    O.M.G. i hate clinicals!

    Is this abandonment?

    I wonder if the OP was scheduled for a shift or was to book appointments for visits with the patient? Since she said she was to see the client 3x per week, I thought it was 3 visits per

    Co-worker in "trouble."

    I find it strange that they had this conversation before she got pregnant by another man. Crisis pregnancy centers are typically run by religious organizations that attempt to steer women away from...

    Is this abandonment?

    I don't think you meet the client beforehand in home health. I think you show up at the designated time, assume a cordial relationship, and go about your

    How much notice does a home health nurse need to give to avoid abandonment issues? It's an interesting question. It's even more salient considering how one typically doesn't give notice when...

    Is this abandonment?

    I wonder if some here are applying inpatient "abandonment" concepts to an outpatient setting. I'd be interested to see how abandonment rules apply to home

    For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    OK, I started this thread a while back. I bought the Dyson. I decided Bobbi Brown blush is better than NARS and got some of those. I'm not buying the Mini Cooper - I'm going to drive my rust bucket...

    CCNE Accreditation is important???( Urgent )

    Ava, Spoken words mean nothing in this type of thing. It matters if the program is accredited when you are enrolled. I cannot fathom attending an unaccredited program, especially when you have...
