  1. As a hospice field nurse there was an 80 year old man married to a woman in her 30s. Gigantic penis. His wife was a mail order bride he proudly said. Anyway. He had a catheter fetish. Yes, he had to have an indwelling catheter or he or his wife could...
  2. The hospice pt's daughter's house was dusty, cluttered, dishes in the sink, and musty sheets, stained rugs: she refused our hospital bed when i coudn't get the DME company to provide a brand new one. I had to explain that all equipment is refurbished...
  3. I saw another nurse assault a patient

    You are a mandated reporter. Period.
  4. Hospice Admissions nurse

    Be prepared to be in constant contact with your Service Center and management. You will have an admission that you will be driving to then you will be re-routed somewhere else because the one you were on your way to fell through. Be prepared to be a ...
  5. This isn't the hospice I used to know

    I have families tell me right up front, "She's not dying. We want diapers and meds. When she's gone can we keep the meds?"
  6. Vent about toiletting patients

    Actually, those "few" lazy CNAs are why you are doing lots of answering the call lights and toileting pts. Management needs to re-place the "few" lazy CNAs. I do not miss acute care for this reason.

    I'm just glad I do hospice and don't have to watch annoying co-workers act passive-aggressively all day. So glad to be done with acute care--10 years away, oh happy day!

    Because you haven't blocked them yet.
  10. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Actually, people like this CNA, I do as follows: I mention to them to consider the LVN or RN program. To that I have heard over and over, each time I ask a CNA to do this, "No way; way too much responsibility. You guys are responsible for EVERYTHING ...
  11. What keeps you going as a nurse?

    I stay because I have a 19 year old daughter in college. I stayed in a career I've disliked and tried to make work since 1994 for my child's sake. It's stable employment, being an RN. Yes, the money is good; however, money isn't everything. it's 14 l...
  12. I like hospice case management because I am alone practically all day; driving to/from pt's homes and facilities. If a patient's condition changes I text the doctor for the orders I need. It's great. I do have to go to meetings and IDT, but I can sen...
