Activitys dept could actively help .. ?

I have a suggestion. I think that activity dept should help or handle personal phone calls for the residents. They claim one on one visits ect.. I'm sure everyone knows how buisy those 2 are. U know with all the activies that are happening every day . They could help the residents stay intouch with friends and family. Cna s don't answer the calls. So n so has a phone call line 2. Stop lock cart cover all work walk all the way to a phone realize personal call for resident place on hold walk to nurse station xrf phone pick up walk around to resident and go back to Cart and try to restart what u was doing... The chances of. Med error increases 100%. X that by 12 in one day for one nurse. Office could answer phone then page activities east wing resident line 4. They would be interacting with res and could possibly save a fatal error. It is a communication activity and helps socialise with them. Reason why they couldn't ?? Clipboard takes 2 hands to carry. The director busy listening in on nsg meeting to add her 2 cents on plan of cares? I think it would save nsg hrs and increase the safety of nsg dept. Does this not sound totally doable there are 2 of them what are ur thoughts? Or social services assist could help with it also. Let me hear it

If ur gonna get fucked might as well get paid

Ok, so there’s a title I didn’t think I’d ever read!
However, according to some credible news sources in Australia, it appears that stressed out nurses are quitting hospital work and turning to prostitution as a source of income.
I have to say that regardless of claims that prostitution is safer than ever, it stills stands that these two “careers” really don’t go together. With all that we have learned about looking after ourselves and focusing on holistic care, prostituting yourself is a bad idea. Not only physically, but also emotionally, spiritually. If you really want to limit your sense of self-worth, wreck your self-esteem and discover what it feels like to be a pure object used for someone else’s gratification, you’ll find it in prostitution. That’s not what nurses stand for, is it?
Additionally, I can’t imagine how gross it must be having to pretend you’re interested (sexually) in complete strangers!
While prostitution is not something I’ll ever be checking out personally, I have worked in nursing for long enough and seen enough naked people that I really should make mention of another dilemma that sex workers must have to face – the reality of how many people look naked! Let me assure you, it’s not always what glamourised fashion magazines make things out to be. For example, issues such as obesity and the lack of personal hygiene seen in many people would not do anything to help the self esteem of any prostitute.
Obviously there are lots of exceptions to this, but to reach a point where you invite strangers to strip down and hop in your bed!? I’m a little dumbfounded. Not to mention I’m sure there’s a fair share of losers, creeps and psycho’s that also frequent brothels….
What’s also amazing about this is that the story doesn’t proclaim that a single nurse has left the profession to sell themselves on the street, but that several have jumped on the bandwagon.
“The mother of two with 10 years’ experience as a registered nurse, who wanted to be known only as Jenna, has told how she and at least four of her colleagues have found new jobs working in brothels.”
Let me just add that there are specific reasons why these people have decided to leave the hospitals and seek alternative income sources, and this post does not really expand on these reasons: that nurses are exhausted, demoralised, under-staffed and stressed.
I agree! I work under these same conditions frequently. It’s tiring physically and mentally to work as a nurse in Queensland right now, not to mention that you work crazy hours with serious ramifications when you mess up, and the pay is not super-great.
Regardless of this…. prostitution? Really?! Check out this personal account by a former prostitute in Australia:
“I know about trafficking first hand. I was enticed into the prostitution trade as a young single mother with bills to pay, and once trapped I was unable to escape until 20 years later.
I wasn’t trapped by force. Some are, because pimps can be pretty vicious – but I had no pimp. I was trapped by the easy money which lulled me into thinking that the physical and mental pain I went through was worth it. It was never worth it. It destroys you. Even though I have now been out of the sex industry for nearly eight years, I am still in recovery and probably always will be.” - Linda Watson

Can't sore with eagles while I'm lead by a turkey

A PISSED NURSE: At the facility we have educational experts dumb and dumber to get together to play cat and mouse games with the very skilled nurses employed there to match wits. these very skilled nurses have figured out their big secret game plan to attempt to provide prove the staff incompetent to do their job. So they can get rid of some more of the nurses that don't bend over and bow to them as they enter the building . In their arrogance and conceit with themselves they have failed to realize that they are supposed to be leaders and examples and want earn the respect that goes along with the positions these two asses are in. So how can this staff soar with the Eagles and be at its best when we have to be led by crippled minded turkeys. These are the results these geniuses in charge have achieved consider a revolutionary change at the facility by focusing on the future without them in the mix is an excellent start. Then we all can motivate each other and be a good influence to others and create a plan executing service excellence in this facility without the staff being targets for harassment and our jobs threatened by the miserable leaders violating us at work. Instead of working in a miserable, stressful center we can enjoy what we do with our patients promoting good health and great attitudes, good moral all around, valuable relationships and this be a joyful place to come and heal and work. People don't follow people that they don't have respect. And you don't earn respect via fear or retaliation or threatening. This is not a prison and does not need to have the morale at the prison these patients are not prisoners and we are not guards so please take that back to the prison. Professional nursing with a dash of the sense of humor and happy smiles will do wonders for morale and patient care . I would like to see what you think please comment below

POP MATH QUIZ

Add another post for me; Dumb wants nurses to take a math test, with Dumber supervising to make sure they don't cheat. Are they real? Everyone should get a case of brain fart and fail.. How disrespectful is that. That is calling us stupid, cheaters, and liars.
