- This video should give you an idea of the work flow of morning shift.
Hello, my name is Lauren, and my nursing background is CNA to LPN ! All my experience is in long term care. Additionally, worked at the same Nursing home for 11 years. I moved on to subacute. I’m currently in nursing school for my associates degree. I’m set to graduate in August 2023.
This channel is about long term care and nursing school.
Other CZcams nurses I like who have a background in long term care and nursing school for their RNs are KimmyD and YourFavNurseB
Also, a awesome site for all your material nursing needs is WWW.ALLHEART.COM

I am here for you guys, and thank you so much for watching!
Love these videos I appreciate them so much I’m in term four of LVN program and they’re not really teaching us as much as I’d like to learn when it comes to skills. Please keep making these videos if you can…they really are helpful to someone like me!
Hey, i did a part 2 to this video!
@@Nurse4Life255 yes! I’m about to watch it ! Edited to say my daughters name is Lauren! I love that name. ❤️
@@cynthiamora5906 aw 💕
🤣 it made me laugh when you said make sure to look at their chest if they're going up and down. hahaha. lol there are time it takes me forever to wake up an old person, and then i said sorry cos when finally awake they get startled
Haha I know right , sometimes they would hear walk in n I’m like alright just checking on you lol
This is gives me a little bit of comfort. I'm starting the last clinical unit in my program tomorrow and I'm so nervous of being in "charge"
Great video now I can start my career
I needed this video. I am headed back to work after a break was looking for a refresher video on workflow. Thanks.
You're welcome! I’m so glad you could benefit from it
I loved your video. I just got my lpn so this gave me some good insight. Thx!
I'm so glad! Thanks for your comment.🥰
Loved this video
yay! 💕
PCC system .. love it Point click care
Very informative! I only lasted 2 months in a SNF. Unfortunately, I could not handle the stress. 30 patients on a shift anything could happen. 1 little mishap could put you behind hours.
I know it’s ridiculous. I just do the best I can.
So what kind of place do you work at now? Did you totally leave nursing ?
I can feel you. I have been a LTC nurse for 8 years with 41 patients. Stress is high and one patient fall can put me behind (lotsa documentation!)
So try. 41 patients ? 👎this can’t be day shift, right?
I feel this, I unfortunately couldn’t last 3 months in a SNF as a brand new LVN 😭 I was working full time day shifts and it was too much for me. I was doing my best but I felt like I was drowning. I just got hired at an assisted living facility so we’ll see how I do there, crossing my fingers 🥹🙏
Sorry you have to do all that before you start your day. In my facility the overnight nurse do all that and I am thankfull for that.
That is awesome! Wish they would have….
Wow , you have a treatment nurse at your facility? That awesome. Good video
No i wish we have a nurse practitioner who comes weekly to assess the wounds. Thank you! Glad you liked it
Thank you for the video!! It was very informative I lasted 2 weeks at an LTC then quit but I’m trying it again at a different facility and start my first shift tomorrow I’m nervous but gonna stay positive! Your content was really helpful.
I’m so glad it was helpful to you! 🥰 long term care is awesome cuz of the patients. they crack me up all day. let me know if u need anything.
@@Nurse4Life255 Lol yes it is and okay thank you so much!
Liked your video it was very helpful. Been a LVn for over 20 years . My first job was a nursing home. I now thinking about doing a travel contract but haven’t worked in a nursing home since my earlier years. Thank you for the video.
Glad it was helpful!
there is a part 2 too.
hey, I'm a new subbie to your channel. I really liked the work videos
Thanks for subbing! And thanks for letting me know.
It was beneficial for a new LPN, like myself. Just seeing how someone else sets up their rounds. I have only worked a few shifts and i have to improve my timing. Thank. I couldn't always hear you but other then that itwas helpful. Thanks, Again.
I’m so sad you couldn’t hear parts. I’m sorry about that, but I’m glad it was helpful.
there is a part two for the rest of the shift
Thank you for this video. I start my first job as an LVN with a LTC facility. I am nervous because I’m not sure what my day will look like but it helps to see your setup and morning routine.
Glad it was helpful!
Also, thank you so much for the comment, and I have a Long Term Care orientation video too. : )
Good luck at your first job. And congrats on becoming a LVN. SNF can be stressful but you learn so so much
Love this I just started at an ltc facility as a new grad and was ready to quit! This helped me tremendously!
ltc is no joke even though your patient is stable. I’m so glad it helped you. let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with. there’s a part 2 to this video too! are you a lpn?
@@Nurse4Life255 yes I am, I worked as a telemetry tech for over 10 years in a hospital so the ltc style of nursing was very different. I’m about to watch part two now. Thank you so much
oh okay so theres not that many more options for us in nursing as LPNs, so I’m glad you didn’t quit. You didn’t do all that schooling to quit.lol It takes a long time to get the hang of it, and figure out how to get it done. what the dept of health wants is very different from what we as nurses are ACTUALLY able to do, so please keep that in mind, but its important to keep in mind what they require. It’s a sad state nurses are in but to me its worth it, because it is such a rewarding career.
Thank you for this !! As a bedside hospital nurse trying to pick up shifts in LTC/SNF, this video is extremely helpful in preparing for these shifts. I appreciate you going through each step and explaining what you're doing. Very helpful!
awesome! so glad it was helpful to you. did you actually pick up shifts yet ?
@@Nurse4Life255 yes, I have picked up 1 shift and it was a hot mess. I wasn’t fully prepared for the work flow or what to expect. I have another shift today 3-11, and I feel like your video will help me formulate a plan for a smoother shift. Thank you !
oh ok, 3 to 11 is more laid back.
Thanks for you
My pleasure
nice thanks
No problem 💕
I think the vid was very beneficial, thank you. I know you cannot show a lot and it's not worth getting in trouble over but it's helpful to see how you prepared and everything. I'm an RN who has always worked in the hospital, I wanted to know more about nursing in long term care. I'll check out your other videos. 😊
I sign paperwork on Monday. I left the ICU to go to LTC. They told me it's 18 residents on rehab hall or I could work long term hall with 35 to 40 residents with a med aid. I don't know how I feel about that yet. 😮 Anywho, I think I will like it once I get a routine down.
@danas3148 with a med tech? That’s easy I bet…
@danas3148 with a med tech? That sounds easy…
Super helpful! I've only worked inpatient but applied for a nursing home job and am trying to figure out how the flow is different. Being responsible for 30 patients kinda blows my mind right now lol
It’s crazy but they are stable it’s the med pass that’s crazy in the am.
@@Nurse4Life255 oof I bet! I'll keep watching for tips. :)
@@elisabethtaylor7281 i dont know if you saw it but Part two will help for rest of shift.
here in Arkansas CNAs chart snacks and meals
they don’t let CNAs sign them out here. they can feed them the snack though. don’t make sense. I just do it. lol
CNAs do meals though 🙏
Thank you for the video! How did you filter out the times?
Easy…. I’ll have to do a video showing how to do filter but it’s e mar ->advanced then it’s there
@@Nurse4Life255 that would be great and thank you!
czcams.com/video/1UabwzXn8rc/video.html
👆here’s the video on the emar filter…
The Accucheck machines not working is so real 😂😂😂
😂
Gah! glucometers not working. Whenever there is an issue like that it completely ruins the morning flow and can push your whole day back also.
Hey. I saw some of your videos too. Lol omg I know ! That’s how little time there is on those morning med passes. It’s a shame
Love ur content !question though .. so if in the middle of ur med pass there was an emergency u had to treat the rest of ur med pass would be given late right ? So u would chart the reason why youre giving it late ?
Can I email you? Laurenxringgold@gmail.com
Yes maam sorry for not responding soon , sick kiddos ,i will email you ! Thank u so much !
Hi Lauren Are you also in charge with your patients example if pt fall. Are you the one who will need to make COC Inform the dr. And family’s?
Yeah thats all me but my unit manager/ desk nurse is awesome and helps us all out a lot! :)
Well they use to tell us NOT to label the tops of the bottles because they can get mixed up!??Good video tho
true! bur who got two open bottles to mix up the tops? lol!!! also you are checking what youre pouring. never got cited by the state either been there since 2011 as a LPN on the same cart so..............
but you’re right, what’s right is right what’s wrong is wrong.
So if you're scheduled a 12 hour shift would there be 3 med passes?
Yeah, 9 am,1-2pm, and 5pm
do you check the Vital signs of all patients before coming with cart of meds? i mean how do you do it? vitals signs first? then meds then treatments? or you do everything the patient before going into another patient?
Meds first then vitals n treatments….
At my new job in rehab n ltc CNAs did all vitals first thing. It was awesome
In long term care you only take vitals before the med pass on pple who are sick so they can get their assessment in early. Then as I go I get my vitals on patients with blood pressure and pulse parameters as I get to their med pass. It’s easier n accurate to time of administration I don’t delegate parameter vitals.
At my job we had covid forms that had to be done for every single patient so those vitals would be done after breakfast at some point. Hope this helped
What are all the treatments you have to do? Thank you for the video!
Just a few wounds…. Glad you liked the video. 😉
how many residents under your care and what state you are workin'?
Was 27 . in pa
What do you mean by “doing your rounds” when you first got there
I have a video on rounds. I’ll link it. Doing your rounds means checking on every single one of your patients to make sure you know where they are, if they’re OK,and if they are breathing.

Thank you!
How long do you think it take to get a routine and remember what u need to do
omg, that’s a tough question. to get a routine down n be exposed to enough I’d say 6 months.
before 6 months you’ll be on the way probably, it also depends if your on the same assignment
Thank you
When you're a new grad lpn and you have to watch this because you didn't get a proper orientation 😮💨
I hear you girl. I hope it helps.
Do you not have a id badge? It’s so odd not seeing one on the chest
Lol I can’t wear it in the video, but yes I did have one.
Good video, but why do you tlk like that.
like what exactly lol
idk if this is what you’re talking about but i was talking real low so nobody would hear me doing a video at work> lol
If you’re using PCC, how were you able to filter times?
When you’re doing med pass when do you do treatments? During med pass or after? I need tips 🤍🙏🏾
I have a couple pcc videos
