Back in mid-December to mid-January I had what I thought was a strange cold. I had a cough that was productive with an expectorant but only minimal nasal drainage or congestion. It would get better...
I'm not worried about ever reapplying there and I'm frankly not worried about what she might say about me. My work history prior to her is rock solid. The bottom line is that I feel my license is in...
Hi, I am giving my resignation to my current employer this evening which is to be effective immediately. I cannot give them 2 weeks notice due to concerns about protecting my license. I work in...
Yep. You're right. I mean, yes, the doc's name always goes on the order form in the morning, but that's NOT the way it's to be done. Just to clarify, in case it hasn't been to this point, I...
Elkpark: Your first paragraph above is exactly right. When patients come overnight, the admission orders (PRNs, vitals, labs, home meds, etc.) aren't gotten until morning. That itself isn't...

Yep. That's pretty much where I'm at. Except you have a few more months of experience on me. You should be able to claim a year's experience in peds and qualify for about any peds job soon
Yeah, we're definitely going back to WI anyway when we get our tax return. (Unless somewhere around here hires me in the next 3 months or so.) We lived in Green Bay for 8 years and we've been away...
Yeah, my supervisor told me the same things. When the mom removed me from her case, my supervisor said I did nothing wrong and said, "Welcome to home health care." I explained to the mom that it is...
