  3. She won't give me a chance!

    clearblue3 replied to Elle23's topic in Private Duty

    Don't be too hard on yourself :-) It sounds like you are doing great and just the fact that you are worried about how things are going is a sign that you really care. 10 months is right at that age...

  4. She won't give me a chance!

    clearblue3 replied to Elle23's topic in Private Duty

    You could say something lighthearted as suggested, but I am sure they think you are doing an excellent job. That is just how some parents (me included) are. Now keep in mind I have never worked...

  8. new grad, PDN, and experience for the hospital

    clearblue3 replied to clearblue3's topic in Private Duty

    thanks for your thoughts! :-) around here (WI) PDN pays the most by far (unless you work for an agency), followed by the hospital, and then LTC about the same as the hospital or a little less than...

    clearblue3 replied to clearblue3's topic in Private Duty

    clearblue3 replied to bub&sis's topic in Private Duty

  17. iMac or MacBook!

    clearblue3 replied to nurseprince2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    clearblue3 replied to Mrs. Silva's topic in First Year After Licensure
