We have one now. Took us a while to get prepared (after resident was admitted of couse) Are you seeing more? What are you doing to prepare? Any special policies or procedures?

Of course it is after the resident has arrived. Will the bed fit through the room door. Let me guess they are medicaid as well. As well, they will be on the call light 24/7 wanting every thing done for them and NOW.

I am a nurse and I am doing the steps to go through the bariatric procedure. Believe me I will not be on the call bell 24/7 I will want to help myself and get healed so that I can be home with my family and getting a good start on the rest of the program. The program takes a lot of hard work and strength to even get to the point of the surgery. Please give people more credit. Yes I do have a medical card, I am in school full time, my husband works full time and I work per-diem but we just cant make it with the way things are right now in today society. Just b/c people have a medical card doesn't mean they lay around allday and do nothing and sponge off the system. NOt all people do that.
