1. Home Health Rapes

   Yave replied to RubicsCube's topic in Home Health

   I've been doing home care for 17 years. Never really thought of rape as an issue. Most of the time you think about how to say no when you're being offered coffee, tea, food and gifts etc... Families are constantly trying to include the nurse as a fam...

   I will not tell you to not look outside of nursing. However, there are many factors to consider. How old are you? Are you young enough to make a career change? What is it you really don't like about nursing? Are you burnt out because of situations yo...

3. Unsafe assignment?

   Yave replied to _Skittles_'s topic in Safety

   Hi Skittle, I am so sorry to read your unsafe assignment story. I empathize with you. I am not sure what nurses get from making assignments that seem almost impossible for the tasks to be completed. I see those nurses as burnt out. When an assignment...

   Yave replied to proud nurse's topic in Relations

   Proud nurse, you are not alone. I am beginning to be so sick over what is or what nursing has become or maybe what it always was. Nurses don't care. I worked with a nurse just recently. She was the medication nurse on the unit. Twelve out of twenty s...
