Hang in there. We all hyave had those difficult families, and facilities. You may want to consider scheduling a inservice on pain management and commonly used hospice drugs for the facility. Most nursing homes will not comply with the hospice recommendations unless the drugs are on a scheduled dose. PRN ......the patient will never recieve the med. Also you said your patient was not end stage but mid stage. It might be tme for discharge before you and your agency anr both in the hot seat for contining to re sert a inapporiate patient. If you have a lot of these type of patient on your census GET OUT QUICK

Hello Nurses This is my first post and I hope someone out there can help me. I currently work as a RN and I make a good salarie. I have been offered a position as management with another company however the salarie is about 2800.00 lower than my current position. This is bothering me and I am considering not accepting the offer. The perk of the new job is that it is extremely close to home and I wont have to buy as much gas. This firm also offers quarterly bonuses which if I meet the goals will make up for the 2800.00 loss. I think I feel that if this company really want's me they should at least match my current salarie. I should not have to take a pay cut to go into management. But on the other hand the job will look good on my resume. Did any other manager go through this pay reduction when moving into management. Your advice is needed!

Well said Shannon

Nursing school didn't go by fast for me, but after graduation and I started working the time is just flying. Torria
