2013-10-15 06:35:43 PM kenneyjk29 Working in a psych hospital...having to ask ppl to leave group or consistently requiring verbal redirection is norm
2013-10-15 06:35:50 PM rabille86 and bullying isn't as obvious all the time
2013-10-15 06:35:55 PM kalamclemore sometimes I have to have my admin address the situation.
2013-10-15 06:35:59 PM rabille86 there can be quite a few passive aggressive residents

2013-10-15 06:36:40 PM pawood care plan behavior and then you can remove them anytime they act out in programs
2013-10-15 06:36:49 PM sestes We have one that likes mens attention, she start I fight if any other women get attention and she doesnt
2013-10-15 06:36:54 PM kenneyjk29 I had one today that was screaming and after 2 verbal redirections I had to fully stop my group to get a therapist to escort her back to the unit.
2013-10-15 06:36:54 PM kathyhughes You can change, you just have to have the new one sign a new Practicum advisor form and submit it
2013-10-15 06:36:56 PM saraheve05 thats what we do.
2013-10-15 06:36:58 PM dtracie11 We even have to call the cops for famillies pressing charges! ;(

2013-10-15 06:39:56 PM kenneyjk29 when I was working at the state, I learned that if it isnt written down, it never happened....so I am an over-documenting criminal at my hospital...nursing staff often get annoyed w me because I make my "voice" heard in the charts lol.
2013-10-15 06:40:12 PM scalabrese lol
2013-10-15 06:40:16 PM sarah11393 well good for you!

2013-10-15 06:40:31 PM scalabrese better safe than sorry
2013-10-15 06:40:34 PM kathyhughes Sounds like a good plan
2013-10-15 06:40:36 PM kelsey827 so i have a resident who cant handle group but they constantly put her in the activity room to get her out of the hall (which is where she wants to be) and she will grunt and start to cry and say i want to leave i want to go home i want to call my mom where my mom i want to go home call my sister i need a ride to my house i wnat to go to my house get me out of here
2013-10-15 06:40:36 PM kenneyjk29 exactly
2013-10-15 06:40:41 PM sarah11393 yes definetely
2013-10-15 06:40:47 PM bdappert always
2013-10-15 06:40:53 PM saraheve05 yep
2013-10-15 06:41:03 PM kathyhughes So do you remove her?
2013-10-15 06:41:15 PM kelsey827 and then i have others who will get mad and yell across the table during bingo, girl dont come at me i will mess you up, who you think you talking to dont even swat at me i will knonck you to the ground
2013-10-15 06:41:26 PM angiemcentire kelsey we have one that is doing the same she keeps trying to get out the door
2013-10-15 06:41:29 PM rabille86 We had a lady who would spend the entire duration of group activities screaming for a cup of coffee
2013-10-15 06:41:44 PM kenneyjk29 Kelsey--have you tried 1:1 w her? slowly introduce her to getting use to being in the room. each session have her in the room a little longer
2013-10-15 06:41:45 PM kelsey827 i usually take her to the hall where she asks to be. she has a tramatic brain injury and the room is too much stim for her. we put her in the hall but she is a fall risk and she has fallen
2013-10-15 06:41:52 PM kalamclemore we have a few like that too
2013-10-15 06:41:55 PM kathyhughes And do you think that the staff encouraged that behavior?
2013-10-15 06:42:01 PM pawood i would remove her care plan progress note and speak to rn sup to direct the staff to stop
2013-10-15 06:42:04 PM kpachan I find it interesting when some staff have issues with residents they just think they can drop them off for activity interventions when it is clearly not appropriate
2013-10-15 06:42:11 PM sestes Yes, I let the charge Nurse handle it. Her daughter is in denile and getts upset with us
2013-10-15 06:42:12 PM dtracie11 we have a resident who bullys everyone!!! staff, residents, guests. its horrible, we try and remove her and she pushes, we try and talk to the faily and the refuse that she acts like that....ahhh what to do?
2013-10-15 06:42:42 PM kelsey827 yeah she eats in our room with the people who need assistance and then she stays there with small group, i keep the TV low and the lights low to keep it calm for her, but once they start bringing more people in she just falls apart... once there are a lot of people and the lights and the noise and talking or singing or music
2013-10-15 06:42:45 PM kathyhughes I think that the entire staff encourages the behavior and that they are to blame
2013-10-15 06:42:51 PM kpachan Staff education and finding the appropriate intervention is key
2013-10-15 06:42:56 PM pawood invite the family to programs with her
2013-10-15 06:43:03 PM jcheney omg staff and encouaging bad behavior dont get me started lol
2013-10-15 06:43:03 PM meg do these res needs medication?
2013-10-15 06:43:15 PM dgauntlett what about noise cancelling head phones?
2013-10-15 06:43:16 PM rabille86 I've seen CNAs and RNs alike treat residents as if they aren't even there
2013-10-15 06:43:19 PM sestes needs something
2013-10-15 06:43:29 PM sarah11393 i hate when cnas and nurses do that
2013-10-15 06:43:35 PM dtracie11 the family doesnt come around ever, they just decline. they even sign her care plan via email
2013-10-15 06:43:36 PM kathyhughes No we need staff to positively reinforce the good behavior
2013-10-15 06:43:37 PM pawood me to
2013-10-15 06:43:38 PM rabille86 I've seen an RN page a cna to come answer a call light
2013-10-15 06:43:39 PM saraheve05 me too!
2013-10-15 06:43:44 PM kalamclemore we have an aide that drops off a very loud resident to activities all the time. she disrupts and makes it a unpleasant experience for everyone
2013-10-15 06:43:45 PM kelsey827 her daughter is a nurse in the facility. she is on medication.
2013-10-15 06:43:47 PM kenneyjk29 staff deserve the "break" but not at the cost of the other residents enjoyment of the activity...1:1 would be the route best taken...but the staff need to also be trained in what interventions...activity wise will assist in her behavior....
2013-10-15 06:43:48 PM meg Mabey there is some deppression involved
2013-10-15 06:43:53 PM jjessup We have a resident with attention seeking behaviors that said she fell after BINGO. everyone was certain she didn't, including the DON. When we checked the cameras... SHE HAD FALLEN. and picked herself up very quickly while staff was checking a card. Sometimes even our problem residents need to be taken seriously.
2013-10-15 06:43:54 PM angiemcentire we have a place called oceans that we send them to tthe place gets the meds straight
2013-10-15 06:43:54 PM kpachan Yes indeed about reinforcing positive behavior!
2013-10-15 06:44:01 PM shannond true
2013-10-15 06:44:06 PM kenneyjk29 unfortuantly, it has to be consistant from activities to staff...
2013-10-15 06:44:21 PM ssdietary I'm big into the documentation-
2013-10-15 06:44:22 PM kathyhughes So when I win the lottery I am inviting all staff to a free movie
2013-10-15 06:44:23 PM kelsey827 she wont even let me do a hand massage or a manicure... once she talks about home you cant even redirect with coffee or a conversation she starts rying and you cant do anything

2013-10-15 06:44:47 PM shannond lol
2013-10-15 06:44:52 PM sarah11393 wow....nurses are supposed to answer call beells too....in fact, all staff is in charge of call bells, because the resident could want something as simple as a blanket......anyone can get that, not just nurses
2013-10-15 06:44:57 PM jjessup treats are more expensive than movies

2013-10-15 06:45:31 PM kathyhughes then when they have to go to the bathroom I will tell them that they already went and I will run up and down talking and singing
2013-10-15 06:45:35 PM kelsey827 she knows now that if she says she has to go to the bathroom it gets her out of the room
2013-10-15 06:45:41 PM kathyhughes and perhaps they will figure it out
2013-10-15 06:45:44 PM kathyhughes or not
2013-10-15 06:45:45 PM sarah11393 yea i totally understand!

2013-10-15 06:46:48 PM sarah11393 I try to help the nurses out as much as i can... answering call lights, but sometimes they do need thier aides for the bathroom, or other reasons
2013-10-15 06:47:03 PM kathyhughes I take residents to the bathroom all the time
2013-10-15 06:47:10 PM jjessup I am a CNA, so when I cant find staff (if the resident is a 1assist) I take them. I wouldn't want to hold it

2013-10-15 06:47:56 PM sarah11393 there have been a couple times when i have actually taken a resident to the bathroom....if i know they are a one assist. but i dont want to get into trouble for that
2013-10-15 06:47:56 PM dgauntlett but i have to know the resident and know their abilities
2013-10-15 06:47:58 PM pawood we are not allowed to at our facility only cna or nurse
2013-10-15 06:48:08 PM kathyhughes We all got inserviced by PT on how to transfer residents
2013-10-15 06:48:09 PM kelsey827 i would never. i dont know enough about how they stand or transfer or anything i cant trust myself of a resident in a situation like that

2013-10-15 06:48:44 PM dtracie11 i was a care giver and qmap, i give meds and toilet whenever needed
2013-10-15 06:48:53 PM kathyhughes I got wedged in a ladies room one time at a restaurant with a resident
2013-10-15 06:48:55 PM sarah11393 yes exactly rabille86
2013-10-15 06:48:56 PM bdappert i find the smaller groups are more personal and the patients get more out of it
2013-10-15 06:48:57 PM jjessup volunteer led group at facility
2013-10-15 06:48:59 PM scalabrese I am an aid as well and both of my new hires are aids as well who also work in the facility. So it will now be so helpful
2013-10-15 06:49:09 PM sarah11393 omgsh!
2013-10-15 06:49:16 PM kenneyjk29 I double as a lead tech on the unit and an activities person ...so I will jump in and help if a pt hs a need that needs to be met, but I swear our nurrsing staff is horrible...yesterday...a CNA was sitting next to me and "didnt hear" the pt yelling that she needed to go to the bathroom...the patient was sitting directly accross from us!
2013-10-15 06:49:23 PM kalamclemore wow
2013-10-15 06:49:26 PM kathyhughes I stood her up and pivoted and we were wedged in the stall
2013-10-15 06:49:38 PM scalabrese I like the idea of having activity assistants who are also aides, it helps on outings as well
2013-10-15 06:49:41 PM sarah11393 wow what did you do?
2013-10-15 06:49:43 PM angiemcentire our nursing staff is horrible too
2013-10-15 06:49:44 PM kelsey827 yeah the aides are something else they are of a different breed when it comes to doing their jobs sometimes
2013-10-15 06:49:45 PM kathyhughes we laughed so hard they heard us in the restaurant
2013-10-15 06:49:46 PM jjessup WITHOUT A CALL LIGHT
