Hi all, I've been a home care nurse about 3 years. I notice in home care, a lot of pettiness, and sort click like environments at the office. I have a hard time with it because I suffer from social anxiety issues. Anyway I'm feeling bad because...

Hi, I'm struggling with a dilemma and I'm hoping for some advice. I work for a popular home care agency. They don't pay well at all, but I enjoy private duty, so I never complained. I'm on a case that I really like and the family is so nice, which ma...

I don't recall signing a contract. There's a lot of paperwork when I first got hired, so I may have signed something and forgot about it. Don't know what I'm gonna do from here...

Oh no, I guess I'll find out if my agency allows this. But I won't know until I give my current agency notice, which is gonna be a little nerve wracking.

Thank you, was the old agency understanding about that?

Hi, thanks for your response! It gave me the courage to call the other agency today. And they do have dayshift with my client! I'm just curious, what were the circumstances that had you moving to another agency on the same client?

Im curious as to what meds you are working with as a dialysis nurse. Are there many meds involved? If so, how do they help the patient undergoing dialysis? I'm asking because I'm thinking of getting into this specialty and want to understand it more ...

Hi nurses, I'm looking to build my boundaries as I got burned at my last assignment. I wanted to see about collaborating with you all in order to gain more insight into this important life skill. My last assignment was a bust. The family was al...

I dis speak to the CM and told her everything. No advice was given other than, "I understand" and that I'm not the first nurse that had a problem on this case.

Hi, I'm a fairly new nurse and I'm looking for areas of nursing to work in that doesn't involve the use of narcotics or benzos? Could you please share ideas with me? Thank you!

Thanks so much! Right now I work in private duty so I can pick and choose my clients. I love it! But the pay in on the low side for an RN, which makes me constantly on the lookout for new opportunities. Thanks again for your ideas!

Thank you for your responses! I'll check those out...

I'm seeking to work in an area of nursing that never involves giving narcs to people. Is there ever an occasion that you would give them? How about at a high school?

Thank you so much for your replies! It will help me make a better decision.

Oh yeah! That's a big draw for me. Thank you for your response☺

Thank you so much for explaining! Do you have to give narcs of any kind? I'm trying to get out of LTC because I hate giving heavy drugs to people. There's an overuse of benzos and opiods in facility nursing and I think it's wrong.

I feel stressed because I have this new job, as a new nurse at a skilled nursing facility. I like the work, the ratios are good, and the other nurses are angels. But I'm upset because scheduling keeps asking the full time nurses to work overtime, com...

Thank you for your responses, it makes me feel better to hear your advice. Leaving it for voicemail I can do, but they will often approach you at work about coming in, and that's gonna be harder for me to do. Im gonna have to practice boundary setti...

I also like registered nurse rn on YouTube. Here's one of her vids. Also this man's lectures...

Hi there, Im just getting back to nursing after graduating nursing school years ago so I'm refreshing my skills by using YouTube. There are a ton of skills videos you can watch. I'm a visual and independent learner and these videos are saving me righ...
