  3. Bed Bugs!!!

    Well, the first case that had bedbugs, I told the company, they told me I had to tell the family so they can get it taken care of. I told the family & they were already aware of it, just 'forgot' to tell us nurses. This other case, my agency told...
  4. Bed Bugs!!!

    Ok, I have been with this nursing agency for almost a year now. I was working a peds case for a couple of months when I discovered the family had bed bugs. I'm sure you've all heard how bed bugs have resurged in the past years. I understand that an a...

  11. Frequently changing a scheduled med's schedule

    So glad I don't have to deal with that crazy woman anymore! My replacement finished her orientation today and I start a new case Monday! I wish the best of luck to her daughter and pray that she treats the next nurse better so that they can take care...
  12. Frequently changing a scheduled med's schedule

    I totally agree! I think the mom would be upset if I did call the pediatrician because she thinks she has to handle everything & I know I won't have the support from the other nurses seeing how they just do whatever she wants them to do. But this...
