2. List the most frivolous complaints you've received

   Sostuckrn replied to gardenpartyy's topic in Private Duty

   I could seriously write a book. Had a parent who complained about everything we did. You dripped. You left food in the sink. You turned too many lights on. You didn't turn the night light off at the crack of dawn. You talked too loud.

3. New vent, old topic

   Sostuckrn replied to JustNursn's topic in Private Duty

   I'm confused if you are not allowed to do these things or if you are wondering why no one can do them correctly. I will never understand some of the people deemed safe in pdn. Even if you warn the agency nothing gets done.

5. Terrible Twos?

   Sostuckrn replied to nicole anne's topic in Private Duty

   (Can you imagine going to court explaining that? Your honor, on that day I was busy doing laundry and making lunch for the patient while watching the patient play. The trach fell out and the child ran and wouldn't come back. Judge: I thought you we...

6. How do you quit a case, and do you feel guilty for it?

   Sostuckrn replied to nekozuki's topic in Private Duty

   The agency is also adding to the guilt. They are buttering me up and begging me to stay.

7. How do you quit a case, and do you feel guilty for it?

   Sostuckrn replied to nekozuki's topic in Private Duty

   Ok. I can see why you would say that. I also think it's natural to become attached to a patient you've cared for for years. I will take this as another reason why it's good that I'm moving on.

8. Old wives tales

10. Terrible Twos?

    Sostuckrn replied to nicole anne's topic in Private Duty

    I have dealt with this a lot also. I worked with a child who was extremely abusive to the nurses. He was 5, so not a toddler although his mental age was. He would kick you hard! He would get in his walker, get an evil look and come charging for you t...

14. Stay in pediatric home health or try for hospital job before moving to San Diego?

    Sostuckrn replied to nicolestanton's topic in California

    I think the experience trumps that. I tried for years to get a hospital job with pdn experience. If the market is as bad as I've heard, you could use varied experience. Plus 2 years is a good amount of time at a job.

    Definitely try for a hospital since you're not moving immediately. It sounds like the job market is pretty tough in ca.
