so sorry for your loss I work night shift 12+hrs & many mornings I wash my face with ice cold water before I start the drive home

I'm so sorry for your loss I pray for you & your family

Just had inservice on this. No you cant mix 70/30 & regular we had quite the discussion on this we had it settled by calling the phamacist

congrats on the pregnacy, & sorry you had to quit, but there are other areas not involving floor nursing that you could look in too. I quit nursing for about a year then went back did a week of orientation in LTC changed my mind from being full time to PRN, too much nit picking about every little thing & back stabbing, the staff was getting written up & suspended over paperwork working 12 hr shift is hard enough now I work every other wkend (work 24hrs get paid 40hrs) & I still need to destress my hubby also has a good paying job

Working in LTC/rehab this happens alot depending on the pt. my way of handling it (1) say excuse me one minute let me get your waitress I walk out the room put a towel over my left arm walk back in & with a straight face say "the nurse said you needed a waitress or (2) say let me see your hands now using your left hand hold the cup using your right hand pick up the water pitcher & pour into the cup thats good now you're a waitress too & all the time assessing to see if they need the nurse side of me (3) if they are really confused I orient them to where they are & say only nurses here dear now how may I help you.
