Hi guys.. Anyone know of any great BART classes to take in southern California or ONLINE? I float to telemetry all the time and I feel I need more a in depth course of arrythmias.. PLEASE HELP!! thanks!

OK here is the dilemma, I have 2 jobs, 1 i have been for over 12 years and have moved up, the second is 6 months new. The NEW JOB: is a county, unionized job, better pay, better benfits, close to home, more room to move, but your are on a rotation ev...

Leech therapy! I always get those suckers to latch on!

What is this nurse did it on her lunch break??? I don't see anything wrong with it, it's like reading a book on your lunch or break.

In the inland empire in Southern California the lowest I've seen is 25 per hour for new grads

I hear chino valley pays about 27 an jour for a 3 year RN and they go on a scale that is non negotiable, while arrowhead pays about 32 for the same experience.... Just my 2 cents...

I think I still like nursing. One of my favorite things to do is feeding the patient, I like opening their food setting up their tray and if they need to be spoonfed I like to do that too. It's one of my favorite things of nursing. I also enjoy hangi...

If nurses didn't cut corners then everything we did would never be on time and there would always be overtime...., I think cutting corners on small things is ok, it's the big things we need to worry about not cutting corners.

Find another job, if something goes Down you will be held responsible.

I can equate hh charting like doing a complete initial assessment each time, plus adding in all the teaching u have to chart. It is computerized by it still can be time consuming. I take about 30 min per patient to chart.

We have a great morale were we work, mostly because our managers have a great sense of humor!!!

I don't dilute if there is a running iv

Just got accepted into a FNP program. So excited! Any tips for me from anyone on what to except, how to handle school and work, stuff to look out for? Plain old suggestions? Starting in February 2013. Thanks for any input'many input

I think that u can make more per patient or hourly, but if u want to be safe I would take salary.

I think what you did was right, only thing I would do is tell the patients the doctors plan and see if he agreed with you about the pain and how the pain meds were much more then he needed for the pain level, then if the patient agreed I would chart ...

Well I think it was a very flexible job. Gave me a lot if room to run errands in between patients. Big problem I found for me is that now your on their turf. Not like in the hospital, it's not like they are at your mercy. If they don't want to see yo...

If its per diem hh you probably won't make enough money. Just because it seems like most agency's pay per visit and most of the time you will only see about half the patients you are assigned. That has been my experience.

Hey guys, just wondering your opinions. I work Per Diem Home Health, today my boss informaed me I was fired because I made a short visit less than 20 minutes and the patient complained. So it was a follow up visit and we went over everthing I had to ...

You are right sometimes my agency gives me a h&p and sometimes they don't. I try and get all of their medical history using their meds and interviewing them.

Don't leave ICU just yet. Get a perdiem hh job and see if you like it first. That way you can make an informed decision.

I guess you are right. I was usually late with my documentation, but why didn't she just say that? I mean I would have understood that more.

So 8 months into working HH per diem, and I have noticed that some days I can't get ahold of the patients. They either don't answer the phone, asked to be rescheduled, or something. So I end up having 5 .people to see in the morning, to actually ma...

I think that you were right to say what you said. In the other hand, bring new yo nursing and all, and wanting to keep your job. I would just apologize, keep your head down, and be a good worker until you find something better. Sounds like your offi...

Wow that sounds Luke a great idea. The only problem for me would br that since I work st the hospital some says too, it would be difficult to call in advance. The prep. Work would probably help getting my visits in though.the other problem is that th...

So this is what you called the bad part of HH I bet....
