  1. Baylor Home Health

    I work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I usually have 6 to 7 points each day. That is considered full time. If I see patients Monday-Thursday I get PRN pay per visit. I also get bonuses from time to time. We have a surgeon that orders 8 hr antibiotics ...
  2. Call blocking question

    My employer uses an app called Office Line. When I make a call using the app from my cell phone our office number is displayed on their caller ID. It works 99% of the time. I love it!
  3. How is this cheat sheet?

    I have worked in Home Health for about four years. I made a cheat sheet when I first started that was about five pages long. Over time I have streamlined my cheat sheet, and even though I can now do an Oasis with my eyes closed I use the sheet for ev...

    1. State (city would be nice) Reading, PA 2. Salary $30.62/HR plus $1.50/HR weekend differential (I work Friday through Monday 10HR days.) 3. Benefits 403(b), dental, vision, and an HSA that I contribute $200.00 per pay. I get $0.53 per mile. I ear...
  5. gowning and gloving technique

    Some open their gown on a prep table then open a pair of gloves on top. The towel is picked up first, slid out from in between the gloves and the gown, then the gown is picked up from the edge and the gloves slide off onto the sterile wrapper. Others...
  6. gowning and gloving technique

    I work in a large OR (24 rooms). We have had an influx of new and traveling techs and RNs recently. Most of our employees have never worked anywhere else. There have been some heated discussions about gowning and gloving. My question: Is it acceptabl...
  7. What's the weirdest baby name?

    I was reading through our black book last week and came across Anonymous. I almost peed myself.
  8. Pitocin as a secondary on a pump?

    Our pumps have removable channels. Each pump can control up to four channels. We run everything through the pump. LR@125 is always the mainline. Pit gets a channel and runs into the mainline closest to the vein. Antibiotics run from a secondary above...
  9. Do you use gel when inserting Cytotec?

    Yes, but not the regular stuff. We use Acid Jelly. I guess I should add that RN's don't insert in our state either, we assist the Residents.
  10. Symposium: information needed

    I'm not really sure what GOD has to do with, but since you are the only person that responded to my post, thanks.
  11. Hello! I will be graduating from an ADN program in June. A symposium project will be 30% of our grade. My clinical group was assigned the topic of Health Care Organizations and the Nurse. My portion of the presentation will be about how outside organ...
  12. Any chance of an ADN going straight into L&D upon graduation?

    I'll be graduating from an ADN program in June. I applied for a position in LDRP in December and I was hired in February (actually might have been January, it's all a blur ). I start June 27th! I just finished up clinicals in MCN today in the hospi...
  13. Nursing School Hours?

    Sorry! I thought you meant missing school! Good luck with everything! Lisa
  14. Nursing School Hours?

    In my program clinicals are mandatory! We are not allowed to miss any time at all. If we have a major crisis (as in a death in the immediate family, or projectile vomiting and explosive diarrhea at the same time) we have to make up the time we missed...
  15. Maternity position interview questions.

    I agree 100% that it is how you present yourself, but it doesn't hurt to have an idea of what you'll be asked so you can actually speak without fumbling for words. I am usually very laid back and I am not shy at all. I function quite well until I fee...
