1. discovered and reported falsification of VS

   DusktilDawn replied to traumaRNdrama's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   In reading Ruby's post it's also obvious that the nurse did not notice for approximately 6 hours that the patient was dead. Without knowing all the circumstances involved, 6 hours for a nurse not to...

2. How do you respond to a resident who gets attention by pretending to be in pain?

   DusktilDawn replied to HoneyDinkley's topic in General Nursing

   Actually I think if a question like this comes up in an interview, they are not looking for "inform the nurse" as the only answer. Interview questions like this are designed to see what kind of...

3. I hate my phone

   DusktilDawn replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

   First off I would check what your facility's policy is regarding schedule changes once the schedule is posted. Second I would discuss with HR what constitutes your agreeing/accepting a change in your...

4. Trifling, tricky, 2 faced cnas!!. what to do what to do??

   DusktilDawn replied to sasha2lady's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   I tend to question the motives of people that provide "gossipy" information. I have had the misfortune to work with a few people that would relay comments taken out of context in order to spread...

5. Frustrated

   DusktilDawn replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

   Almost sounds like we work at the same place!! We just replaced paper charting with the most user unfriendly computer charting possible! It takes 2-3 times longer to chart the most simple of things...

6. In what department do you not wipe the backside?

   DusktilDawn replied to mirgadia05's topic in General Nursing

   What the nurses on this board see is that there is NO BENEFIT for the patient to have to unnecessarily wait for someone else to provide proper skin care to incontinent patients. What you don't seem...

7. Why am I responsible for the dirty blanket???

   They'd probably be referred back to the

8. Social Service Director and Housekeeping Supervisor's Ideas About Resident Rights...

   DusktilDawn replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Well, what I'd like to know is how unfair the housekeeping supervisor would think it is for someone in respiratory distress to die because the nurse is playing pedicurist? The sad part is you're...

9. Social Service Director and Housekeeping Supervisor's Ideas About Resident Rights...

   DusktilDawn replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   I think you've missed the point of the OP. In fact the OP stated that their understanding was that making a resident wait an UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR NO REASON for something was a violation....

10. How do you deal with an insensitive CNA?

    DusktilDawn replied to arelle68's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Your statement that she feels like she is firmly in charge of the unit and that she basically tells the other CNAs what to do etc. sums up the big issue you have with the CNA. She appears to be...

11. Hateful LTC Staff...How Should I deal With It?

    DusktilDawn replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Leslie, you should talk to your manager about what has been going on along with documentation. I think your manager needs to go higher than the DON at this facility. Obviously the...

12. I want her fired!!!!

    DusktilDawn replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Wooh was reprimanded because somehow (telepathy, astral projection, global warming??) she gave the impression she wasn't there to a family member that wasn't there, despite the facts to the contrary...

13. wacko cna

    DusktilDawn replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    SBONs tend to stay away from employee/employer or work place issue type conflicts. Even if this wack job filed a complaint with the SBON, I doubt you'll hear from them regarding this matter. Basically...

14. This is really getting under my skin

    DusktilDawn replied to jennjen512's topic in General Nursing

    I think contacting the BON is the right thing to do. This person equates her limited training to that of a licensed nurse,has too high of an elevated opinion of her medical knowledge and "nurse"...
