Hi! I'm just trying to see something here. Has any of you ever case managed 30 home hospice patients with 4 LPNs? And if you do, how often are you required to perform a visit? If you do a visit, do you perform a full visit (full head to toe assessmen...
starlite, i'm sorry to hear about your bad news. don't beat yourself up over thinking you should have done a million more questions. i'm going to tell you what my charge nurse told me when she saw me trying to study at work: You already know the in...

How do people expect us as nurses to take care of patients and not take care of ourselves? I know how weak i get if i don't eat and guess what? I WILL find time to eat, even if i have to stuff it in my mouth and go. I WILL NOT kill myself trying to...
that after you said it, you wanted to disappear into thin air? i was asked a question today in class about hyperglycemia to which i said something to the effect of giving dexrose to treat it! wth was i thinking? at least i caught my spoof. i know b...
