I have noticed that a lot of my patients are on either on Tramadol or tylenol 3, not so many on Narco.

I'm a home health nurse and I have bought patients pulls ups and medicine.

I make 50 dollars per hour and I dont make 100 K, I simply just dont believe it, sorry. Ps. I work long hours!

Now tell us how much you have to work 70 hours a week? I really dont buy it, sorry.

To make this kind of money, means no life, and I mean it, I know nurses who work 3'12 in hospitals and do home health on the side, basically killing themselves for great income, is it worth it? Maybe for a little while but in the long run it really i...

I'm tired of people who think that nursing is all about great schedule and big bucks, I have been lately pulling a lot of 12s still not getting rich and busting my behind just to be told by my friends that once they finish nursing school they will ma...

You need to grow a thicker skin for real! I had patients complaining about me before, my boss complained about my paperwork, my supervisor complained about my attitude (yes I wont take bull crap from no one) I had patient exclusively requesting for...

TV ads, newspaper ads, heh:)))))))))))))) I know a nurse who drives a hammer she must be freaking rich, LOL:)))))

Exactly, you have to climb the ladder, brand new grads cant have the seniority.

\yep they think they will get high hourly pay on a morning aka day shift I have to explain to them that in general the pay is better on nights/evening, but since they have families they want the best hours, rude awaking! I try to explain to them that...

I have seen an excellent nurse being fired for one med error because the manager didnt like her. I think because she was much wiser and had higher education that the manager herself, also she was seasoned therefore made more money than brand new fres...

a lot is the politics, sometimes it is a manager that dont like you, sometimes it is a nurse that dont like and will tell on you and run to the manager over some really silly stuff, beware nursing is a sea full of sharks, honestly everybody is trying...

I have been working as a home health nurse for the almost two years now and although it is rough I'm making it. Going from having a few patients now I'm the nurse with the heaviest case load and yes I started out as a new nurse with no experience, ...

I need help in completing a project for my BSN program. I have interview two people how would they define happiness. These are the questions.. How would define happiness? How did you came up with the definition of happiness? What is the origin of you...

Wow I would never move to border town, way to dangerous:rolleyes:

I really dont understand the purpose of your post, the OP asked for advice and she has the right so. There are many experienced nurse on this website so I dont understand what is wrong with posting a clinical question on this website, I'm sure the rn...

Lately I have been curious regarding the difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis I noticed that a lot of my patients are diagnosed with OA rarely anyone is thought to have RA, I noticed that symptoms are similar for OA and RA, a lo...

and then you have the famous third form of RA, such as fibromyalgia which I always thought more of as a "muscle" disease rather than a type of RA, which can affect the chest, low back, arms, hips, tighs and neck and which may require different type o...

This is a perfect example of greedy health care industry.

oh my god you are kidding right? Dont you see that we are the harderst working, least respected health care provider, I cant not believe this...

Right easy to say, change your career, easier said than easier done, so now because she is exhausted she must be bitter?

I definitely feel you, I often feel like I'm going insane. I think nursing is very physically demanding and emotionally demanding. I'm ashamed to admit but once I lost my patience and hang up on my boss. I work hard really hard but agencies dont appr...

Nope, too much stress and lack of respect.

Patient first? Ouch you are in for a rude awakening. At the end of the day the administrators, DONs whoever all they care is about those $$$$$ Please dont be naive.
