    Call in sick over cut on hand?

    In 1995, I laid open my hand opening up a can of cat food, sutured the wound myself, worked at a LTC facility which had rampant MRSA and never had any problem, probably as I practiced good universal precautions.

    Can I work in a NH with 6 months experience?

    I appreciate your problem-solving solution, Sweetme, however LTC agency work can be like being bathed in the Fires of Hell. The agency psych nurses I worked with required only a license and spontaneous respirations.

    Update to mental breakdowns

    Overwhelming, Izzy. We have expectations of ourselves, and if we cannot meet those expectations due to a fragile mental status which symptoms are exacerbated due to multiple life crises, the situation is compounded. To commiserate, around 2...

    This is a great story and thank you for posting in the Artis Forum, side show! This part sounded familiar, so I looked through my archives and came up with this from March 2022: We could collaborate on a book, you know? "Story by ...

    Advice on Home Health Boundaries

    "Boundaries" is a good germ to use, Jane Doe, and those we serve, their families, need to be given guidelines. When I worked in HH 30 years ago, the patient or guardian signed a contract which specifically stipulated the services to be rendered....

    Other Options for Nurses

    Sometimes we have to kiss a lot of Warhols before we find our Rembrandt, Jpweston. For example, I started out in nursing by being hired by the hospital where I took my LPN program. In seven years with that facility, I moved around three times. M...

    Anesthesia question

    Anyone who has behaved in any way before has a higher propensity to behave in a certain manner than one who has not behaved in that way. Now, when one endeavors to change a manner of behavior, it doesn't mean they lose all trappings of that behavior....

    Anesthesia question

    YEARS ago, when I had a colonoscopy, a woman with who I had had a brief affair with some years before worked in the GI lab. We became platoic friends and ended up working in the same medical center. I specifically requested that she not assist in the...
  15. LTC is a good background for geriatric psych since the population has comorbidities and is generally housed in a medical center where transfer to med/surge is a possibility. In my area, the pay is good and the workload is tolerable.
