2. Has anyone ever worked a "double shift" ie 16hr shift?

   MsDorsey replied to chingy1206's topic in General Nursing

   I worked a 32/40 weekend shift at a LTC. It was difficult to say the least. I had five days off during the week, but it wasn't worth it. 2 double shifts back to back is a disaster waiting to happen. I was so tired after working those two days, that I...

   Hi Toni, I'm not surprised to hear the class hasn't changed much. But, at least you got to spend some time working with the machine. In my class, we literally went in and listened to the instructor talk about the machine. She didn't even set it up or...

   MsDorsey replied to Toni3's topic in Urology

   Hi Toni, Sorry, I didn't get back to you before now. I started training a new patient this week, so I've been pretty busy to say the least. Glad to hear you made it to the Home Hemo class. I attended the class last fall. I got some good things out of...

   MsDorsey replied to Toni3's topic in Urology

   Ok, sounds like we're in the same boat. My center is attached to an in-center unit that does nocturnal also. I'm the only home hemo nurse. So, far I haven't had to go to patient's home to assist with cannulation. The pt's are well-trained, so I usely...

   What company do you work for? I'm assuming Davita. If so, I can answer some of your questions. A lot of the answers to your questions are based on what type of unit you working. Freestanding or attached to an in-center unit? Are you the only nurse or...

11. Fertility clinics in GA?

    MsDorsey replied to JennicaRN's topic in Georgia

    Yes, it may indeed be timing. It also seems as if the recruiters are slow to respond or are just plain unavailable. It is unfortunate though because there are a lot of nurses out there willing to work. I am a new grad ADN, but I have LPN experience. ...
