    nurses not giving meds at correct times

    pagandeva2000 replied to justwannabanurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sounds like more problems in a sense. I am familiar with the COW. Document within two minutes?? What about a patient whose meds have to be crushed, has a hard time swallowing more than one horse...

    Wrongful Suspension

    pagandeva2000 replied to NursingStudent5548's topic in General Nursing

    In addition, keeping a professional demeanor around patients protects you in other ways...being placed in compromising situations by being asked to do special favors you have no business doing. You'd...

    nurses not giving meds at correct times

    Oh, most certainly. What I have seen in the hospital, however, is nurses pulling out ALL of their shifts medications from the pxysis but administering them within the proper times to avoid running...

    pagandeva2000 replied to justwannabanurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We use EMAR in the hospital, and while we can't personally view what time the medication was actually signed for, medical records CAN in fact, pull out what time was documented and compare it to the...

    Who hates nursing, honestly????

    pagandeva2000 replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing

    I don't hate nursing, but I can see what will burn me out if I am not careful...insane policies made by out of touch people, management looking down on us, the backbiting done on a daily basis. THOSE...

    I hate situations like this; it really puts one on the spot. If your DON was supportive of you, then, try not to worry about it. At least you reported it to

    pagandeva2000 replied to justwannabanurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am surprised that some LTC are actually using the computer system to document medications; I have not heard of that around here, but that doesn't mean that it is not done. And, yes, the computer...

    Psychiatric Nursing?

    pagandeva2000 replied to josinda421's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I hope so, also. I am hearing that the place I was going to be sent to has now laid off most of their per diem nurses, so, I am sure agency is close behind. For some reason, in my own hospital, they...

    I don't think that nursing should take responsibility for pets, also. I do believe that it is wonderful that the patient has an animal trained to keep him safe, but, next thing you know, we'll have...

    Is there a feeling of entitlment among new grads?

    This is what I notice more than anything else; new grads expecting choice shifts and positions before they got their feet wet. That is nonsense. Regarding their expectations to receive a job after...

    Psychiatric Nursing?

    pagandeva2000 replied to josinda421's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm curious, you are an LPN and are not medicating? In the hospitals I have worked at (as an aide), the LPN was the primary medication nurse. What else do you do since you aren't administering meds?...

    pagandeva2000 replied to lulu0704's topic in General Nursing

    If this is a valid, accreditated program, then, go for free and check out the RN afterwards. You have time to look into Excelsior and other programs in the meanwhile. Good
