    Considering LTC in the future

    SE_BSN_RN replied to iwillact's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I didn't start the original thread, so it wasn't my question. I was just stating what I see in my facility, and in my facility, my DON gets 2 bonuses a year. But, no one bothered to ask how I would...

    Questions for Current NPs

    SE_BSN_RN replied to JesseMJ's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So, even though you have a MSN you can still work at the bedside as a "regular" RN? Or does is depend on the state you live in? Or just whatever track of MSN you decide to take? I suppose that is a...

    nice. even don's can't answer a simple question....that seems to be a trend. i didn't ask for that suggestion. you have no idea where i work and what i see. how i see management treat staff and see...

    You are missing my whole point. I believe I asked you a specific question in my original reply, and you haven't addressed it yet. Again, I work for a huge corporation whose bottom line is money...not...

    Shoulder dystocia

    SE_BSN_RN replied to mormor's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My second son had shoulder dystocia....I knew exactly what was happening when I heard my doc say "We need more nurses in here," and my nurse began pushing on me...and I began to push as hard as I...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to iwillact's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    So tell me, then....you are a DON, right? If the bottom line is not money.....LTC is mostly for profit, correct, unless they are privately owned....and even then, come on, you can't tell me its not...

    Am I crazy, because this seems VERY WRONG...

    I agree. It's a tough situation. And frustrating. But soon, it will all be over, and we can say we

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    No, a BSN student is not higher in education, because we haven't obtained that degree yet. A student BSN can not call herself a BSN, that is illegal. Just like an LPN who is a student RN can not call...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    whoa, wait a minute. we don't know if the op is already an lpn. a bsn student has no authority to "discuss that with the lpn, help her understand and learn what you know...." i am an lpn and a bsn...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to iwillact's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I know you addressed this to Deb, but let me tell you as a nurse on the floor you will be run ragged. You will be expected to do things that are nearly impossible....and not always safe. Staffing is...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, you are right, I think it is the norm. A lot of the new BSN grads hired at my facility said the same thing. And you do learn a lot on the job faster than in the clinical setting. We...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    The OP didn't say if she was already doing a LPN-BSN or a full 4 year BSN but you older RN's need to understand.......if we are LPN's doing a BSN program, we have to be working as a LPN to be in the...

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    Sounds like my school. 16 months and I will be done with my BSN. My clinicals are crappy. I gave 3 meds, 2 baths and answered call lights. We had to fill out a 5-10 page paper on the diagnoses, and...

    I want you to come work with me. I want to do the same thing but I won't finish my BSN till 2013. I want to make things better in my facility but that looks impossible right now. I can tell you what...

    Don't You Just Want To Scream?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Ummm, not always. Having the mentality that there are nurses begging to work will get you in trouble, especially if they aren't there and you fire the ones you think are "bad." You have to take a look...

    Don't You Just Want To Scream?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    NO, NO, NO!!! You do none of that. You bring them in BEHIND CLOSED DOORS and review P&P manual. Spell it out. Give them one chance and then disciplinary action if necessary. Management loves to...

    lpn as ADON?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to nd deb's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Well at least you help out. My management doesn't do any of that. They expect the floor nurses to do it all and then some, with very unrealistic expectations. They don't take the floor unless there is...

    I don't know if they are or not. That's what my clinical instructor said.....I think that was probably her opinion. I think that it looks like there are tons of options out there for any RN, BSN, MSN,...
