    Who can cath???

    caliotter3 replied to SandIsMyGlitterRN's topic in School

    The reason my agency had that contract was because the school district had one of those situations where one RN had to cover X number of schools on any one day. Crazy I thought. Thoroughly enjoyed...

    Nurses don't check orders??

    caliotter3 replied to Christina.f0602's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly. I have been known to go back and check more than once on the same shift. I notice when I don't check such stuff, even on a one patient only home health gig, lots of things slip...

    Who can cath???

    caliotter3 replied to SandIsMyGlitterRN's topic in School

    In all fairness, my response is in reference to my perspective as a home health nurse. I went to school with one child as their home health nurse. In specifics, I was there for only one child and...

    Nurses don't check orders??

    caliotter3 replied to Christina.f0602's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a problem, or potential problem, golly, could lead to some serious stuff for somebody some day. Our house supervisor went over the orders every night with a fine tooth comb and...

    WOW!. Now there’s a good one. My employer would probably say to contact the parent to come to the school to do it. Might as well keep the kid home for the day with

    Parent Pick-Up of Sick Kiddo

    caliotter3 replied to SchoolNurseK's topic in School

    I get thank you’s from my present extended care home health parents. I was thoroughly surprised one day when I realized this and thought about how good it makes me feel to hear those two little...

    New NP grad at 50 years old. Is the age an obstacle to be hired?

    caliotter3 replied to NN2BVE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you really want to slow down, consider extended care home health. I always recommend this area, particularly for those who are nearing the end of their career. Not the intermittent visit type of...

    New NP grad at 50 years old. Is the age an obstacle to be hired?

    caliotter3 replied to NN2BVE's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    To be quite frank, the allure of NP just isn't there for me after my experiences in nursing. Had I known what the pursuit of nursing would be as a second career, I never would have blown my secure...

    Parent Pick-Up of Sick Kiddo

    I worked with nurses who had to have two full time jobs to pay their mortgages and support their families because their husbands wouldn’t even work one job. These ladies came from a different...

    I just got hired in a plastic surgery clinic. Are these red flags?

    caliotter3 replied to Puppylover0213's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah you know I was promised a substantial pay raise when hired. We’re talking two years approaching. Even with strong inquiries, do you think I have seen that raise? Looking for the weather report...

    caliotter3 replied to cjp1994's topic in General Students

    A new and improved study plan wouldn’t hurt anyway. I found it almost impossible to shake my bad habit of procrastinating. I sometimes wonder what my transcripts would have looked like had I studied...

    Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    All I can say is if entities like school districts are saying they have a plan, then they owe it to their employees to disseminate said plan. All they have to do is to prepare a written handout to...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    caliotter3 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    All I have to say is “watch out, Davey, watch out”. I’ve been disposed of for a lot less. You know you are stirring a pot that could spill over on you and scald your job to a painful
