  1. Recieving a patient from ER

    357maggie replied to jkr2020788's topic in Emergency

    That actually IS the case where I work. The EC has a totally different assessment form, hand off form, computer status board, and many other differences from the floors. I didn't know this until I was...

  2. Caseload of 70 active patients

    357maggie replied to AKRAZYRN's topic in Home Health

    This is exactly the position I found myself in. I started having panic attacks, worrying about my patients, when they were promised so much more by the agency than I was able to provide. Even tho the...

  3. So the family asks me "Is Mom dying?"

    357maggie posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Well, we all are, aren't we? Somebody, anybody, chat with me. I am new to hospice. Been here since Thanksgiving, and am going thru the "I don't know what the hell am I doing" stage. I had a good...

  6. How can they say I am not a viable candidate?

    357maggie replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I know how stressful and frustrating it can be to not hear back. I recently left a major hospital because I could not get HR to help me transfer to another, less physical unit after I underwent...

  7. HELP!! Why is this being done with my 2 week resignation ticking down?

    357maggie replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    So have they found anyone to replace you with yet, to get the new patients? To get your existing patients? They have you on-call your last week there? I'm glad for you that you are leaving! :yeah:I...

  8. So the family asks me "Is Mom dying?"

    357maggie replied to 357maggie's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Do you mean an interdisciplinary team? Yes, sort of. We are in a lot of flux: borrowing a manager till a new one is hired, no chaplain of our own, two SW(which one do I call for which patient), 2...

  9. Was I right to decline this? Admission with no consents.

    357maggie replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Wow. I dont know. If consents werent signed, has she been admitted? That is a really gray limbo area. Had she been in the hospital at the time of her "admit" to
