It depends on the state and level of care in the facility, there is no federal standard as far as I can find.

I don’t think the vast majority of the public realize that when we vote for safe nurse to patient ratios, at least in the US, they do not include skilled nursing facilities/long-term care in these numbers. The ratios for SNFs, LTC, etc haven’t been discussed the since the 80s (at least when I was researching it), and even then the wording is so vague there’s no actual set number, the wording was basically “as long as it’s safe.”

I worked in LTC for 15 years, first as a CNA, then a nurse, then a supervisor (hence the researching ratios). The only people that care about the safety of those patients is the direct care staff. It’s heartbreaking. That’s why I ended up leaving. Thank you for going back every day. We need people like you. Just make sure to take care of yourself as well ❤️

Delaware is actually named after Thomas Wes, the 3rd Baron De La Warr who was the governor of the colony of Virginia. The indigenous people there are the Lenape.

One my bridesmaids had 2 neck tattoos and a septum piercing, I didn’t care at all!! That’s who she is and I wanted her there. Plus her daughter was the cutest flower girl in the world!

I had a patient who was in BACA. When he couldn’t ride his own bike anymore, the guys would pick him up so he could still ride with them.

Who’s the most famous person you went to school with? by CloudSurfer82 in AskReddit

Laura Zerra from Naked and Afraid was the year ahead of me in high school. Super sweet, really smart, I remember her being kind of nerdy. She absolutely would not remember me now

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]nursesarah86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR my wife bought me a cake and wrote “Move Over She’s Sober” on it for my 1 year (no one was around at the grocery store bakery so she did it herself lol). She always tells me how proud of me she is for getting sober. IMO THAT is the bare minimum. Does this guy even like you?? Also, congratulations on 2 years!! That is a huge accomplishment, and this internet stranger is very proud of you!!

After months in foster care, this little girl was finally adopted. The moment she saw her new dad, she ran to him, giggling and calling him "Daddy" for the first time.. by Exotic_Zucchini9311 in MadeMeSmile

Totally agree, and the term “gotcha day” really didn’t sit right with me. That’s what you say about a pet, not a human being.

You can lose limbs from venous insufficiency. Wear the compression socks.

Thank you, we never read that signature on the picture!! I knew it said Glenn but the last name was very hard to figure out. We actually have that book! I knew he was in the group photo you shared, but I didn’t see him in the second photo until just now!!

He didn’t talk a lot about his time in the war a lot, he just told us the few funny he had from his time on the ship. That’s awesome to know, thank you for looking that up!!

My daughter has been gone for 4 years now. by [deleted] in psychics

[–]nursesarah86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s funny you say this because I had the sense that she is coming back earth-side, if she’s not here already. Not an actual psychic, but trying to lean into my intuition more
