that neuro check policy.... when i was an ortho/neuro nurse on a med/surg floor we only had 4 pts if we had q2 hr neuro checks in fact we only had 4 pts if we had q4 hr neuro checks. anything sooner than 2-4 hr checks couldnt be on a reg floor. i cant believe they could even institute something like that with that many patients. and im talking night shift in a hospital with a CNA and help all around. I believe our CNAs had 10-12 pts.

I heard this guy had a laceration to the head. I would have started neuro checks and sent his ass out to the hospital and notified the doctor that he was sent out. One less person to take care of. But the button line is I heard she was a travel nurse. Why would a facility let a travel nurse be alone with that many patients and there should be an rn nurse as well in the building. This is ridiculous.

I am a nurse and worked in a nursing home for 9 months. I had a panic attack and had to leave early because of a patient fall. There are times when I had more than one patient fall and I was doing neuro checks constantly. When you have that many patients; it’s impossible to give quality care.

Yeah I was thinking that. And what do you do when a patient's being difficult so it takes longer to do the neuro check that it bleeds into the next check bracket? Does that mean you've missed a check? I get why this all needs to be done, but this all sounds too much for a single nurse who need to look after so many patients. There is no way it can all be done :(

Very sad story. 😔. That's why as a nurse I set a high standard in what facilities I work for. Alot of those facilities with unsafe patient to nurse ratio offer $$$$ big incentives to work for them. However ain't it always about the money, it's about keeping your license. I look for low patient to nurse ratio as well as a good team of CNA's. I stay away from facilities who have a high percentage of agency employees. Because when shit hits the fan like in this particular case your team will either break you or make you. Point blank period. I know for a fact that lady was all alone to do everything. And unfortunately she failed and lost her license. That's why I train nurses to look beyond that paper and look for quality employment. I rather get paid less and have peace of mind.

In Nursing homes, SNF’s and some hosp, they have techs that will do vs(initial), feed pts(maybe) and hygiene. You are going to find plenty of Black nurses in these type of facilities bc they are not accepted in hosp as readily as their white counterparts. Imho, that is purposeful. I am in the South. So yea, you are in these nursing homes, full of agency nurses and leadership that is not credible. The whole agency dilemma was to fill in void during and post covid. Its really just an opportunity to screw over licensed nurses who have paid for credentials and experience who give their service in exchange for a FULL TiME safe doable damn job. They have you working as a MULE. You cant careplan some of these constant fallers either. A lot of these elderly pts with 5-7 having serious behavior issues, no supplies, no food, techs as I said have their workload, but it is not a symbiotic or organized relationship. All the easy jobs walk around in heels with their lil clipboards in heels😏

No nurse with that patient load can be expected to do dressing changes, administer Insulin and tube feeding etc. and do q 15 min Neuro checks. As a surveyor I totally agree with you, skilled nursing facilities are dangerous work places for nursing staff and the legislature needs to update the staffing levels, and the companies need to give more attention to their patients instead of their shareholders.

I am trying to be a team player and hang in there. I have begged and pleaded for help. No one is being hired because this facility does not want to raise the pay. The biggest slap in the face is they were in the news recently stating the facility has 1 cNa per 8 residents (patients) and the cNa program they started thinking outside the box. This once was the best place I ever worked but has quickly turned into the worst.

I would have told the Doctor he hit his head and lethargic, and I fear for his safety, he keeps fallen and something is going on. 9/10 the doctor will say "just send him out" As an agency nurse you have to be very thorough and use critical thinking.. They will throw your a$$ under the bus.

When I give my meds on correct schedule ppl look at me as if I’m CRAZY! I’ve seen ppl lie about VS Which totally affects a patient’s care😭😭😭 It’s totally bad Ppl DONT SEND YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS TO A NURSING HOME.!!! THIS SHOWED ME ! They are NOT being properly cared for.

First of all, if this patient fell multiple times prior to his death, how do they know which fall caused the brain bleed? Why wasn't he sent to the ER on the first or second fall? Why the other NURSES that had the patient on the previous falls never changed? Why the doctor didn't think to order Xray and CT scans when he fell the first or second time. Why keep him in the facility after all these falls? It's amazing how only she is the one in trouble. That patients doctor and all the nurses who took care of him when all those falls happened should be prosecuted, not just her.

Very true. When I was NSG when a Patient fell and hit their head I sent them to ER for an Evaluation when I phoned the MD to report it. Nurses need to also inform MD that she wants to send the PT to ER and ask for an ORD to transfer for Evaluation especially on NOCS D/T MD may have been asleep and is not thinking correctly when he receives the call. If the MD says "No", it is perfectly within a Nurse's scope of practice to inform MD that she (or he) does not feel comfortable keeping PT there, especially if there is a visible Head Injury. Yes, it costs money and it takes time for the paperwork and you may have to stay OT and you may get backlash from Administration, BUT...Our PTS come first and Our Career is the subject of Liability. Giving your opinion to MD is not Insubordination! Good Luck to all of the Nurses who are new...Your intense learning did not stop when you Graduated.

The healthcare system Does not care about anyone: I currently work in a hospital where CNA’s are assigned up to 12 patients and nurses are assign 6-7 patients. When the patient has a stroke, most of them sometimes becomes very confused and a lot of them forget that they are unable to do certain task. From the the first or second fall the patient should have been placed on a one on one supervision and they should’ve been sent to the hospital to see if there were any brain bleed and - being that this patient was a VIP something should’ve been put in place so that this does not happen again - I can assume that they were receiving a large sum of money for Care, if this happened to a VIP patient I can only assume what happens to a regular patient, I think that the nursing home should also be charged as well as some of the administration staff there is no way that one nurse can take care of 37 patients or cNA’s. When it comes to nursing I feel like everyone is in it for the money, we do not support our fellow nurses when a nurse is treated unfairly we need to start striking and refuse to work until our demands are met I feel sorry for this young lady. if ever I was place in a situation like hers I will refuse the assignment immediately I am not losing my license for no one. Everyone wants to make money, with so many nurses available no patient should be neglected the nursing home or hospital is making millions of dollars off these patient’s and cannot afford staffing. where is all this money going to🤦🏻‍♀️why is it that you can bring a nurse from out of state to come to your hospital to care for your patient and pay them double/ triple and you barely wants to give Nurse overtime who is willing to work. The healthcare system is for the rich to get richer. They do not care about the patients, they care about the money and their name.

One thing I might say however with this particular Nurse, I would never do that. I often have to stay late hours even to manage my floor properly and chart later. Also, any patient with a head strike, I send them immediately and have permission from a wonderful NP to do so. Sometimes I will have them stay near my med cart as I pass medications or at the desk so that I can do neuro's and monitor their mental status. Often it is the only way I can get the neuro's done and manage the floor.

I gathered up enough courage to call my agency and paged direct of nursing for that facility.

The biggest mistake she made was documenting something she did not do. The second mistake she made was to not document any concerns she had with the frequency of those neuro checks given her patient assignment and who she notified of these concerns. It is absolutely ridiculous that a facility would even consider that a nurse with so many patients would be able to do such checks. If she had not falsified the records and notified her chain of command of the issue, I am not sure this outcome would have been the same. This patient should have been transferred to an acute care hospital for that kind of monitoring.

I don’t know how it is in other states but in CA where I live, an LVN (as we call them) can not do assessments. Only an RN can assess. She shouldn’t have even been responsible for that patient. The pt should’ve been in the hospital.

I'm an LPN in St. Louis, Mo. I nurse on a med Surg unit at a hospital. In Missouri, LPNs can do assessments, including Neuro checks. I do them every shift. So, are you saying LPN/LVNs can't do any type of assessment or just Neuro in California? I'm confused because how can you do your job properly as a nurse without assessments?

I was a nurse in a memory care facility. I had 57 patients. It was a three ring circus. I had patients fall 4-5 times a shift, because they would forget they needed their wheelchairs. Even pushing the wheelchair up to a table is considered a restraint. I didn’t want to restrain them I just wanted to slow them down a little. It was just crazy. So glad I left.

With 37 residents assigned to one nurse. There’s no way one nurse will have time to do Neuro Check every 15 minutes. Medicare/Medicaid insurance pay so much money for those patients to be in the nursing home. The nursing home management would not hired enough staffs to take care of those patients. One CNA assigned to take care of 20 some plus residents. Nursing home management needs to hold accountable for their actions.

They don’t care about employees being overworked or familiar with Neuro, pediatric, surgery areas. Go there do your job and be quiet. The bottom line is money. I feel bad for any person choosing the medical field since the 90’s. When I first started working I absolutely loved my job and became very close with so many patients. You can’t give real care to anyone being stretched as far with so many patients who deserve wonderful care. We need medical staff that really care and facilities that care about their staff and give them what they need to really care for their patients.

As an LPN who retired 20 years ago after working in a SNF/NH for 13 years, I see, from this video and especially reading the comments, NOTHING HAS CHANGED in any aspect of NH employment for Nurses. I experienced ALL of the negatives, impossible work loads, 40 patient assignment was my norm as I could only work the evening shift due to family obligations. Also severely understaffed I had to do meds, treatments, admissions, incidents along with any doctors orders related to and write up the report, etc. I have never clocked out on my shift when it ended, having to stay 2 sometimes 3 hours to finish everything, with absolutely NO overtime ever. I wanted to try and make 20 years so I could a better pension package, but I couldn’t take it any more. So again those who say NH employment is dangerous to the Nurse and also the resident, are 1000% telling the truth. Even though I sincerely loved taking care of the elderly and or disabled, I would NEVER work in that setting if I could go back and start over. Be careful, watch your back because in those settings, you only have you to protect your license. As some commenters stated, try and research the place before hand. If you still decide to try the place and you arrive on the unit you’re supposed to work and you feel uneasy, DON’T take report and for heaven’s sake DON’T accept the keys.

All wah gwan as a human and a nurse , knowing ones' rights is the PINNACLE of our lively hood. I went as a travel nurse to a facility They didn't have my dossier prepped (login , paperwork etc) ...after an hour into the shift , I asked the RNS to provide a login she declined , I asked her to print the Mar and tar , she refused. I called the DNS AND Admin at 12a no one answered. I offered her the keys as I'm an LPN she declined......end result Dispatch:911 what's your emergency? Me: Hi I'm a nurse unable to provide care and the RNS refuse to take the keys DISPATCH: Officers are in route! I left that facility with police escort and when the Rns lied on me I provided both her and my agency with the beautiful body cam footage and report. I proved I didn't abandon anything/one. License and ethics in tact! Moral of the story STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!!!! Close mouths don't get fed. I don't care her patient load. She falsified records when this could have been avoided. Persinally that resident would have been right next to me for the shift if we were so severely short staff. Nurses please work WITH your aides and don't abuse them!! As a former HHA and CNA I can attest nurses acted as though they were soooo overwhelmed. It was night and day when I became a nurse. I care zero the load the moment you accepted those keys you accepted that prison sentence is how I look at it. Get malpractice insurance and know the law and/or scope of practice.

Thank you for speaking truth! Nursing homes are dangerous and families should also be vigilant. Yet, they drop off family members off and put the earnest on the facility. The nursing home lost a good APP when you left! I have personal experience when my father was in a rehab center as a full assist and my family and I scheduled someone to be with him at all times! The nurses appreciated us helping in that way to allow them to care for the others. There is a misconception with society that nursing homes have the time to truly care for patients- they don’t ! Between med passes, cleaning, feeding, bathing etc. something gets left undone! The kind of nursing home that people envision is a farce! And Mr. McMasterson should have hired a private duty nurse! I am sadden by this story because although the nurse was wrong many cannot live a day in her shoes! America better wake up our health systems are imploding and this is without universal care!

They do not care. That is why there is a nursing shortage and they offered bonus and high pay to entice nurses to work in ltc especially New nurses. Nurse's beware this is a trap and don't take. Be vigilant and protect your license you work hard for and have malpractice nurses for these people will not protect you. The facilities should be at fault as well.

So many words come to mind as I view this segment; however, 'WOW!' is the most appropriate. You are absolutely correct about the nursing home. In my day there was a saying, "...just keep the herd moving.". It's like an assembly line. In those days, there were no electronics (mobile phones were not familiar to everyone until the early 2000s), so, your EMRs and eMARs were virtually nonexistent. The MAR was a massive book that resembled your grandmother's old bible. In it, there were medicine administration documents for every patient. These were checked by hand every month! As a nurse now of over eighteen years, a BSN, MSN, and completing a DNP, my best advice to these young folks approaching nursing is to work there temporarily to gain experience. That is NOT safe to begin. I have seen the innocent get trashed, losing their licensure before they start. It has been some years, so I wonder if eMARs help or harm the outcomes. Based on the above story, it is likely not. I think something needs to be done. It is more than a staffing, competence, or safety issue. As long as there is a need to "park the aging" somewhere, they will remain open. This is a CMS-level endeavor. Until they demand more, they will get more of the same. Thanks for the informative video!

Travel nurses should not take nursing home assignments. If a nursing home is using travel nurses that's a red flag that there is a problem with attracting local nurses 4. If you take an assignment with that patient to nurse ratio..Break it! Do not go back there after your shifts ends. .

From the top, our healthcare is privatized hence subjecting it to extreme capitalism aka greedy profit margins. We have a lot of unqualified players making $$ driven decision and neglecting the aspect of investing in their people. I think we need to heavily incorporate people management in our Healthcare/ Nursing. In line with for profit healthcare, we have the sharks called Agencies who have created discord and lack of consistency in the system. Agencies have help pervert a selfless profession into a money first and care second profession. Now to the actual caregivers. To be accepted into a PA program, you have to have a required amount of patient care, I believe this standard should be required of intending nurses to help boost the newer generation of nurses skillset and confidence and we need the experienced nurses to be more accommodating and rid the industry of toxicity. This toxicity has led to a significant drop in bedside nurses, companies can’t hire what is not out there. I review thousands of resumes monthly and you consistently see nurses hoping around, just looking for that perfect/peaceful work environment that no longer exist. Nursing schools have extensive waiting list because nursing educators are not paid adequately. Every time a new regulation is passed, it translate to an expense for the system. Since the system is broken, it opens the door for sharks to come in and get their slice of the proverbial pie. This dysfunction is complex, I can’t exhaust it. I can’t speak for every system but the short staff problem is not always because the company is trying to save $$, its because there is indeed a gross shortage at least in the tri-state. The nurses we do have are leaving bedside enmasse due to low pay, insurance company driven care and toxic work environments. Its a MESS!!

Do yourself a favor, call 911 and corporate. Run as fast as you can!! Also, many facilities hire "unlicensed or unqualified Rns LPN, LVNs And CNAs. Lackluster education. Deep dive investigations needed. 🔎

I had 60 patients last night!! Only 1 other nurse was scheduled but she had an emergency and I am PRN. I walked in not knowing I would be alone. I had 5 pegs, midnight meds to pass 1 fall and 1 on hourly checks. 5 pain med seekers that hoot and hollard every 4 hours. How I do protect myself from that?

Wow 😨 That's wickedness! I wouldn't go back is how I would protect myself. I've once had 20+ residents and after that horrible night, I quit that job.

60 patients that’s A lot. That’s inhumane, The moment I found out I was the only nurse there I would’ve called And ask them to send help immediately or that you have an emergency as well ,having that much patient creates room for a lot of errors while charting after around 12 patients it’s very hard for documentation to be done effectively. I’m very happy that you made it through the night but moving forward I think that you are setting yourself up, anything can happen to those patients in the night and it just might be too late to save them.

I agree 110 %, of all , you stated, I am glad you mention about DON asking you to change your documentation it happens all the time especially if facility are not computerize. I still have the hand written of the DoN that she want me to change my documentation replace it with her wordings of what happen

I remembered working with a patient who was high risk fall. I was the only nurse for 22 patients with one CNA. I knew my CNA wasn't going to do one on one since she is super busy and alone. I managed to do one one on one with that patient by all means while handling other task. God helped me so much this patient was safe in my care and didn't fall.i know sometime accident happen, but I always do my best to make sure no parents fall on my shift.

I literally was contemplating on takin a position at the nursing home because agency work is slowing down. But I just can’t find a good enough reason to get stuck in it. I’ve worked one time and I said I’ll never come back. The racism I experienced on my first ever shift the lack of support from the staff all discouraged me and made me feel like it was a nightmare.

Totally agree as no patient should get less quality of care because they are poor just as no patient should be better quality of care as all patients deserve good quality of care that goes above and beyond the standard imo and how I gave care to all of my patients when I was a nurse ~ retired RN

I said this once before, while that poor nurse had 39 patients all the admin that allowed her to take the fall, no pun intended, were fast asleep in their beds while they shouldve been there assisting her.... but that would never happen. i have never worked in a nursing home and unless i was facing foreclosure i just wouldnt risk it by taking a position at one of those establishments i just wouldnt. i give props to the nurses that take these jobs.
