  1. Working in unpleasant conditions

    I had one case in which I had to go in at 10pm. They were very strict about having ALL of the lights off. The first night I almost broke my neck after tripping over a bunch of toys in the hallway. That same night, I went to use the restroom and the f...
  2. Intro to Home care, needing some advice

    Just be yourself and be honest...if hired, you will be spending a large amount of time with the family and it would be awful to be fired later on because you aren't who you seemed to be in the initial meeting. I wouldn't go into too much detail about...
  3. Not affectionate enough???

    Sorry to have taken so long to respond to your comments, I've been working some extra shifts. I was told this by one of the other nurses...it supposedly was said to her by the Mom. I haven't addressed the issue with the parents as yet. Part of me thi...
  4. Not affectionate enough???

    I was recently informed that I am not affectionate enough with my toddler patient. I play with him, do plenty of activities with him, give him a pat on the head when I get there...not when I leave since he's still asleep. A couple of the other nurses...
  5. Is Excelsior the right choice?;)

    I'm currently enrolled at Excelsior. I haven't had any problems/complaints so far. I love not being stuck in a classroom. I've talked to several nurses in my area who went through Excelsior...they didn't have any complaints.
  6. PDN is killing me!

    I love my job, but I will admit that it can be boring at times. However, I choose to look at it like this: I have an opportunity to study (I work nights), I am fortunate to be placed with an amazing family in a safe neighborhood and there is ZERO dra...
  7. Do your families give you anything for the holidays?

    My main case gave me a card and $25 gift card. I was very surprised as I had only been with them for a month. I would had been happy with a simple "Merry Christmas"...seriously. I'm thrilled to have this case...safe home/neighborhood, sweet client an...
  8. Behaviors and Failing to Chart Them

    Interesting way to get them to perhaps see what I see. Thanks!
  9. Military Time

    I haven't had a chance to ask the DON. I work nights so it's hard to catch her. I'll probably end up just leave a note under her door about it. She sees my reports at the daily meetings so I would think that she would have mentioned it by now if it w...
  10. Behaviors and Failing to Chart Them

    I work in a LTC facility. We have quite a few residents with behaviors. We have special forms to document these behaviors but no one does so...except me. End of shift report includes "no behaviors this shift" and there certainly ARE behaviors. I'm th...
  11. Military Time

    I was recently told by several nurses at my facility that we are not to use military time in our documentation. This is not stated in my handbook and the DON has not said anything ot me about it. I strongly prefer military time since we chart by hand...
