  3. Separate being Family vs Nurse

    Not really, my post is pretty accurate to his current condition. He currently has the cdif and 2 pressure wounds. He had one of the worst strokes the doctor has seen (his words, not mine). We are just trying to take it day by day. The crazy thing is...

    Thank you everyone for your responses. It is really hard to try and relay an experience that has been going on for months especially in text. When my dad first had his stroke I took a 3 month leave from work to be at the hospital with him and take c...

  6. Separate being Family vs Nurse

    Katiemi if you continued to read my post I stated "Both pressure wounds and cdif as most nurses understand are due to not being turned and most of the time poor hand hygiene from room to room." which I meant pressure wounds are from not turning and c...
  7. New grads, how long do you wait after applying..?

    I graduated in December but had been applying in September for our local residencies. I am in the DFW, TX area so the job market seemed pretty good this season. Best of luck to you!

    traumaRUS thanks for responding. He is there for rehab and our hope is he can come home but I'm not sure walking again is in the books for him and we all work full time jobs. Im not sure how we would be able to provide him around the clock care and m...

    Well said! I'm sorry to hear about your mom.
  14. Separate being Family vs Nurse

    Silly spelling errors, totally my bad. I appreciate everyone's advice. I did write my complaint in an emotional state so I will re read it. I appreciate all feedback. This has been so rough for me. I have always relied on nurses to help me understan...

    To answer a few points: 1. I currently work full time and cannot be there all of the time. So when I say his feet are not propped up I assumed nurses would understand that of course I prop them up and am always willing to change his diaper. I cannot...
