I work with quite a few developmental delayed/disabled patients. It takes a patient and knowledgable person to work with them. They seem to sense what is in the heart of the person working with them.They respond well to gentleness and kindness.I have...

ENSURE, a great supplement, or a multi-vitamin with minerals. I never drink the ensure and take a vitamin on the same day(double dose vit/min.) Ensure comes in great tasting flavors, i like butter pecan. Fruit/veggie blender juices are good too.

I agree with you, however, no one is perfect. I am slim, in good shape, eat as healthy as i can, but i do smoke. Something that bugs me even down to the smell.I'm very paranoid about what people think about a nurse with this nasty habit, knowing what...

Please, if anyone finds out where to get them please e-mail me. I would love to have one !!!!

I dislike sounding ignorant but is there a circumstance whereas the nurse cannot check placement for NG feedings? Is that a special order?

I don't feel this would be the time to think outside of the box.I have nothing against a patient going home or anywhere else, something that may benefit both parties, however, the proper documentation, orders, etc. must be done.WE are responsible fo...

I AGREE !!!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Think positive and anytime you need to talk, i'm here

My sentiments exactly !!!!!

This sounds like bordering on incompetence.I really would be afraid to work with her. Someone needs to talk with her and try to find out what's really going on, be it personal problems, anger issues or just plain incompetence. Such poor assessment sk...

I agree with other posters. You have a right to think, believe, serve anything you want, you don't have a right to force your beliefs on someone else. Tolerance is the key.I would not have it prominent but tasteful and inconspicuous.

Thank you FHE3. I felt it was absurd too. I don't know why they told me that but i'm certainly going to find out!!!!!

Hello Grouchy, come post anytime, we will listen because you're right, only nurses understand nurses and it doesn't matter what state you work in the problems are pretty much the same.

Hi Karen!!!! Talking about picking your battles, this is a MAJOR one.Although i am in homecare at this particular time, i feel the pain and understand what the nurses are saying. I agree this is a critical healthcare issue,relating directly to qualit...

In my opinion....The best thing since sliced bread,but proceed with caution,YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM!!!!! If you are a kind and fun loving person and with your background you will be fine.I made the transition from adult to peds care and i lov...

When working in facilities ifound that computers slowed me down, i prefer paper also. Entering labs, test results etc.just seems to slow me down and for goodness sake don't let a nurse forget or don't have the time to log in the information, everythi...

I have always worked with more than one agency. you're right, sometimes cancellations are a problem. So depending on how much you wish to work or where, it's a good idea to be with more than one.There,s no limit

Chances are these duties are assigned because that assures that it will get done. Housekeeping is not responsible for such things as the med cart , refridgerator, nurses station etc. I don't believe they are to get near them. But that is as far as it...

NURSES CALL THE SHOTS !!!

Questions..Questions...Questions ??????? Where will this lead? Is this ethical? Have we over stepped the boundaries? i suppose thinking as a nurse i should look at the good that can come from embryo cloning medically,but it's frightening to me as...

To the best of my knowledge they create the embryo, then destroy it to get the cells. They also can implant the embryo into the womb and grow a human clone !!!

Hello Lynn Bee and welcome. I don't quite understand what your instructors are saying??? Of course two different people at different times can get a different B/P reading. B/P's fluctuate. You can also get a different reading in left arm vs. right, ...

Pancreas or Gallbladder ??

I feel as though i was "called to be a nurse," in other words born to be in this profession. By that i mean my true nature is goodwill to others, not just my patients/clients/residents, but to everyone that i meet or deal with in my personal and ever...
