Free Ear Savers at glowforge.com Blessings to all our frontline peeps!

There is still so little that is known about this virus. I have been listening to a podcast by a Dr. Chris Martensen, PhD where he goes over several up to date papers submitted from Chinese physicians and others. In one or more they talk about poss...

Do we not have a duty for self-care? If not, we cannot care for others.

Resign and open a business training CNAs, as the next 2 years or so will require huge numbers. Or look for something in telehealth, answering phone calls is about all I could contribute. Or sit down and start recording everything you can remember re...

I wondered if anyone here has had experience with the plastic bubbles that I see on the video of Italian patients being cared for due to Covid-19? Are those simply O2 personalized tents? Could a caregiver benefit from using an oxygenated bubble lik...

Verbal assaults only so far.. "I want to punch you in your FAT nose!" (The one part on my body I believe is still quite pert!) and "I will cut your T*ts off!" (Not quite as pert, but precious!)

Have you filled in the online application for employment with the State of MO? I went right to work 2 days after graduation May 2008 as a psych nurse. Also, try the VA.

Social Welfare Board, 904 S 10th St., St. Joseph, MO. 816-233-5188

Wow, sounds like your problem is similar to my own! I work at an adult facility (98% forensic) and I have a tech on my shift who is chomping at the bit for me to seclude any antisocial that pushes her buttons. (She has one in mind in particular.) ...

As part of yet another round of new employee orientation, the EHN came in with an Employee Health Questionnaire for us to fill out and sign for our official record...all confidential unless Admin. asks for it, of course. I find it irksome that my emp...

Thank you ownadobe, for your perspective. Essentially, the nurse said she was the only one with access to it, mainly so she could create employee wellness programs, but said that admin. could also ask for it. None of these assurances were written o...

Yes, all employees (we were told) are given the same check-off sheet... Do you now or have you had problems with the following: Swollen ankles Allergies G.I. or digestion Cardiac Asthma Smoke? How much? Since? Diabetes Last menstrual period ___/___/...

Just a couple of months in my new position, I am in a quandry! As a new grad, I am dropped in the middle of ward drama, and dealing with hostility (both open and in grievances that I have not seen) from my aides due to their perception that I am "no...

Using anything other than your facility's approved methods places you in legal jeopardy and the clients in physical danger. Be aware and leave yourself an avenue of escape, keep dangerous objects (weapons) out of reach, call and wait for help, and o...

Thanks for the reply inthesky. Last night the super said the tx team did listen and decided that coffee would be available from 5:30 - 6:00, THEN be dumped. She told the staff herself, and they didn't all quit, so that's a good thing too. Looks li...

Hey nursebreeze! Congratulations! I too took the test on 07/17 and just found out I passed with Quick Results. I have been working as a GN and didn't really have time to study as I had planned, but put in 4 full days of cramming using Princeton Re...

As a student, I took care of a Mormon lady who was beginning another round of chemo to try to hang on until her son's wedding date. She was so happy he had returned to the church from a wild youth. The chemo caused her embarrassing diarrhea, but I ...

We can all think of better ways to die, but we don't really get that choice, do we? What you choose for your LIFE is fine and dandy --for you. I know lots of seniors that are sitting in nursing homes, neither spritely or independent...SO? Yes, I h...

I did a clinical rotation in a county social welfare board clinic, wherein they accepted extra meds from the public and dispensed them to the county's indigent. They passed out meds that were up to 18 months over the expiration date as well, additi...

Non-smokers will have to face up to the fact that they are gonna die anyway. No matter how much clean living you do, something is going to kill you too. Smokers are just choosing to live life as they want to, and still the planet is nearing critica...

LOL! I love nursing typos! :yelclap:

Isn't there a computer program that would check the medication ordered against the client's diagnosis and require a manual override if the dosage were outside the safe range or contraindicated with other meds? I know when I used to work with durable...

I am sure Timothy has contingency plans in place for his daughter's coverage, so please don't think I am attacking him, but if this pre-term birth were visited on a "regular" person who is depending on employer-based insurance, their options are then...

This year our college health nurse required me to take a 2 part PPD, the second one week after the first. Is this going to become the new standard for healthcare workers? She said it is because you can be exposed, but your body may not build up eno...

You can look up statistical data by county at this Ohio website http://dwhouse.odh.ohio.gov/datawarehousev2.htm This kind of data mining was taught to us last semester in Community Health class. :) Good luck in your search. Joy, BSN student
