    How do YOU feel about nurses striking?

    TazziRN replied to LydiaGreen's topic in General Nursing

    I believe we should have the right, but it needs to be for a just reason. If you're already making more per hour than a nurse at any other facility in your area, but your admin refuses to give you...

    Case Managers???

    TazziRN replied to cynthiamc's topic in Home Health

    OP, if there is a VNA chapter in your area, check them out. Their case managers do spend time in the field but they also have field nurses who have daily assignments and report to a case manager. This...

    Is the family the real supervisors in Home Health?

    TazziRN replied to Bala Shark's topic in Home Health

    I guess we do things differently. We have team conferences every week about new pts and recert pts. We also have a Mortality and Morbidity conference with our medical director, where we bring up...

    understandable english

    TazziRN replied to susyn153's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm having a problem with this because of the area where I'm from.......I'm so tired of having pts who were born and raised here and don't speak English, and their parents have been here long...

    understandable english

    TazziRN replied to susyn153's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I went back to read the OP, and you're right, it doesn't specify the who. I, along with the others, took it to mean Florida natives, rather than nurses from outside of Florida or even the US....

    Is the family the real supervisors in Home Health?

    TazziRN replied to Bala Shark's topic in Home Health

    No more than families of pts in hospitals or LTCs. I do have one pt whose wife watches very closely, but she would watch that closely even if her husband was an inpt somewhere. My supervisors are in...

    TazziRN replied to travlr99's topic in Home Health

    Our areas Lifeline is a good program. There is a set-up fee and it's something like $20 a month. The dispatch center calls each subscriber once every day on the system, and the subscriber has to push...

    How do you decide

    TazziRN replied to fastwalk's topic in Operating Room

    Some of us know just what kind of nursing we want to do and we work toward that goal. Some of us (like me) just have an opportunity fall into the lap and it turns out to be perfect. Others try...

    NA VS Nursing

    TazziRN replied to Nurseygurl10's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't like the job itself, then try somewhere else.....either another department or another facility. That's the wonderful thing about nursing, from CNA on up......if you don't like what you're...

    understandable english

    TazziRN replied to susyn153's topic in General Nursing

    Miranda, what you're saying makes sense, but then this goes back to immigrants who don't speak English. If they, when they come here, should learn English rather than Americans learning Spanish to...

    Are LPN's really nurses in the eyes of RN's

    TazziRN replied to LUVyourCNA's topic in General Nursing

    I do not "consider" LPN/LVNs nurses.......they are nurses!!!! In the hospital setting I did not work with them because they were not hired for ER, but in home health they are just as busy as the RNs....

    TazziRN replied to missyl670's topic in General Nursing

    My parents kept the Monster whenever I worked weekends, since Hubs and the older kids work weekends too. If my mom was sick or something, MIL would do it. If she was working, then our daycare provider...

    ADVICE--From ALL HHNurses

    TazziRN replied to deniseS's topic in Home Health

    I just started HH in June after 19 years in the ER, and I love it. I case manage, so there's a lot more paperwork involved for me, but I can usually get out in 8 hours. Sometimes I work over, but...

    Hospital reputation in North Calif

    TazziRN replied to arys1075's topic in California Nursing

    All the larger hospitals will have good benefits and comparable wages. Personally, I would not work for Kaiser. While the inpt facilities are good in terms of pt care, I have such low regard for the...

    TazziRN replied to mitchellrn's topic in California Nursing
