  4. CPAP Pt

    I have a 2yo pt who is uncooperative with their Cpap mask. I've changed the mask, have tried getting pt to hold mask, play with with while off to get them use to it and for a while pt was wearing it for 2-4 HR. RT did come out to check on the setting...
  5. **venting**

    I actually thought it would be a good idea if he stayed home with the kids. I've always worked ft and on my own I can support the family. I wish I could stay home with our kids but financially it was best for me to work and he stay home. I just didn'...
  6. **venting**

    I don't understand why they didn't give me any notice. The Schedular was surprised that I had no idea. She said I can't believe the parent didn't mention it, but then again I can't believe the agency didn't give me notice. I've thought about couples ...
  7. **venting**

    Right, that's what I think. If my pt gets hurt or I get hurt then I could lose my license and who knows when I'd be able to work.
  8. **venting**

    I just got off the phone with the HH agency I work for as PDN. I was asked what shift did I want to work now that my FT is switching agency...?!?!. I had no idea my pt was switching, so I asked when is my last day and she says oh I thought you knew, ...

    I work 10 hr shifts as a PDN. Two months ago I switched cases and started working night shift 5 days a week. Since then my left calf has been hurting, it's a constant throbbing regardless if I'm sitting, resting or walking. I've taken OTC pain meds w...
  10. Med Adm

    He complains about the taste. Just the thought of taking his meds makes him gag. That's why I try applesauce, yogurt, pudding. Sometimes he does fine and swallows his meds without any complaints and other days he just says he can't that they taste ba...
  11. Med Adm

    I have a 9 year old patient who refuses to take his liquid and pill form meds. He spits them out and vomits when they are given. He'll refuse saying they make him sick. I've made his mom aware of this and she said she will notify his Dr. There are da...

  13. Annual evaluation

    This will be my first annual eval with this company. I work for a home health agency and do PDN. Could anyone tell me what exactly happens? Before this I worked at a nursing home and did get an eval but didn't seem like a big deal, I was given a rais...
  14. Receiving report

    I do try reading other nurses notes but I know at 6am mom wakes up signs your paper and doesn't want to give you time to place it in his binder. I try placing it as fast as I can being that I'm only there once a week I don't want to take their copy h...
  15. Receiving report

    In October he had back surgery and I had no idea he even had that scheduled. I went in for vague report from mom during my assessment I saw his back bandaged up and my pt told me he had surgery recently. I looked in his notes nothing was mentioned an...
