I once had a lady ask where I got a bum like mine from or did I have to order it in special?( I'm a large person and this lady has dementia)

nomi, Don't forget with some uni you can do a bridging course so you can go in second year instead of first. The bridging course for Wollongong is only ten weeks. Aussie

We have them in the nursing home I work at, though it's up to the family to pay for the massage therapist. Some residents have benefited from this, it realy depends on the resident, for some its reduced their pain levels. Aussie

Suzanne, Granted but it's hard to get the image out of my mind. http://www.gotlaughs.com/funpages/view.cfm/2447 Aussie.

Good one Fran, only problem is I got a mental image of what it looks like after gravity hits :wink2:

Buggar, I must have been working that night!!!!

An add on to joannep, I have a feeling they also need to be leather as well. Oh, and please make sure their comfortable. Personally I've found one brand that I really like. I don't have to wear them in and their light weight, their made of Kangaroo leather which is lighter than cow leather. One golden rule to remember when buying shoes: Comfort before Fashion

I work in a 25 bed Nursing Home. On night shift we have 1 RN and 1 nursing assistant

Sum, inrelation to pay rates please see the sticky gwenith startedin the begining of this section, it has some very useful links.You may also find other information there that you need.

I work in a 25 bed facility and there is a RN and a AIN (nursing assistant) there a all times minimum. I fully support you in any decision you make.

My parent and I have talked about this and none of us want to left hooked up to any machine. I only hope I'm strong enough should there every be a time like that to turn everything off. I also agree with Lecia "I don't believe her condition is living it's merely existing... "

Tears here too. Whos got a tissue?

I have to agree with Nurse Ratched. Love yourself and don't focus on losing wieght, rather focus on a healthier you. I wish you all the best :kiss

You forgot to mention the midriff shirts and midriff bulge combined with hipster pants combined with....... Won't go on. Too scary:eek::chair:

I don't think any one shift is busier than another. Each shift is buy in its own way, though having work all shifts I have to say that the time between about 7am and 7pm can be the busiest. I say this because this is the time frame when most docters and family members visit or call/called, the time most of the drugs are handed out, all showers are done. Though night shift can be busy because in the facility I work in thats when most of the orders are done and paper work which wasn't able to be done earlier is done. Though having said all that when you add in the buzzer facter all shifts have the potential to be the busiet. but thats just my opinion!
