  1. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Thanks! If I asked you "Would you be willing to scramble an egg?" Would you hold it against me? I wouldn't hold it against someone who said "no", but I'm curious if I should avoid asking. What...

  2. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you all! This is super helpful. Can you tell me about how you handle food? Is simple food prep (e.g. heat up the left over salmon from last night, or cut this avocado into pieces for him, or...

  3. Sunday Breakfast Recipes

    nursenmom3 replied to Gods_nurse's topic in Parish

    If you find a breakfast food that makes kids sit still you would definitely be God’s Nurse in my house! We pretty much rotate 3 breakfasts in the house. On the days that I work, it’s always...

  4. Did you live alone, worked while going to nursing school?

    nursenmom3 replied to Hanhxx's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have to live alone? For the first year, I worked as a CNA and lived with other students near campus. 4 of us crammed into a 1 bedroom apartment to save money. It was tight, but also lots of...

  5. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    That's a good idea. Having your forms does seem like it would make it easier. When I say I'm not worried about the documentation piece, it's not because I mean I won't take care of it. It means that...

  6. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    For the bolded, I guess what I'm asking is what happens if I transport the nurse one way, away from their car, and then can't transport them back? For example, nurse is working until 5, at 2 kid...

  7. Do you have a side hustle?

    nursenmom3 replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    That is an awesome plan! I would love to visit someplace like that with my kids. One thing that would make it more interesting to us would be wheelchair access, and clean accessible bathrooms!...

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you! I am eager to read it. Your insight here has been super

  9. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you everyone! That is super helpful. We haven't even requested day nursing, but if we did, we'd request on the days when I work. Our infusion schedule, and therapy schedule is set. We're...

  10. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    @Crystal-WingsSorry to come back to the same post, but I'm still thinking about this question of coming to a doctor's appointment. All of my kids' local specialists are at a Children's hospital...

  11. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    The first bolded part is why I need this thread. It would never occur to me to bring a nurse to the doctor. We need a nurse so we can go to work, and sleep. If there's a doctor's appointment, then...

  12. Do you have a side hustle?

    nursenmom3 replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    I just looked at your FB page. Fascinating! You're on the other side of the globe from me, so I just looked out of curiosity, but thank you for

  13. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you! I feel like one thing that's coming across on this thread, is that once we find someone, they might be thrilled to find us, because many of your patients' parents sound awful! I will say...

  14. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    nursenmom3 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but that does't seem to be the situation here. The OP's friend hasn't been offered any position, much less accepted. She's been told that if she gets an offer it will be for a different...

  15. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Awww thanks! You are very kind. It is overwhelming, but I'm still aware that I'm going overboard. My husband and son and I are out of town because my son was admitted to an out of state hospital...

  16. Single mother working 12 hours night shift

    nursenmom3 replied to NolaBCbabeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn’t realize there was a daycare in the mix! In that case my first suggestion, if it turns out that your mom isn’t up to the task, would be to ask some of those early shift workers at daycare...

  17. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    nursenmom3 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    As a hiring manager you are not allowed to ask questions that open you up to the possibility of being accused of discrimination. So, when the candidate tells you that they are moving to be close to...

  18. "Not sure what unit you will be hired into..."

    nursenmom3 replied to TitaniumPlates's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the accusation that the nurse manager lied is unfair. 4 weeks is a long time, it’s possible, for example, that other candidates have been given offers for the original positions but...

  19. How to make a PDN job appealing?

    nursenmom3 replied to nursenmom3's topic in Private Duty

    Sorry, but I keep reading the archives and coming up with new questions! I just read a post where someone was complaining about parents providing medical care while the nurse is there. The complaint...

  20. Single mother working 12 hours night shift

    nursenmom3 replied to NolaBCbabeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just chiming in to say that this strategy was super helpful once my kids were past the stage where they might wet the

  21. How do I transfer non ambulatory pt from WC?

    nursenmom3 replied to cutescrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, that tram does look interesting. He doesn't use a gait trainer. The biggest things that prevent him from walking more are severe end stage arthritis in his feet, and very low exercise tolerance...

  22. How do I transfer non ambulatory pt from WC?

    nursenmom3 replied to cutescrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Ktiger! I don't see how a sit to stand lift would work for our specifics anyway. I like the idea of a ceiling lift. The question is whether they'd qualify him. It can't hurt to

  23. Do you have a side hustle?

    nursenmom3 replied to Mrsvirgomama's topic in General Nursing

    My current side gig is "parent", but I taught piano lessons to little kids on the side during nursing school, and continued doing so for a while after I got my nursing degree. A few of my close...

  24. For Primary Care, can an NP ever be as skilled as an MD?

    nursenmom3 replied to alexamasan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you for what you do! Now, I've probably jinxed myself, and the next NP we get in the ER will be a jerk. If so, I'll come back and report!

  25. For Primary Care, can an NP ever be as skilled as an MD?

    nursenmom3 replied to alexamasan's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We use an NP as a primary care provider for all of our kids, the two healthy "easy" ones, and my medically complex/medically fragile/technology dependent one. My complex kid joined our family...
