   There's always another job. No reason to love a job in a toxic environment.

   I don't know what's going on but I would get gone. If the boss doesn't like you it doesn't get better. Hugs.

   Do you need all those degrees?

   SuesquatchRN replied to dnsonthego's topic in Professionalism

   Yup I did it for me. Were I younger I would get some more education. For me. At this point I am too tired to deal with f/t work AND school. But I love learning.

   Assessing Acute Abdominal Pain vs. Cancer Abdominal Pain

   SuesquatchRN replied to Nurseknit's topic in Hospice

   So what does he think was wrong with your assessment skills? You identified an urgent problem and sent them to the unit. For the docs to figure that out.

   SuesquatchRN replied to NurseDianne's topic in Hospice

   What's the terminal diagnosis? Is your agency necessarily responsible for the dressing supplies?

   You must see your PCP and discuss your feelings. Depression and anxiety are medical conditions that can be managed. Ask me how I know.

    Should we teach unlicensed caregiver . . . . .

    SuesquatchRN replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Hospice

    We stopped using the cream because it's expensive to compound. And my agency is all about the census and bonuses.

    Books that help nurses deal with death

    SuesquatchRN replied to danceyrun's topic in Nursing

    No books. Just time and experience, and it will still hurt when you lose someone you care for.

    Not sure if I should switch....

    SuesquatchRN replied to HereInTX's topic in Hospice

    It should pay what you're making because you will work from 5 p Friday through 5 a Monday. 24/7. I love hospice but in no way would I take such a position. I'm too old and tired.
