    Seeking guidance on tricky situation

    Nascar nurse replied to Nascar nurse's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I see you indicate experience with legal nursing. Exactly who do I file a grievance with. This has turned into complete on the job harassment and refuse to let this guy put my license in jeopardy....

    Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    Nascar nurse replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Bullies everywhere. I personally decided to not even comment originally as I knew someone else would "slam" you for being wrong. It is a sad day when someone has to send a private message to...

    Are some states really laxed on their surveys?

    Nascar nurse replied to nd deb's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with you more than words can say. What nurse in their right mind went into this profession for the amount of stress involved. God forbid you miss an initial in one little paper out of the...

    Visitors: do they tend to be the same age as patient?

    Nascar nurse replied to KimGee's topic in General Nursing

    Seems an odd question. I'm 43..if I were to be in the hospital, my husband would visit (same age), my kids would visit (25+ years younger) and my parents would visit (25+ years

    Is that even legal?

    Nascar nurse replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    Ever had a hair stylist that looked like they just rolled out of bed and hadn't washed their hair in weeks - I have..yikes - you're not touching my hair! Even if it was discrimination and even if you...

    Need advice from an ADON or DON

    Nascar nurse replied to slrberry's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Go for it. Talk to your boss, explain your situation and, as someone else said, play "let's make a deal" with her. Do not give up an opportunity to further your education...life changes fast and you...

    Are some states really laxed on their surveys?

    Nascar nurse replied to nd deb's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    After 2 months..what do you think of the MDS 3.0?

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

    Rant away! I agree of some of the CAA triggers are just stupid...the continent resident that needs physical assist with toileting should be completely covered by the ADL

    Why Nurses Book Off Work

    Nascar nurse replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Why Nurses Book Off Work

    Nascar nurse replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    As a manager in LTC I find your comment interesting. I often address memos to a specific nurse and never..ever..use their credentials. BUT, I always sign my name and credentials. Do I do this as a...

    I keep getting hugged

    Nascar nurse replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    This man is completely A&O but his story became so outrageous that I was easily off the hook. "She put me in the basement, came down every hour just to laugh at me, wouldn't even bring me water...

    I keep getting hugged

    Nascar nurse replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    Here's the twist to the hug debate. I got suspended just this week. Accused of abuse of a resident (work in LTC). I have been a nurse for 25 years and TRUST ME, never once in all this time have I...

    I think you all would be amazed to find many of these same "bugs" on your shoes or clothing when coming home from any department store. I consider myself clean and closely follow handwashing...

    Nascar nurse replied to carolmaccas66's topic in General Nursing

    Nascar nurse replied to jessie26's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I love when they code my double amputee with no prosthesis as a 3/2 for walking. Also love the 3/3's for eating. I also tend to get a little sarcastic with them. "Hey, when you get ready to walk Mr...

    Can a LTC facility do this?

    Nascar nurse replied to bckthuzs1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Not sure...is this a question? If they qualify for an inpatient hospice center...they could go there. In my community we have only a very limited number of inpatient hospice beds therefore they only...

    dealing with confused patients

    Nascar nurse replied to sprintin08's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This reminds me of a demented little lady I took care of years ago. She had a big family outing coming up and a couple of us worked on sprucing her up for the occasion. We took great pains to do her...

    Nascar nurse replied to sprintin08's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I got "beat up" and flamed several years back for using the term therapeutic lies. OP, you will probably get many different opinions on this topic and it can get pretty heated. After 25+ years of...
