  1. Got a new nurse in trouble

    TwoLayi replied to TwoLayi's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to thank everyone for the input. I figured the whole situation is shady, and it has been confirmed. And I have been trying to get out, I have been wanting to get out of SNFs for the last 2...

  2. Got a new nurse in trouble

    TwoLayi replied to TwoLayi's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this is a problem. We have daily new admits, sometimes 2-3. Our pharm makes 3 deliveries per day, but for meds to be delivered by 5 pm they have to be ordered by 11 am and most admits aren't even...

  3. Advice for a new grad

    TwoLayi replied to schoolisexpensive's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Working in a LTC as a new grad is better than not working. It will help you with basic skills, learning meds and time management. But it can be a little brutal and alot different than what you...

  4. Got a new nurse in trouble

    TwoLayi replied to TwoLayi's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, it is not an official written policy. Actually the DON was unaware that the medications were not delivered until after midnight AND we didn't have most common medications in our Ekit...

  5. Q about patients questioning meds

    TwoLayi replied to TLS9544's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Good question! I have been in this situation many times and I think it really depends on the individual patient. You can tell them it for Bipolar, schizophrenia etc, as someone else suggested....

  6. problems.....at work

    TwoLayi replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The difference is the nurse was trained to work in the facility as a nurse and you have not. And while you can legally call yourself a nurse, the facility has no obligation to designate you as one...

  7. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    TwoLayi replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In this unlikely but possible situation, don't give a OTC they didn't ask for. Let's say they asked for a Tylenol but you only have Ibuprofen, tell them sorry you only have Ibuprofen, ask them if they...

  8. problems.....at work

    TwoLayi replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congulations!!! You worked hard and rightfully earned the title. However I am a little confused by your post. If you are currently working as a CNA, I can see the problem calling you a nurse,...

  9. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    TwoLayi replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't see a problem with it because A) the CNAs are not your patients in any capacity B) they are adults fully capable of making decisions about their own health C) I think it would be preferable to...

  10. They rescheduled interview and then flaked. What should I do?

    TwoLayi posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    After submitting my resume to a company I really want to work for I got an email from a recruiter. We set up a time to talk on the phone. Everything went really well, she asked me a few questions...

  11. Laundry Bins

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

    The two faclities I have worked at we have had individual bins on wheels, that were stored together. It could be infection control because people might accidentally put garbage in the laundry. That...

  12. Change in condition during report (sort of)

    TwoLayi replied to sunnyx4's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think you are approaching it the right way. Is this a new nurse that doesn't know any better or one that is just taking advantage of you? Some nurses will dump stuff on you if you consistently allow...
