1. Am I insane?

   anangelsmommy replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

2. Am I insane?

   anangelsmommy replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

   Libby, our administrative staff does not take clinical calls either. Our supervisors (BSN and above nurses) take these calls, to deal with issues in the field with caregivers taking care of clients. This particular issue was not a upset patient, s...

   I probably should add that even though I only work 3 days a week, I am on call for a full week. I logged multiple calls, and two nights with no sleep.

   anangelsmommy replied to Emergent's topic in Relations

   anangelsmommy replied to mindymanders's topic in General Nursing

10. First time ON-CALL and freaking out a bit!

    anangelsmommy replied to anangelsmommy's topic in Home Health

    I am getting the feeling that they do more and more. I already made them give me a raise. But it doesn't cover this. Everyone I know gets either a phone or money toward their phone bill and pay for the on call. Even if it is just a nominal amount...

14. What are your clinical practice issues?

    anangelsmommy replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    "Med reconciliation not done upon discharge, or in the ED. " Do you already use electronic health records? If so, is there not a place to do this, or does it not prompt you to do this? Forgive my ignorance as I do not work with them. But I will in ...

    anangelsmommy posted a topic in Private Duty

    I am taking an informatics class and I have to identify a clinical issue in the workplace that can be solved by technology. For instance, patient teaching solved by a patient portal. Of course with private duty, my company does not use any technolo...
