How are AAA's typically repaired in pts? Is there a difference between younger pts and older? What is the typical post op recovery like?

I work in home health. THe other day a fellow nurse told me that any verbal order that an LPN takes has to be co-signed by an RN. I told her I didn't think so. I worked in a hospital for 5 years and the verbal orders taken by ANY nurse, LPN or RN, ha...

How do you unclog a g-tube? I haven't had a pt with a clogged g-tube in a long time and can't remember what we did to unclog them. It seems like Coke was involved...

Has anyone used this documentation software in home health visits? What are your thoughts?

maybe it's early and i'm tired, but what are h's and t's?

I worked as a pharmacy tech during nursing school. Right after that I was an AFL cheerleader until I realized I had to get a job that paid a hell of a lot more!

I have been struggling with this for a while now. Everyone tells me I need to bridge, but I am perfectly happy to be an LPN. I work in home health and I love it. I make a good salary, have good benefits, and love what I do. I have been a nurse for 5 ...

We use Horizon at our agency and for the most part it is user friendly. I like how you can send f/u notes to other clinicians (and tell if they've read them!), the non-clinical note section is helpful to for info that doesnt need to be in the formal ...

38 y o male walked into the ER c/o chest pain. Gray from nipple line up. We took him into the trauma room and one nurse was putting leads on as I was starting a twin cath. As i started the line he sat up and grabbed his chest, screamed, and fell back...

Are you suggesting that I should have googled my question rather than ask it here? 1. The internet is not the most reliable source of info. 2. I did Google it; found out there were two different surgical approaches and then came here to ask which one...

HA HA! No...as you can see from my previous post (should you have read them before choosing to jump to the conclusion that I was doing homework) I am a nurse in home health. I am currently seeing a pt that was recently admitted to the hospital for a ...

I am very aggravated at a clinical manager at my job. I work PRN for HH on the weekends. I saw a pt two days in a row for Lovenox teaching and assessment. When I first saw the pt, he had been admitted to HH the day before and the family had been taug...

I am finishing up a 6 week orientation for my new job at a home health agency. I work in the office doing clinical support stuff most of the time. However, I will be picking up visits on the weekends and evenings. I have learned the computer charting...

I don't get it still. Our college paid for our pinning ceremony. Decorations, food and all. I think its kinda inappropriate to ask you employee to donate for a party. And I wouldn't use the 'i did this for them and they did nothing for me' approach. ...

That is poor management skills. There is no need for her to do that other than she wants to make you anxious. It's manipulative and wrong.

What were the other 2 jobs?

Just playing devils' advocate, but if you give her a schedule of your availability and then when she calls you to work within that availability and you are booked elsewhere, I can see how she could be frustrated. Maybe more communication with her is ...

What is your point exactly? They play a valuable role to the residents who, without them, would have NOTHING to do all day.

I just took a position with a large HH agency and I am super excited. However, I'm not really sure what I am going to be doing. My position is called Clinical Team Support Nurse. The job description states that I will triage phone calls from clinicia...

It has been my experience that companies that do not offer any types of benefits are generally not companies you want to work for. If they won't invest in their employees, what else do they not invest in.

I interviewed for a HH postion 2 weeks ago. I was told one week ago by HR that the VP just had to sign off on 'this' and HR would be in touch later that day. No response. I emailed HR that Monday and they said VP was on vacation the week before and ...
