    Asked to use machine for vital recheck?

    caliotter3 replied to HCpednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I can't think of a doctor who wouldn't then check it her/himself. For that matter, any other person. Like Grumpy said, you want to get the "feel" of

    It’s been 3 years since I graduated and don’t have bedside experience.

    caliotter3 replied to Streetnurse42's topic in General Nursing

    This. There are some people, I am certain, that devote their entire nursing career to community nursing and they come out at the other end just as retired, and just as satisfied, or dissatisfied, as...

    Is this reasonable?

    caliotter3 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I am in a side room with a wall obstructing my view from my non-Covid pt. At first I insisted staying in the same room within view but soon found I could keep tabs on the pt just fine from the side...

    Difference between case management and home health visits?

    caliotter3 replied to guest1143647's topic in Home Health

    Sounds as if somebody is pawning responsibilities off on you and perhaps taking advantage of your inexperience. But then, especially since you are an RN, it makes sense you cover individual cases from...

    Would you go to 80% of your current salary to work less hours?

    caliotter3 replied to BethrnGA2CO's topic in General Nursing

    Although theoretically, in extended care home health, one can make a unique schedule to work as long as the client agrees, my employer is not very receptive to the idea. They would rather the...

    Meet Major and Champ Biden - First Family Dogs

    caliotter3 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Just read that unfortunately the first dogs have been sent home to Connecticut because Major has been getting aggressive and bit a security guard. Not known when, or if, dogs will return to WH. Sad.

    I got a verbal warning for not greeting the new Director of Care?

    caliotter3 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with this response, which is the correct one, is that some dolt like me can't even think of it three days after the

    Job offer..salary to start then point based pay..need feedback please

    caliotter3 replied to Peachpit's topic in Home Health

    Why don't you consider extended care home health? Sure, it is not usually depicted as being very desirable, but at least when the paycheck is steady, the paycheck is steady. Otherwise, it would...

    Hoyer Lift

    caliotter3 replied to MisMatch's topic in Home Health

    Safety is the same reason two CNA's, or two anybodies, were required for using the lift at the LTC facilities where I worked. And yes, there is a possibility that the lift would not work properly,...

    How does telemedicine work? Esp as an NP

    caliotter3 replied to HopefulRN4ever's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One of my providers offers telemedicine visits however they require that every few visits be in person so they can "put the stethoscope on my chest" as they put it. I think it is a good idea....

    Pay rate different for training period?

    caliotter3 replied to Jo89's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You should have been told how long the lower rate was going to actually apply, at the time you were hired. While I would not quit at this point, I would definitely do what TMIML recommended as well...

    Reported assault on a patient to police. I was fired. Result? Nothing was done about it; it was taken care of by firing me, the witness and complainant. No good deed goes

    Did anyone feel that the RN to BSN classes were utterly pointless?

    caliotter3 replied to razzledazzle2428's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Just go with the flow. When you have the BSN diploma in hand and have updated your resume, you will have obtained any potential benefit and you can put APA formatting behind you until you start...

    Patient abandonment/Professional Boundaries??

    caliotter3 replied to RoseT21's topic in Nursing Professionalism
