   Oh, tell me about it...half of them smoke and have the no smoking sign on their window. It drives me nuts! Yes, I was told the doctors are expecting us to get the patient to comply...I said "NO IT"S NOT" my job is to care, educate, be an advocate, a...

   Because it's all a numbers game, when we lose an oxygen patient, they don't like it. I told them in my interview that I was honest, hard working, and a patient advocate, and that I am ethical. Yesterday I said "I realize this is a business and they ...

   I think it would be like a hospital pharmacist charging for a pill when the nurse wrote "refused" because they were waiting for an order for the med to be dc'd. The o2 just sits in the patients home for weeks. They refuse to use it and want it picked...

   I have thought about leaving, but it's the first nursing job that I've had that I actually like, minus the the times I run onto patients refusing o2 and having to deal with my boss on this issue. My boss is a nice man, but this company is only inter...

   I am not a wocn, but have wound experience from a clinic. I am now the wound nurse at a skilled/hospital/rehab. I am seeing several patients with sores on the intergluteal cleft/crack. The nurses are calling them stage II when I am not sure if the c...
