  1. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

    Roman1 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I see this one documented all the time "floor matt down and next to bed". It's floor mat. I always want to say, so you put Matt on the

  2. Report Descrimination

    Roman1 replied to startingover2016's topic in General Nursing

    Based upon your previous posts, you are in a monitoring program and most likely have stipulations on your license. So I do not believe it is discrimination. I hope everything is still going well for,...

  3. Is this ethical?

    Roman1 replied to pumpkinspice's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I have experienced this also with some families. The family/ responsible party want the resident up for all activities. How I have dealt with it is by telling the responsible party that...

  4. 3 Med Errors in One Shift

    Roman1 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I know medication errors happen. We are human. As a newer nurse I am not naive enough to believe it will never happen to me. With that said I am concerned and upset about a PRN nurse that made 3 med...

  5. 3 Med Errors in One Shift

    Roman1 replied to Roman1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thank you for your input. I'll clarify some things that your responses asked. I was part of the RCA which is how I got involved in this, and I have previous RCA experience. Basically everything was...

  6. Hospice patient requests to smoke

    Roman1 replied to eatenalive365's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Red Kryptonite, (sorry can't quote from my phone) I agree with you. I wish the facility I worked for could have a designated hospice area, staffed with a hospice nurse and CNA. We at times can have...

  7. Hospice patient requests to smoke

    Roman1 replied to eatenalive365's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    When a resident enters into hospice care at the facility I work for, all charting/ I&O's/ notes etc are paper charted in a seperate hospice chart. Basically do not chart in the emr any more. Not...

  8. Cleveland Clinic New Grad Pay

    Roman1 replied to OUxPhys's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It is a little over $18/ hour during orientation. Then $24/hr. Night shift differential is $25/hr. Hope this

  9. Hospice patient requests to smoke

    Roman1 replied to eatenalive365's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Heron I understand what you are saying, yes constipation can cause pain and agitation. I should of added that the hospice nurse had been out that morning and had given a suppository and it was very...

  10. Hospice patient requests to smoke

    Roman1 replied to eatenalive365's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I can not like your post enough! I still work PRN at a skilled/LTC facility and deal with hospice resident's quite a bit. Recently had a resident actively dying with a lot of agitation, even on good...

  11. Frustrated With New Narcotic Rules

    Roman1 replied to Donnagg123's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I work PRN at a LTC and I know for new admits the discharge med list including prescriptions for any narcs are faxed or called into the pharmacy prior to the patient arriving. That way we are able to...

  12. child abuse question?

    Roman1 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with all the previous posters. That is a ridiculous question. Your instructor needs to give you a more detailed scenario. I have a 4 yr old and a 15 month old. Yesterday morning my 15 month...

  14. How do you deal with a bad clinical instructor?

    Roman1 replied to Lori215's topic in General Students

    Duskyjewel is absolutely correct with her post. Make sure everyone in your group does an evaluation. The nurses on your floor have noticed as well. The last thing your school wants besides a bad...

  15. How do you deal with a bad clinical instructor?

    Roman1 replied to Lori215's topic in General Students

    What is bothering me about your clinical situation, is that it takes your instructor 30-45 min to get you patient's. To me that is unacceptable. Your instructor should be there before you all arrive....

  16. My PT called 911

    Roman1 replied to joyful_wanderer's topic in Emergency

    Had a patient call 911 because we wouldn't give him ice cream! He called from the hospital phone, so the dispatcher called to let us

  17. I just lost my mom...now what? Seeking program advice.

    Roman1 replied to BruiserQueen's topic in General Students

    I am so sorry for your loss. Going part time may be your best option right now, and allow you the time you need to grieve and regain focus. Your mom is always with you and cheering you on in whatever...

  18. best i quit or fired story

    Roman1 replied to OnlinePersona's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my previous career I was a vet tech. The hospital manager asked me to come in her office so I could be with her when she had to fire one of the guy's, who worked in the kennel. This guy had only...

  19. If you accept a job, stay at least a year

    Roman1 replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I took the first job offer I received from a LTC. I needed a paycheck and experience. 2 weeks after being hired at the LTC I got an interview for cardiac step down at the hospital I wanted to work for...

  20. glimpses of the afterlife/nde

    Roman1 replied to ava246's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I recommend reading the book Final Gifts. It is written by a hospice nurse. I think it gives great insight and stories of what some hospice patient's experience at the end of life. Final Gifts:...

  21. Clinical Nurse Leader Experience

    Roman1 replied to hmcb36's topic in General Students

    I had an assignment like this. I had to shadow a nurse leader for the day, then write a paper about it. I followed a DON at a LTC. I explained her leadership role and her various responsibilities. I...

  22. Serious poop discussion

    Roman1 replied to Trenia's topic in General Students

    Well dude, yes everyone needs to have fun with sarcasm/ humor in life. But there is nothing humorous about any of your posts. You come off as rude, so go back to smelling your **** and have

  23. Serious poop discussion

    Roman1 replied to Trenia's topic in General Students

    your original post does not come off as being sarcasm. It sounds like someone who is being paranoid about their "poop" or someone who just wanted to post something stupid. Why don't you google how...

  24. Left and Right Job Interviews turned down!

    Roman1 replied to aqua05's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The OP will have concurrency issues (Theory and clinical time aren't concurrently done in her nursing program), so California will not let her sit for NCLEX. OP will have to take I think med/surg and...

  25. Passed NCLEX, got licensed...now what?

    Roman1 replied to FLboundBSN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes it does! Took me awhile to navigate through it and find
