Hi I presently work at an Alzheimer's unit assisted living in OR. I am an RN and have worked there for 4 months. I have been offered the HSD position. I love it here I just don't know what to negotiate for. I have been an RN for 13 yrs I interview on the 15th which is basically I am guessing the money part any suggestions would be great

I work as an RN at an assisted living Alzheimer's facility. I absolutely love it. I have worked there for 90 days and wonder what took so long to find my niche. I love the nurses, care staff and most of all the residents. :redbeathe

Hi thank you all for your replies. Pt was able to pass urine. The reason I called the phy is that I couldn't find anyinformation on the home health that takes care of his Foley. I do relize that today I will have to go in and find out exactly what our protacal is. We have no supplies for foley care except what each home health brings in. After reading all your answeres. I think I did fine just would have sent pt to ER sooner for his own comfort. inthe future I will make sure all infromation on homehealth and what they would like us to do is in the chart. Second look upour facilties exact policy. Thank you all for your responses. I am so glad I found this site

Call to phy spoke with advice nurse. I suggested deflating balloon and reposition. she stated no as long as he does not have a fever of 101.5, flank pain or no urine to offer fluids and wait till am and call home health that takes care of his cath. Pt temp elavated to 101.2 increase confusion a increase in weakness. sent pt to Er. Er nurse calls and is appaled that foley was not just removed. My stance is I followed the advice nurese. Phy nurse. If I removed Cath Pt could hemorage. Lpn at facilaty states she would have just taken it out. Any advice thank you
