    guest1143647 replied to uofanurse's topic in School

    Now this is making me nervous as a private duty nurse. How would I know what the parents put in the med

  2. Difference between case management and home health visits?

    guest1143647 posted a topic in Home Health

    I am new to home health visits. I always did shift work in the home. The jobs are really like night and day, and I am not sure why many people think if you work shift work in the home, that...

  4. Is this reasonable?

    guest1143647 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    This is correct. Lunch breaks are never uninterrupted though. So if you are eating,and a patient needs suctioning,you have to stop eating and go suction the

  5. Is this reasonable?

    guest1143647 posted a topic in General Nursing

    SO one of my peds vent/trach clients has Covid. His mom and dad plus two older brothers have it. I asked my nursing manager if I have to sit at the bedside for the whole 8 hours. She said I can...

  6. Tips for Avoiding Medication Errors

    guest1143647 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I just saw a post where the medication in the bottle was different in the one in the bottle. The nurse was reported to the board because even though the bottle is labelled"clonidine" the bottle...

  7. Medication Error in School

    guest1143647 replied to uofanurse's topic in School

    Your supervisor is an idiot. Why would she report you for something that is not even in the policy? It only mentions containers,not actually identifying the pill. I hate overzealous

  8. Which specialties of nursing have more autonomy and less micromanagement?

    guest1143647 replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Specialties

    Private duty and home health. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. When you need to ask an important question,expect to wait 2 days at most for a manager to answer. Most times,their answers...

  9. Home Health Nursing and Covid - better or worse?

    guest1143647 replied to Peachpit's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Worse. Residents in nursing homes get tested,and of course, by now most have received the vaccine. Even before vaccination,residents and staff were tested every week. I cannot say the same for...

  10. The Degrading "Meet and Greet"

    guest1143647 replied to panurse9999's topic in Home Health

    This agency I was going to work for did their meet and greets backwards. They had me do a meet and greet on a potential patient,then if I was OK with the case,the nurse manager would come open...

  11. Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

    guest1143647 replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    Reading this,and my other thread about Covid,reminds me of this agency I interviewed with. The supervisor told us if you are working a 16 hour shift,to ask the parents of you can take an hour break...

  12. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    guest1143647 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting topic. My family that still lives in the inner city think I am rolling in dough and "rich". While I understand their line of thinking, I resent having some them taking advantage...

  13. Is this reasonable?

    guest1143647 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    At present,I drink my coffee before I go into his home Pre-Covid I would snack at the bedside. So if you wanted to eat or drink something,you did it at the bedside. If the patient needed...

  14. Is this reasonable?

    guest1143647 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    His bedroom is very tiny,so you would need to sit in the kitchen,hence me asking the question.You can still see him from the kitchen,but his nurses sit in the room with him. I had no choice but to ask...

  15. Is this reasonable?

    guest1143647 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    True. The other agency that was servicing the client pulled all of their nurses when he was first diagnosed. They told parents they can care for him and that they did not want their nurses

  16. Difference between case management and home health visits?

    guest1143647 replied to guest1143647's topic in Home Health

    That is all I ever heard from experienced nurses. Most home health nurses around here say they do not write care plans. They only make visits. With this agency,the full timers case manage. The...

  17. HH Case Manager job offer - would like feedback

    guest1143647 replied to Peachpit's topic in Home Health

    What does the admissions team do? I am not familiar to Home health visits,but I always thought one nurse opens the case and does the care plan,and then another nurse performs the interventions...

  18. Is this reasonable?

    guest1143647 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I am protected from severe disease if I happen to become infected,that is true. From what I've read on CDC website,vaccinated individuals can still get infected and pass the virus to unvaccinated...

  19. Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    guest1143647 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Old houses can be money pits. Something almost always breaks,and constant updating. Rusted pipes,needing to replace a 60 year old broiler,needing to add ducts for central air,etc. That...

  20. Is this reasonable?

    guest1143647 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I thought so too. But it seems many PEDS nurses and parents want your eyes on the patient at all times except for bathroom breaks. Most also want you to sit at the bedside. One mom called the company...

    guest1143647 replied to Peachpit's topic in Home Health

  22. Is this reasonable?

    guest1143647 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Another manager from another agency stated I need to sit outside the room. She stated the 6 ft rule too,but she said it is best to sit in another room and check on the client often. All with full PPE...

    guest1143647 replied to 1gr8trnstudent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am angry that CNA's and HHa's are not getting hazard pay ,and most only make $2 more than grocery store
