    Do you stop your medpass to "watch a pt"?

    Junebug903 replied to northmississippi's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yep, totally. Every shift for one specific woman usually. We all take turns for the most part. During our med pass, the CNAs pretty much exclusively watch her. The supervisor will sit at the desk and...

    I'M Done..I'm ready to walk away from Nursing

    Junebug903 replied to serenity03's topic in Nursing Career

    I did crisis care hospice for 13 months and it was a good break. However, I need to be more active in my nursing care. 1 to 1 is hard to do for 8-12hrs. I prefer to work my butt off during those hours...

    I'M Done..I'm ready to walk away from Nursing

    Junebug903 replied to serenity03's topic in Nursing Career

    I feel this way sometimes too. Nursing is **** in certain areas. I have been an LPN/LVN for 8 years. I do LTC/SNF/rehab..."customer service". Management does not back their employees most of the time....

    what are the conservatee rights in SNF?

    Junebug903 replied to tankee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I hate this. I just learned about this conservator thing 2 nights ago. I just returned from Japan and working again in California. The patients don't have ANY rights? I just don't get it. I don't care...

    Junebug903 replied to Kalipso's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I have been an LVN for almost 8 years and I am still not sure nursing is what I want to do. It sucks, especially when trying to figure out what you want to be when you grow up later in life is...

    Junebug903 replied to sarahjeanleach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been an LVN/LPN for 7.5 years. I hope to be in an LVN to RN program no later than January 2016. The Navy, getting my prereqs done, and finances are holding me back right now. It's been a long...

    "Right" way to pulls meds from cards?

    Junebug903 replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, taping is not ok. The difficulty with the "bingo" cards is that a lot of patients in LTC/SNFs take way too many meds and the cart becomes too full...and due to that, meds get popped out by the...
