  4. Questions for you wonderful OB Nurses!!!!

    That's great that you want to work OB. I worked in OB for over 15 years and NEVER thought that I would want to work in any other department. In the last 5 years I have taken my career to Home Health and LTC and Hospice. I had several doctors who ...

  10. Rumor? Re: RN's in LTC & Medicare

  12. Rumor? Re: RN's in LTC & Medicare

    What do you mean that u are in trouble if what happens? Having an RN THERE or NOT there? We have our DON and ADON to call if needed. But when I am not working, there are no other RN's on duty. ALL the other nurses are LPN's.

  14. Med error~Hard to explain on paper!

    Oh yes! I know too well of the error that I made. That's probably my point. I KNOW better! I absolutely LOVE having students and orientees. When I had nursing students with me in Home Health and Hospice I think I tried to teach TOO much! I wa...
