Yes, I have had problems with my signiciant others mostly because I pick partners that aren not availble on level or another. Other are work relationships, there is always one person that I have trouble with. I just started a great job and the nurse ...

Hi,That's a great idea and wish you all the presence of mind. Does any one know why we loss some much stuff. If there is anyone out there that can relate to this topic and has some suggestions I would appreciate it alot.

Hi Can anyone give me the hourly rate for HH or rate per visit? How many hours are spent after you get home on paper/computer work? Thanks

Yes HenayneiLLNC Please send me what I should look for in the yellow pages or what? You can send me a private note or whatever. Thanks, BB

Does anyone know the type of nursing where you screen the person in their home to see if they qualify for health insurance?

I too had a preceptor from Hell. She was burned out, wanted to go part time, and in charge and she did not need to be a preceptor. I would keep up your license and ceu in case you want to go back. Also you need to know that if you stay away from acut...

I certainly can. Having ADHD and dyslexia and going thru menopause is not working for me so unless I can do nursing that does not involve giving medications; I will try doing doggie day care. If anyone knows the official name of the nursing consultin...

I can relate to piling things up at the front door and mutli tasking at home but when it comes to giving medications I miss some. Have you got ways that you use when you give meds at work so you wont make a mistake. I am going thru menopause and its ...

I've decided to give up nursing because it seems like no matter what I do I make medication errors. Even though I went back and took the RN refresher course and passed the MEDICAL/SURGICAL certification (with special accommadation is why) I just don'...

Thanks for your reply. I had an interview at a SNF and would be unit manager doing in MDS and an occasional 16 hour shift giving meds and tx. which scares me. I also gave an interview at a jail so we will see. i don't have alot of confidence at thi...

I was fired from my 3rd job yesterday. I wanted to die but I promised my friends I would keep trying. I feel I was set up,I'm in my late 50's and I can't go as fast as these young nurses. I was trying to give medications and do tx.for the first time ...

I can relate to all the dissatisfaction with meds but I find my pharmarist is such a helpful resourse. I can tell you my experience and I have read this in many books: Menapause makes it worse. I can not keep my house straighten around especially my ...

Where is your patience, what if that was you Mom or Aunt, memory problems start around age 50 and not everyone is medically oriented or organized.

In the day health I worked in it was alot of politics, if the nurses happened to be friends then they would not fill out an incident report. As far as the supervisor she did not come up with any solutions for errors, except one solution. I had to try...

Hi Nursing Student, Here is a great quote from one of the members ALSO...for anyone in school you might get accomodation because of the ADA act. I have twice the time for exams/quizzes as well as a quiet distraction reduced environment. It is worth c...

Jason, If it was just about being in control you would think someone out of all the nurses would be able to do this. Its not about being in control its a neurobiological disorder so I would suggest that you get educated on the matter before giving a...

The problem was I was away from nursing for about 17 years and went back and took an RN refresher. Took a job on an epilsey ward, lost that in 2 monthes because I had not been dx. and wasn't on medication. I took this 2nd job hoping I could build my ...

I can certainly relate to everyone. I work at a clinic where I build medisets for 8 hours aday which is not great for someone with adhd. All the nurses are making mediction errors but it seems I have made more and my are more serious. They have me on...

We are never too old, I was away from nursing for 20 years. Took a RN refresher in Fl. in that time period but the time was not right for me to return to hospital nursing. I did do home care for a year after being away from med/surg 10 years and tha...

I had been away from hospital nursing for 19 years and went back and took an RN refresher course in the NW. It was a 6 mon. class with clinicals and was a good program. However being away from nursing that long and then trying to start working again ...

The clients have hx. of amphetmine abuse. If I had to do it all over, I would not have mentioned to anyone at work that I had ADHD. I found that I can not trust the people I work with.

I read on this forum that another nurses with ADHD can read an order and miss part of it. The ex. was tylenol 325 mg. 1-2 q4-6h for HA. She would not even see the 1-2. I have that same problem and can't figure out if its my ADHD or my dsylexia.

I not only have ADHD but dyslexia as well. It makes life much more difficult to the point, I want to leave. Does anyone else have this combo?

Some of my clients have the most perfume on but I don't think they are included in the No Perfume rule which is absent minded.
