    Reporting Neglect in Home Health

    nursel56 replied to Sherriblu's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Not sure why you added "doors were locked" and "relatively childproof" to your question since the only thing we do know is that the family is already being monitored by CPS, the mother was sleeping...

    Reporting Neglect in Home Health

    nursel56 replied to Sherriblu's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree it's probably your legal and the way I see it your ethical obligation. You can check your own state laws on that but the fact that there is already an open case on the family is all you need...

    yikes! new nurse/old nurse conflict

    nursel56 replied to JoI8815's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What an awful thing to have happen so soon on the job! I think it's pretty clear that if you show up for work in this lady's domain without some sort of remediation regarding what happened it won't...

    Willing to move across country, help?

    nursel56 replied to hardkorthree's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wasn't part of your original thread but congrats! When people come back to share their success story it provides a road map with ideas other people can

    Very Unprofessional....

    nursel56 replied to Whoatemyburger's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm really sorry that happened to you. There is no excuse for it, and in your case I wouldn't be offended if you required your nurses to have their hands cultured before they got near you. For the...

    Very Unprofessional....

    nursel56 replied to Whoatemyburger's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That isn't true. At least not in my experience. Maybe you think caps are ridiculous, and I think scripting and forcing nurses to wear a button that says "ask me if I washed my hands" is

    Nursing Shortage & Me...

    nursel56 replied to J3w3lz88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For reporting in the popular media reports that state there is a nursing shortage or assume it to be true run about thirty to one and that is not by accident. Around here we talk about it for people...

    Very Unprofessional....

    nursel56 replied to Whoatemyburger's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wasn't focussed so much on what the other nurses didn't do but what you did do. Nobody else that has posted here was there and heard the tone the reporting nurse used, which seems to be the crux of...

    Very Unprofessional....

    nursel56 replied to Whoatemyburger's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you so much for doing that. As I've shared here before, my severely alcoholic dad died under similar circumstances. Several days later I was able to talk to a nurse who was working that night....

    Nurses who believe in herbal nonsense, alternative medicine, anti vaccine etc

    nursel56 replied to mhy12784's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It always amazes me when people argue about things that lay in the thought realm, like prayer and whether or not someone "cares". Since it's not possible for one person to know the truth and if they...

    You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    nursel56 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    If someone states that a non-nurse is "doing a great job" based on observation of that person proficiently carrying out tasks they might be short-selling the value of nurses vs any UAP generally, they...

    Pediatric PDN skills are not "marketable"?

    nursel56 replied to GlossyViolet's topic in Private Duty

    I agree with everything 2ndcareerchange said, and it's not hot here and I got a decent amount of sleep last night...:-D Glossyviolet I understand wanting to be challenged by multiple patients and...

    Does everyone get this but me?

    nursel56 replied to leekaye's topic in General Students

    I had self-confidence issues as a student as well. A few things I've discovered along the way...intelligence and seeming to breeze through "skills" often aren't connected and it's highly likely that...

    I Miss Nursing

    nursel56 replied to Cricket183's topic in Retired Nurses

    (((Cricket))). Hugs to you. There isn't much to say that hasn't been said by my eloquent friends already. I'm not out entirely from working, but I can say that interacting with other nurses and...

    Nurses who believe in herbal nonsense, alternative medicine, anti vaccine etc

    nursel56 replied to mhy12784's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think it's all nonsense and nursing itself acknowledges this with some nursing diagnoses and interpretations included in the broad specialty of holistic health. It is because the alternative...

    Fired over neglect

    nursel56 replied to monkey2012's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think that if you want to convince the top guy to let you step down you will have to avoid the impulse to talk about how terrible the company is, how many other people were fired and why, etc. Find...

    Nurse Manager Is A Bully

    nursel56 replied to Cardiolyte's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just want to highlight the advice to immediately stop talking to your co-workers about this issue even if they seem supportive. The atmosphere sounds very much like the only job I ever had that I...

    Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    nursel56 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Threads will stray off course, sometimes but I think this one is overall one of the least contentious on this topic that I've seen. As long as people stick to the TOS it can run as long as people...

    Baby Friendly- getting a tad over the top

    nursel56 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think I saw both sides of this issue as both a leader of new mom/baby support groups covering a variety of topics and an active member of LLL and one bad snowstorm away from starting the process to...

    I don't want to work in LTC... Will someone change my attitude?

    nursel56 replied to firefly101's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This ranks high on the list of things that have been upended in the last 5 to 7 years. It harkens back to the days when nurses graduated and decided where they would like to work. Another would be...

    Why can't I do everything a RN does as a LPN? We should be equal.

    nursel56 replied to SweetPoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Maybe you'll have better luck elsewhere. If you are trying to solicit allnurses readers/menbers to form an outside advocacy group of some kind, you'll find that likely terms of service will hamper...
