did not mean to imply that I wanted to make a facility "look pretty". It was unfortunate that the Eden program failed to do what it was intended to do for LTC. Hopefull, the greenhouse...

    nurse100 replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was working in LTC, passing medications. We had a patient (I'll call Jane) actively dying who was one of our "spunky" patients. Her daughter was a frequent visitor so we all knew her well. I was...

  15. Snf Or Hh?

    nurse100 replied to lisa41rn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I haven't done Hh, but plenty of SNF. To be honest, you won't find a whole lot of difference between LTC and SNF except SNF requires more documentation :-) and some of the patients eventually get to...

    nurse100 replied to Inquisitive one's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I do understand your feelings on these issues. And I respect your opinion. However, its not just the issue of staff eating with our residents. Its having the time and opportunity to do normal everyday...

    nurse100 replied to Inquisitive one's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree that it will take Administration opening their pockets, changing the current structure of our LTC's both physically and developing a new staff structure. But it can be done. We should be the...

  18. MDS Coordinator salaries

    nurse100 replied to Nascar nurse's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

  19. Staff eating with residents

    nurse100 replied to Inquisitive one's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My facility is also "experimenting" with culture change. I think some nurses cannot imagine residents and Staff eating together because they have not been provided with the "vision" of the future of...

  24. Take LPN exam a semester before graduating from RN program?

    nurse100 replied to mattmend's topic in LPN to RN

    I would recommend taking it. Even if you don't work as an LPN, it would give you an opportunity to get the "feel" for the NCLEX Exam! Good
