If You Could...

Offer counseling for parents so they can deal with their issues related to the disease process...rather than them taking out their anger/fear on the nurses.

PTSD therapy for nurses working in the bad homes! :)

Love it! Good idea.

Free wifi for the nurses.

Amazing benefits

If they travel X distance they have a company car or reimbursed for gas.

100% tuition reimbursement

You had me at "free wifi."

These just keep getting better and better.

Maybe we should start playing the lottery...

Oh. Since most of us wear scrubs... Free scrubs. You could pick company standard (company color with cute, catchy logo embroidered and name personalization) OR pick from the catalog of any + every Disney, Pixar, etc character you could dream of. :) :) :)

You had me at unlimited gloves and paper towels - lol!!

Free wifi and gas reimbursement sounds wonderful! I drive 52 miles each way for my case. I have a great car, but it adds up very quickly!

Technology for tele-visits with MDs. No more loading up all the effluvia of life and the kid, driving down to an appointment, unloading it all, for some post-rash checkup or other ridiculous reason to see the doctor. OR having the doc visit the home- to see just how 'clean' that one suction catheter a day is as opposed to authrorizing a Ballard!

52 miles each way would get ugly for my 13 mile per gallon gas guzzler!

Not a nurse but I know you all know I wouldn't pass this one up.

Laptop for each client home for charting, receiving copies of orders, having stuff organized. Wifi or air card paid by agency. Nurse IS allowed to use it for "personal" use while working.

Paying for a LANDLINE phone for each client home. Nothing freaks me out more than having no one in the home but a nurse, having a major emergency where she can't talk and the only phone she has to use is her own cell phone. At least on a home phone, in 99.2% of the USA, a landline phone gives the address.

Having a social worker or two ON STAFF to help with transition home, finding services that the family may not know about, assisting with difficult situations (hoarding, cleanliness, unrealistic expectations, etc.).

Hiring a parent partner (ME!!!!) to help new families with room organization, making go bags, setting up and maintaining care books, etc.

Tuition assistance for nurses wanting to get RN or advanced degrees.

Mileage reimbursement

Completely providing nursing related items if families can not provide (gloves, soap, paper towels, toilet paper, lotion, hand sanitizer, pens).

Medical equipment for each child so that the nurse isn't responsible for bringing it from family to family (stethoscope, BP cuff, pen light, flashlight)

"Scholarship" money to low income families for nursing related necessities (chair, desk, lamp, cleaning supplies).

Actual, high quality training opportunities for the nurses

Pay for ACLS, PALS, Neonatal Resuscitation, BTLS for every nurse
