Which one?? Or neither? Input from anyone with experience of these at home programs greatly appreciated. Thinking about going back to school but traditional classes will not work for me.

Hi! I have worked in LTC for 7 yrs. now and I don't believe Apap has anything in to actually make you go to sleep. I do believe that it helps my elderly residents with their pain, therefore they are more relaxed and able to get to sleep. I have arthritis in my knee and I know if it's hurting there's no way I can fall asleep. I also know from what my residents tell me that not all nurses are willing to take that extra step in giving out PRN meds. Sometimes I think we need to remember to put ourselves in the patients shoes,even when we're rushed because of staffing shortages.
