Thanks! that's an awesome Suggestion. Even if it takes you until Sunday to send me a PM with examples, I will patiently wait and be sooooo grateful. Thanks in advance! :)

I'm doing extended care. 8 hours shifts ... Usually day shift.

We encounter this often and we are just told to buy house slippers that are hard on the bottom, and completely cover your feet. I'm wearing se right now as we speak. My company reimburses me but even...

That sounds unreasonable to me. I think you should at least look into your options elsewhere because you may not have to work 12 hour shifts to make the same..even if you did, at least it wouldn't be...

Yes it is normal. Lots of nurses who work with agencies get a second agency or another full time or part time to cover themselves financially

I think it varies patient to patient. I do all pediatrics an mostly infants now but when I did adults, there were hoyer lifts inside the homes for the heavy patients and if I couldn't turn a patient...

I agree 100% with this ^^

Based on what you said, I have to agree with the other posts. Stay where you are. Depending on your case, home health can give you more free time but it all depends on the patient. Some are hours of...

It sounds like you are doing skilled nursing visits vs shifts of 6+ hours... If so, they are typically something like that. You go in, do your assessment, address whatever their health concern is and...

Fellow nurses- I need help with my documentation!! I've read so many forums in here about nurses notes and what to include but they are mostly about how you write a nurses note for the hospital....

These are great suggestions. I spoke to mom again and let her know that if she doesn't control the child, she will have no nurses. That was Friday at the end of my shift. We will see how Monday goes!...

I just started working with a new home health case and the infant is precious and the parents are very kind. They speak another language as they are from another country so we have to call a hotline...

Thank you all for your responses! I agree with what you guys said and I spoke up. I told my office that I wouldn't be willing to work that vacation as it was no benefit to me. Now they are giving...

Our nurses can travel with patients if the child is medically fragile. However, I don't feel as though the compensation on my end is worth it.. I work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week with this child and...

I currently work Home Health and make $22 an hour all shifts. I needed more hours so I just got another job at a Pediatric Care center (Havent started yet)and they start $22-27 depending on the...

Wow guys, that was really encouraging. :) I really needed to hear that. I've been so stressed out but you're all right. I can do it, and if I fail something, I can take it again. Its not the end of...

Im an LPN and I am back in school working on my RN. I'm thinking of dropping out because I am struggling so much. I'm taking A&P for the 3rd time, (1st time in High school 5 years ago and second...

i passssed!!!! Omg! Thank god !!! I'm a real nurse now!

EVeryone feels like they failed, but if you stopped at 85, the odds are in your favor. I'm sure you passed. I just found I passed today and I went to 205 questions!! Dont worry. We passed the...

So I actually sat here and read from page one to the end, and I feel like if your test stopped at 85 questions, you're pretty much golden. For people like me whose test went the whole way to 205...
