preema, in my opinion they should be treated with dignity, and respect, and the love of Christ. Most of them have worked hard all they're lifes and through no fault of they're own, now must depend on others to care for them. Just think, if you were the one in the wheelchair or bed, how would you want to be treated.

I agree preema, I worked in LTC for a long time and nothing made me madder than to hear someone talking in babytalk to an elder! Unfortunately some people don't even know that they are doing it>

I went to my success work shope, I think its going to be cool and its going to be a little challenge.
There are some christians and most of the women are married and some are divorced. I am not there to look for someone. Its a little bit of a shocker for me
The rest of what I want to say I know what I am not sure how to say it?

I thought I would pass this on, I think I can do it with one proof, There is another college that has a hold on my registration which could impede my signing up for classes on thursday and I still have to do a few other things to too,...I would really like you nurses to pray for me
thanks

I am not a real nurse yet, but will get there as soon as I get the guts to finish out the last 3 classes. I have the 2 Anatomy and Physiology classes, and the one Microbiology class remaining. I guess I am just scared of failing, and that's why I haven't taken that leap of faith yet. I did recently graduate from my CNA class, and boarded out for it, and passed. I was so excited. I just wanted to thank you for this thread. Even though I won't be performing 'real' nursing duties, it is nice to know that I will be part of a special family in the medical field.

I feel terrible!!!! I have not been able to post in here in quite a while because of lack of internet. I have started back to school, passed my returns and am getting ready for clinicals on tuesday. Had a pretty rough time at work last night. I have a nice size bruise on my wrist from an accident involving a bed a wall and a slightly high rate of speed, it didnt really end well, it's killing me today!! It was one of those nights when everywhere is short staffed and struggling and a holliday weekend with people deciding to attempt ridiculous feats and ending up in the ER and then ICU. I left work and got home too exausted to even talk. I said goodnight to my hubby and crashed hard. But it's over and now I'm getting ready for clinicals!!! Whoo-HOO!!

I need some input here...
Do any of you work in a facility where state codes resident/patient safety seem optional? I work in a nursing home and am absolutely ready to scream.
I work in housekeeping and the main purpose of what I do is to keep things clean and residents safe. I focus as much on the second as the first, because I have seen residents fall (and done the bloodspill cleanup) several times. Yet I spend my time 'cleaning' warning residents off wet floors (with nurses and CNA's present), violating state laws because they are not enforced (mopping the dining room with amublatories present since nursing 'doesn't have time' to help them, again today), and walking residents around hazards though I am not, according to the facility, allowed to touch them, for liability reasons.
I get the 'we are too busy' thing, and then, by the same people get told I am not doing my job right for not finishing my work "on time" (even after walking her resident over a buffer cord he stepped on after opening a closed door 5 feet from her-they can't legally be locked), being a 'witch' by asking residents to not enter the dining room until the floor was dry (she said it out loud to admin), etc. She isn't the only one, just most common one.
Am I nuts, or is there a bigger problem here? Yes, they know the laws, yes I am the witch for trying to follow them.

Hi
I was hoping somone could give me some insight on nursing school. I was a biology major. Left school for a while because I was just over it all and tired since I worked fulltime as well. I just recently went back (biology major) with the intention of eventually becoming a Physician Assistant. I just recently got accepted into a preclinical nursing program at my old school ( long story on why I even applied lol) and am thinking about leaving Biology behind to get my Masters in Nursing instead. I only have one class to take before I can take the entrance exam needed for the clinical portion of the program, and acceptance even if you pass is not gauranteed (based on space) so needless to say I am afraid of leaving biology for something that may not happen and then I have wasted a semester trying this just for it not to work. (frankly I have wasted enough time already with school another long story) If I do go into the preclinical portion next spring and make it into the clinical portion to get my RN license again praying I pass that test. I would like to go on to either an NP or CRNA.
I was looking at some of the classes in the clinical portion and they are 14-17 hours each course with some class room time, lab time and field work time. How exactly does that work because I will still need to keep my overnight job (11p.m. to 7a.m) and need some time to sleep and study. Also how difficult are those exams. I hated chemistry, algebra and calculus, struggled with them all. The last class I have in the preclinical portion to take is a biology, chem, physics mix and from what I hear a real hair puller. So thats adding to my nervousness. But it would be wonderful to be able to leave the job I am on now in two years.
Any input on how the classes actually pan out during the week schedule wise and on the exams would be great.
Thanks

I used to work directly with patients while working in EMS as a medic, but since my move to my current location, I've take a job in medical administration, LTC more specifically. (LTC - long term care). I've been in the medical field oh roughly since 2001, started out at BAMC (Brooks Army Medical Center) in their ER as a medic and absolutely loved it. The life of the ER is extreme and although you never worked less than 12 hours, those 12 hours were the best! Now, I have no direct patient contact only in direct and I mostly am advocates, dealing with the DON's, Administrators, ADON's, RN, and MD's. My goal, is to start/finish my BSN and become a RN in the ER and work that crazy shift 11-7a. Fun stuff!

I work in LTC Administration... what do your state regs say? Anything? I completely understand, it's rather sickening actually that the elderly/handicapped are treated in such disgrace.
