Saying "received patient in bed" means you were in the bed. Just delete that sentence as it is irrelevant. If you must you can say "patient lying supine in bed". By "fed patient" do you mean that you fed him, or do you mean that he fed himself....

If I weren't a nurse, I would be a teacher. Like another nurse said, used to be that kids did what their parents told them to do. My parents said "Be a nurse", so I am a nurse. However, when I see misspelled words or grammar mistakes on here, I am sc...

I hope I'm allowed to ask this question. How much do you make per hour for private duty? Do you get benefits? I'm ashamed to say that I make 22.50 an hour and I have no benefits. I could sign up for insurance but it's 300.00 a month which I can't aff...

To add a word.

No, because Medicaid won't pay you to care for a hospitalized patient.

I am in a very similar situation. I am caring for a toddler who is immune suppressed so she can't go to a sitter or daycare, so she qualifies for a nurse. I basically spend my days sitting on the floor, being a preschool teacher. I am also a PT, an O...

I tried to Google answers for my question but I can't find an answer. How often should you change the pulse ox probe location, in order to avoid skin breakdown?

Or an airbnb would be cheaper.

The Red Cross organization?

Working for a staffing agency is hard when you are experienced. I can't imagine doing it as a new grad. They will have your head.

I was in the 8th grade. The principal came in to my classroom to announce that the president had been assassinated. I had never heard that word and I had no idea what she was talking about. So I went home and asked my mom. When the Challenger explode...

Do you have any nursing school books still? If you do read up on how to assess patients. It isn't that hard. And focus on geriatrics assessment.

It's frustrating when parents don't care.

Been a working RN since 1971. Graduated with ADN, immediately started on BSN. I'm glad I did, I only wish I had gotten an MSN. I have never been a big shot, pretty much just a worker bee. I spent many years working nights, weekends, holidays. I worke...

I would advise finishing this year. You never know, you might find yourself liking nursing. Now if you still don't like it by the end of your 3rd year, then switch to something else. Your clinicals will give you the opportunity to see other professio...

You are not bad, you are tired. With a challenging patient it's only fair that all staff take turns. Ask the charge nurse if someone can take this patient for a couple nights. You're only human, some patient's can be extra challenging.

You hate your job now, how about doing it with morning sickness? I would advise to not get pregnant until you have a better job.

Family should have been notified.

My experience was like yours, Kooky I graduated in 1971

I hear that. My mom was on hospice and I made some rude remarks to the staff, because I was UPSET. I later apologized. Yes Kooky, sometimes things just hurt.

Munchausen by proxy?

"With whom"

You can also use pierced earrings in place of a screw.

Is this for real?

Not to mention that it is patient abuse to use their belongings for personal reasons. The residents rooms are their home away from home; and would it be appropriate to enter someone's home to play their TV?
