  1. What exactly is telephone triage?

  2. HOW Do I DO IT!!

    Obviously I can only speak from my own experience.:argue: For me it would have been easier to work in some other field then healthcare. You might consider a weekender situation where you can work most of your hours on the weekend and concentrate o...
  3. HOW Do I DO IT!!

    I'm not so sure a job in health care is the best idea. I worked as a CNA and burned out before graduation:(. I think I would have been better checking groceries, waiting tables or working at a health club. There are lots of options. Try to find s...

    Very good point katfishLPN. As with most things in nursing, it all depends on what your state's nurse practice act dictates.

  11. What exactly is telephone triage?

    For the most part I like intellicare. Some pepole really suffer with the isolation aspect of working alone, which I don't find to be too much a problem. Because we don't really know what is going on with co-workers I sometimes feel picked on, and l...
  12. Would you put your family member in a LTC facility?

    My mother went to LTC after a CVA, she was alert, aware and lucid, with L side paralysis. The original plan was for her to do PT and come home to live with me. PT was very difficult for Mom and she didn't do well, so remained in the NH until she di...

    Working from home is a great perk, but it is still work and you have to be able to seperate work from home life. You can not be cooking dinner, helping with home work etc while on the clock. Your work space has to be a seperate area where you can c...
