  1. Unfortunately, I have worked for several private duty companies and the schedulers lie, bait and switch, and play such nasty games. Are they actually trained to do this?
  2. Help, did I get hired onto a sinking ship?

    Ships do sink at times. The ship may be sinking but you have options. It never hurts to explore your options. I always keep a contingent extra money job in my back pocket. Unfortunately, I have been a nurse for many years and have seen many a s...

    Is barrier cream or ointment used? Examples: Calmoseptine, A & D, Zinc Oxide, Desitin
  4. Fought the good fight...

    If I could be in a position to go back to school, I would get a degree in anything except nursing. I would go into anything else, there are so many other better fields and working conditions such as pharmacy, dietician, social work, even accounting ...
  5. Nursing Error

    How about the choice of nursing as a career? Could that be considered to be an error?
  6. have you been hired on the spot?

    have been hired on the spot several times - each and every one was a truly unforunate experience

    I do not consider leaving my "mark on the world". I leave that business to my dog. Have you tried to find a mentor? It gets better, but not right away.
  8. should nurse managers wear scrubs?

    Nurse managers should just simply roll up their sleeves and get to work - no matter what they are wearing.
  9. Advice about job offer, please!

    Did you give them your resume? Did you fill out an application? How much information do they have about you? If it is that frightening, notify the local police or the state attorney general office, FBI and /or dept. of community health.
  11. When the regular staff goof off.....

    I'm sure it has happened to some of the agency nurses here. What do you do if the regular staff goofs off (socializing, flirting, sexual acting out, facebook, leaving for extended breaks, etc.) and leaves the agency person to do all of the work? Now ...
  12. Intraosseous Infusions- anyone using it yet?

    IO has been around for kids and adults at least 25-30 yr. It comes and goes in popularity.
  13. Sitting down to calm an upset patient is unprofessional?

    Time to start looking for a respectable supervisor. There is one out there just waiting for you. Go forth and find a supervisor you deserve.
  14. Nurse Manager, New Employee vs Old Employee

    I would suggest keeping your name and location confidential. Employee information is sensitive and confidential. If your employees read this, they will know that you are not keeping their issues confidential. This also brings to task the quality of...

    amitiza 60 pills = $244 to 333
  22. try corrections again?

    Corrections is a good career choice for future retirement and benefits. It is worth another try. If not at that facility, try another. Keep trying, you never know .
  23. There are many types of home care: Medicare skilled care, Private insurance, private pay, private duty, auto, workman's comp, medicaid, mental health, etc. I believe the type of home care you are referring to would be completely different than the ...
