  1. Heel pain reducing my quality of life...

    I had it for a couple of years. It was horrible! I did not see a PT or a podiatrist though. I tried several different shoes, then I went to roadrunnersports.com and found the "perfect" shoe for my build and arch type. No more problems going on 3 ...
  2. which shift do you prefer 3-11 or 11-7?

    I kind of liked 3-11 before I had kids. (In LTC setting). The residents tended to be more relaxed and their families visited more on that shift, which usually made my job easier. I don't know why, but it always just seemed more relaxed and laid ba...

  5. Plantar Facitis-Heel Pain, help!

    I had that about 2 or 3 years ago. The pain was unbearable. My doctor told me to do stretches, and roll tennis ball on the bottom of my foot. It worked. Also, I went on Road Runner Sports.com and found the "perfect" shoe for my build and arch typ...

  9. Home Health Nurses In Montana?

    Hi, I'm a home health nurse in Georgia. My husband has been talking about moving to Montana (for the past 10 years!) But recently, he seems more serious, which scares me. Anyway, I was hoping to get some feedback from Home Health there... and may...
  10. corrections are driving me mad

    I totally agree with Motorcycle mama. It took me at LEAST 6 months to quit getting every single paper I filled out back for corrections. Maybe you should go back to the person who wrote you up and express your concerns. Maybe you could suggest some...
  11. corrections are driving me mad

    Don't give up. And do you understand the reason you are having to make corrections? The reason I ask is that sometimes people who review our work may be just too picky and just have a difference of opinion. Remeber that you are the one who did the...

    How expensive is the program and what is there any clinical?
  13. Calling all HH Nurses, roll call

    I'm a home health RN for the past year and I love it! I have a broad range of experience in the hospital, and was afraid I couldn't handle being "on my own," but this has been the best experience by far. I'm paid by salary rather than per visit. ...
