They are restructuring... they are not closing down or at risk of closing down. Companies restructure all the time. That's how Donald Trump made his fortune. LOL ;0)

I work for Lifecare and they are only going through a "restructuring" right now. They are still hiring and offering really great sign-on bonuses for the nurses. I like it there!! ;0)

SO TRUE!!! You know how they talked us into getting rid of our unit clerk? By telling us that we would get another nurse... Instead of having 6 patients apiece, we would have 5. And then guess...

Not where I work... We have LPNs and RNs and we each have 6 patients apiece... It's every man for himself. The bad thing is that we are ALL getting burned out because it's almost impossible to help...

But maybe they will quit paying us with money and start giving us a bag of rice... like they do in CHINA??? :0[

You would think I'd be used to it after almost a decade but I'm not. Too many people complain-- and that gets to me after awhile. I should have gone to vet school. LOL

We are not that high-tech yet with having physician order entry but I think they were trying to go there but for some reason the advance has been delayed. Maybe it will help. But it's not gonna help...

Hello! I am only about 2 weeks into my new job and I am seeking advice about safety while traveling out and about as a hospice nurse. I won't be taking call for a couple of months but I am concerned...

I want to mention one other thing... I NEVER was under the impression that I'd walk into a facility and have them drop what they were doing to help me with all of my needs while I was visiting my...

And I'm not exaggerating about the wound care nurse-- she yelled at us and said that we could start changing his dressings EVERY day. *****!?

After almost 2 weeks there, I STRONGLY considered quitting today. So sad!!!! The freaking wound care nurse came in the room and yelled at my ADON (who is training me) for taking some dressings off my...

Well, it's going to be my route but I haven't actually been going routinely just yet. I just started a week 1/2 ago. I am going to try to develop a great relationship with them.

Hi. I was wondering how experienced case managers effectively handle going into nursing homes to assess your patients yet meeting resistance in turning, repositioning, assessing skin integrity. I...

"Other intravenous substances, additives, or medications should not be added to ZITHROMAX (azithromycin for injection), or infused simultaneously through the same intravenous line." Sooooooo......

I go to Weight Watcher's meetings when I can. I am 5'6" and my highest weight thru nursing school was 172. I'm now around 138. My personal goal weight is 135. I have been a lifetime member on WW...

Thank you to everyone for your comments, advice and information! It's VERY MUCH appreciated!! ;0)

My background is med/surg/telemetry, not post partum. I worked post partum a few times, but would prefer NOT to palpate a fundus and determine if it is boggy or not since I have been med/surg/tele...
