I understand what you are saying, but in this case it was a Diep procedure that lasted 9 hours and no pain meds were ordered?? 7 seven incisions, the longest being 19 inches, and it was not questioned?? And when requested told I need to be "strong". ...

Says a non person of color. I have just experienced this as a patient in the hospital. After a Diep procedure I was not given pain meds for 7 hours. Correct seven hours. When the resident came to my bedside, he told me I would have to endure ...

use droid tv app for $8.99 every 3 months, you do not need internet. have the shows download at your house and you can watch them internet free at the PDN. I LOVE this app. I think its on google apps now too. try it.

I mention my children, but I am usually asked where I live. I do not disclosure my personal location. Also my phone number, at this point I have been there almost 2 years, so they have my cell, but only for texting, i will be there in 5 mins or ope...

Hey y'all, I haven't posted in a while, computer was down. I work nights too... okay here are my secrets, lol.... I have a tablet and have an app called DroidTV off of amazon apps store. Its 8.99 every three months, (free at first to try) and you c...

What I am finding out more and more is making sure there are clear boundaries. My patient is clearly a product of bad to zero parenting. He reminds me of that episode of Twilight Zone where the kid has the whole house of adults walking on eggs shel...

No, they fight me on every sugguestion. The next day the mother "showed" me how to use the nose bulb. The patient likes to start fights about the smallest of issues. Example I asked for them to get a pan, as patient BMs every day at 5am. I asked ...

thanks guys, I thought I was going crazy... I started really researching his dx because I truly could not understand why he didnt know how to blow his nose, or do anything simple like that... What is OT teaching him?? oh but he can get on his laptop...

After I got a ticket for parking on the street, I discussed with the father "our responsibilities" on my coming to work and the parking situation. If I will be snowed in like last year when we got 16+ inches of snow, I might come but as snow builds ...

That is crazy talk! What job would require you to be sooo on call to want you to sleep in your car, and they had adults home!! Crazy talk I tell you.

Okay, Per Diem means you are not full time or part time, no benefits. You and the staffing person, decide on a schedule that works for both of you and you work that. You are not guaranteed hours, just the hours you sign up for. So another words, ...

Okay, maybe I need more sleep, or this room is hot, but I am not seeing a problem here. I work 48 hours PDN and work at a hospital and Long Term on sats and suns.... not every weekend, but a least once a month. My point is stop listening to your "f...

I have the same problem, but instead of talking about it they put all the paper towels away before I arrive. So now I either bring a hand cloth from home or uses the patient's, he has a lot of them in his drawers due to his drooling at night. I un...

Like I said, you did not see this nurse sleeping, as for the documentation, talk to her about it. if she is new like you, she might have been taught some bad habits by the previous nurse. I always give nurses the benefit of the doubt, education and...

Good advise to the patient. Don't get involved. Also don't let the patient vent to you about the other nurse, they are trying to drag you into this issue. Why tell you about how late they are, they had to have signed on. imho....

Oh my goodness, my patients father said the same thing. I was shocked, at first I thought it was me. Did I look dishonest? Do I have jail time fraud etc stamped on my face. What good is a paycheck like that if its your last. I am so glad I am w...

yeah the seedy underbellies of roaches! both in the home and the "office". Boy, money, money, money can cloud judgement on behalf of the agency. Really when they opened the case this should have been addressed. Thank God for you, you are going in ...

I have a case sort of like that. Gtube only. Mom home all day does not work. Kid in school all day but needs 57hours of care each week night. Good for me but hmm. The school wants to discharge the day nurse because they say they don't need her. ...

Let me tell you, when I read your vivid description of the surroundings I was thinking two things, one, boy she must be great at documentation, and second, that is scarier then watching american horror story in a strange house with moaning from the g...

if you like the midwife, check out bletchley circle, its about 4 women who were code breakers.

So glad you are out of there! I don't think I could have finished the shift.

are you still there? how did you get out of there in one piece?

I have an app called driod tv, it doesnt need internet to watch tv shows, and its great. Sometimes the internet is mysteriously down??? I do have netflix as well, I started american horror, but when the grandmother starts moaning in the next room, ...

so, I am I understanding, they have added classes and changed requirements? I was using some of the people ahead of me that graduated from excelsior as my model. hmmmm, when I know to get some of the other classes under my belt first.

thank you for explaining that. I am not from Cali, but it does limit any travel jobs.
