  1. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    AuntieNursey replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, your mother is not going to "snap out of it", it's dementia and it's probably been going on for quite a while, which you would have noticed it you had actually visited her at home instead of...

  2. Has anyone ever been accused of elderly abuse

    AuntieNursey replied to cnabeginner's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yes, by a "manager" whom I had found doctoring charts and billing for supplies not used and caught having an affair with another nurse. Thought it would take care of all his problems. But the BON in...

  3. My bad attitude

    AuntieNursey replied to jessiern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have just quit a job related to the same type of BS. Short-staffing (perpetual), no or negative response from management, lousy raises, and no quality assurance or employee evauation process (the...

    AuntieNursey replied to UtErRnEmt's topic in Emergency

    And we SO need to stop judging each other, and those who work in other environments and eating our young. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL NURSE! Regardless of where she works and what she does, she does it because...

    AuntieNursey replied to UtErRnEmt's topic in Emergency

  8. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    AuntieNursey replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not only abandonment, but lord knows what could have been living on the bed. She didn't know what the room mate had, the possibilities are endless. To put a baby on a dirty bed is inexcusable. The...

  9. Her perfume stinks!!

    AuntieNursey replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    YOU stated that upper management has spoken to her, does your workplace have a policy about wearing scents? Don't laugh, I worked with children with D.D. as well as physical and emotional disabilities...

    AuntieNursey replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

  13. Entitled Generation

    AuntieNursey replied to javajaydon's topic in General Nursing

    I think its unreasonale to expect nurses, or any medical staff really or any human for that matter, to work rotating schedules. There have been many studies that reinforce how physically disruptive it...

    vomiting. I'm hoping I'll get over it. I actually reflexively gag when I hear the noises. I feel your pain. This one took me lierally years to get past. A patient/resident would throw up, I would...

    AuntieNursey replied to rogle34's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I thought I had come across just about everything in LTC, but you got me with this one, Stashing narc's int he DON's office. We are required to keep them in the narc drawer for the pharmacist to...

  17. Told to pee in her depends

    AuntieNursey replied to dv0806's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to read the policies for your facility. Many assisted living facilities have very clear policies about what a resident must be capable of doing for themselves in order to continue...

    AuntieNursey replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    :angryfire My "coworkers" started doing the same thing to us 3rd shifters, so I started throwing out everything that was left behind after 1st and 2nd shift. Indiscriminate cleaning- paper, styrofoam...

  20. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    AuntieNursey replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why? You provide professional, caring, empathic nursing care in any environment. You assist them with as much of the medical care and emotional support as you can. LTC folks are so much more than...

  22. Not enough attention to BMs in nursing today!

    AuntieNursey replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work in LTC and we are all about the "poop patrol" It has such an impact on the total body, that you have to pay attention. Just like the story of the rectum that would be king: all the body parts...

    AuntieNursey replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "No, I don't want to see your weenie. Not only is it uninteresting, it's the smallest weenie I've ever seen on an adult male!" Looks just like a member, only smaller! too

    AuntieNursey replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's why she's there! She's a great example of a bad role model . During nursing school I also had a similar nurse and she was rude and borderline facetious with everyone, EXCEPT the MD's. Budda...

  25. Silliest thing you ever did after a long shift...

    AuntieNursey replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I once "woke up" passing a car on the highway at 65 MPH after working 3 weekend overnights and going to school from 8a-3p on Monday while in nursing school. One of the scariest moments of my life. No,...
