We only get PICCs except one of my guys came back with a central. Of course, I have never been trained on one so have researched it. I have read that prior to flushing one is supposed to check for blood by drawing back - push/pull. Well, I did that...

I had a lousy day. Get in and a 93 yo lol who had stomach pain the day before - I had repositioned her and it alleviated it - was puking and sick. Call the doc and am missing a vital sign he wanted. Felt like an idiot. Get the order to send her o...

I was hearbroken by this horrible news. I can't imagine the anguish that must have precipitated this. My thoughts are with all affected by this. May they be at peace.

Nowhere else is it permissible to crack up over a death. Nowhere else are gross things normal. Nowhere else can I vent about a ream of awful prima donna patients without being told I have no compassion. Y'all know who you are. And thanks. ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Honey, hang in. And never believe what you're promised on the interview. Hugs.

The perforation signs you mentioned can also indicate cancer.

Birkenstock. Pricy but they last forever.

How did you get in with your phone? They're pretty clear that you empty everything, including phones, and put them in a locker.

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

Oh, hells no.

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.

And you have been polite to me? I was blunt. You and other have been rude.

I did not say that. So much for reading comprehension. Thank you.

Oh, for goodness sake. You were quite clear that you wanted her quiet because she was disturbing the other residents. How you got from that to eating one's young I don't know. Personally, I don't have a problem with sedating someone for the greater...

My problem with your request is that you are looking for a chemical restraint. Think long and hard before doing that - or at east, don't post about it on a message board.

No. But I would certainly be looking for another job.

I think I love you, Al.

I hate when I set myself on fire. Harshes the whole darn day.

I have a bin in the trunk. A file rack is on my front seat. A smaller bin with gloves, alcohol wipes, etc is on the floor in front.
