yes it is ...as a matter of fact he did stay in. was moved later due to the fact he climbed out a window to leave. We are close to a highway so wasn't safe for him there. I hated to see him go was sad for me. but he did need somewhere safer.

Hi I am a geriatric nurse from Oklahoma. HELLOOOOOOO fellow okies

You know its going to be a bad day at work when the day nurse says "I tried not to have to leave you anything , but its been a bad day" (nearly everyday)

I am a geriatric nurse. I was at work one evening and had an alzhiemers patient who had been trying to get out the door all night. It was about 830 and here he came again to find the door. We were under storm warnings so i just told him he needed to go to room it was fixing to storm. now everyone knows how small nursing home closets or hosp closets are. 40 mins later the cna's yell for me to come help him. He was in the closet with the matress off the bed in there with him . I told the girls if it ever storms I'm following him . Now we liked to never got him or the matress out of the closet .(so funny) it took him some real working to get it in there in the first place

I am a charge nurse. And sometimes it isn't an easy job. That type of attitude is not acceptable at all. I would have sent her home. I have a good crew on my shift.But they know that the residents come first.The aides are a very important part of nursing and We couldn't do without them. But they def shouldn't be alowed to run the show . thats why there is a chain of command.

Well I swore i would never work in a nursing home. Was raising 2 kids by myself and it was a pretty easy job to get at the time and i needed one ...lol. I never realized how much i would love it. after leaving that job to work for the VA my supervisor bugged me till i applied for LPN school. Little did i know ( cuz i hate math) i would pass and be excepted. I loved every minute of school. And learned alot. Geriatric nursing is my love. The stories i could tell ...never a dull moment.
