It's time for the french bidet (or a garden hose?)

How many times do they have to shove something up your nose in order to know if you have it or not (COVID19)? I'm refering to the people who test positive one day and negative the next.

I never have (but some people do).

The same reason people take lie detectors more than one time. One test would say you lied and the next test would say you didn't and maybe a 3rd test would prove inconclusive. Sorry. Couldn't think of a better analogy.

It's called a public sacrifice.

Pudding and applesauce or ice cream are not necessarily used to 'hide' meds. They help make the meds more pallatable.

It works for me (I mean the ramen part).

Not really sure...

And the hospital should evacuate too so we don't find the patients in the news waist deep in water.

I've tried this but found it very awkward. I normally use OMRON electronic bp monitor.

to rephrase: if you had to monitor your bp at home what would you use?

I definitely would not give it.

At work some residents enjoy a play with words (cimanon, simenet,etc...). You got to lighten up sometimes. S NILE EVERYONE!

I am not sure if "I'm on break" was the best response. "I'm presently off the clock" sounds better and add that you'll find another nurse on the floor to assist.

Often times discrepancies without med errors happen because because people are not counting the number of doses in one card. For example we get a card of 30 doses but they're half pills so often times the narc paper will say 15 pills (whole)received ...

They're worth their weight in gold and they have the right to push it around.

"Yay Washington! Who knows what was in that buttercream?! "

Agreed. Some facilities will do something about it including mine. But from what the poster stated or implied most everyone there already knew or suspected. Hum...Would I stay there? NO. How much worse would it be after a few years if it's like that ...

Report it and be ready to leave your job because they won't believe you, or even if they believe you they won't do anything about it. If you don't lose your job you'll end up working in a very awkward environment and that's not worth it.

Maybe so, but what about the rights of the other residents who share the same dining room? This is a reply to a resident's right to be 'as stinky as he or she wants'

Are you comfortable delegating leg wrapping to your cnas? Who is responsible if it's not done correctly?

"Of course, you would be responsible if the task was not carried out properl" Of course, you are. But would you write a cna up if she does not do it right and the resident's legs turn purple?

All the jingle bells were more than one resident could handl. Overwhelmed he left the dining room and retreated to his room. How easy it is to forget how something as simple as choir singing and making merry can upset someone's sense of inner peace..

Wakey-Wakey!

I must add that, overall, Christmas brings a lot of joy to many, so, Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas!!
