    Nurses who have a dog?

    caliotter3 replied to rnstu20's topic in General Nursing

    I have left my dog alone before but this dog is not a barker or whiner. If you live in an apt bldg and your dog makes noise when you are gone, that would probably be problematic depending on your...

    School Pretty Much Canceled Clinical

    caliotter3 replied to Futurenurse7321's topic in General Students

    You are making a disparaging remark where all the poster did was to state a fact. Nowhere did I see in that post that she favored utilizing med student labor over nursing student

    New Job, asking for a higher pay

    caliotter3 replied to SC3104's topic in General Nursing

    I would ask for more for myself were I to look for a new job now. But in my case, I would only be trying to get equity with coworkers who are being paid more than I am even though I have better...

    Did you file a police report for the assaults? Have you consulted an attorney? You need to fight back. This termination, wrongful or otherwise, could put a definite kink in your

    Home Health

    caliotter3 replied to webblarsk's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My agency extended care clients won’t even allow the clinical supervisor into the home to do supervisory visits. So many have taken that stance that the managers discussed it and came to the...

    Any RN student clinicals cancelled because of COVID-19?

    caliotter3 replied to llg's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So you're not good enough to take care of their sick patients as a student, but they'll hire you to do their sick patient scut work! Something wrong with that

    Going back to work during covid19?

    caliotter3 replied to Veronica Sell's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I imagine, as usual, a home health agency would love to scarf you up for extended care case work. You would only be exposed to one patient, if full time on one case. Now, intermittent visit work...

    School Pretty Much Canceled Clinical

    caliotter3 replied to Futurenurse7321's topic in General Students

    Be thankful your school is accommodating you to the extent that it is, so that you can graduate on time. I attended my clinicals and found them to be close to worthless. I learned more by rarely...

    Homecare nursing job at risk?

    caliotter3 replied to Trisha.S.RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would think that between the two patients, your decision will probably be made for you when one becomes sick first, or you become sick. Otherwise, you must be leaning with either the case that you...

    Sounds like you put some serious thought into this. Unfortunate that this is occurring during the time when you are attempting to acclimate to all the infectious exposure. I know what you are...

    Might be seeing an example of why said Mickey flunked out of nursing school, and apparently out of her tech job too. Wonder where she is delighting others at

    Suction

    caliotter3 replied to Kathylee460's topic in General Nursing

    You need to speak to his PCP regarding this. S/he could prescribe the soft trach suctioning catheters or ‘red robins’ to be provided by the supply company. Or perhaps decongestants or some other...

    Was my unsatisfactory in clinical unfair?

    caliotter3 replied to Ashestoashes's topic in General Students

    One of our clinical instructors took great pride in her role in eliminating students in their final semester. She finished a very long career doing this to people. I met more than two nurses in the...

    Classmates who cheat

    caliotter3 replied to Maroon horse's topic in General Students

    These are the same people that you run across on the job who falsify their time card, or documentation, or engage in some other form of lack of integrity daily. You are forced to keep your mouth shut...

    Try extended care home health to get back to working as a nurse while you bolster your confidence. Interview should not be too stressful as home health agencies are usually eager to hire to meet their...

    Most people who would have need of an advocate probably can’t even afford their medical care and aren’t sophisticated enough to think of obtaining their private advocate. There are concierge...
