    Minimum Wage + LVN Wage

    Adele_Michal7 replied to g2255lw's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I definitely think this is an interesting point you raise. (I live in San Francisco.) My SO is a supervisor at a hotel and started out at 18, and after 6 months makes $22, which is more than I make...

    How to get a first Nursing job

    Adele_Michal7 replied to beenel's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It sounds crazy, but have someone else look at your resume. I had been applying to this one place, with no response from them whatsoever. Not too long ago, my boyfriend redid my resume with an...

    That's why I had to get out after 3 years- I don't have the personality for it. I gained a lot of weight, to

    Craziest PDN/PDN Venting Thread

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Private Duty

    Ohhhhh honey, I'm sorry you're going through a case like this. Talk about micromanaging! Yikes. I absolutely believe that if this patient is indeed having legitimate seizure activity, it could be...

    My choice or required

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Rdforever's topic in Private Duty

    These type of cases are always very trying- it's part of the reason I had to leave home care. I encountered so many of these types of parents. I'm sorry, but it seemed that parents either wanted the...

    Car sickness

    Adele_Michal7 replied to hellokitty73's topic in Private Duty

    All I can do is say I feel your pain. I get extremely car sick even during short rides. And if I don't get sick I definitely WILL if I have to turn my head to suction or something. I really can't be a...

    I am a nurse, darn it!

    Adele_Michal7 replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    You are literally my hero! Hysterical response. I can just picture you doing that. My pet peeve is having to do long car rides with kiddos that need frequent nursing interventions like suctioning. I...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    The OP was smart to be cautious. Swimming may seem like a normal thing but it does depend on the client, and like many of you brought up, the POC. Also, parents will push it from there sometimes. Had...

    A Nurse and A Go-Go Dancer

    Adele_Michal7 replied to charmgracel's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I would maybe pass on doing this, or wait until your older. Some things I thought were an AWESOME idea at age 22, seemed like a not so wonderful idea 5 years later. (I'm

    Craziest PDN/PDN Venting Thread

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Private Duty

    That has to be hands down one of the most crazy things I've ever heard of a parent saying! Was it provocated by an incident or was it a blanket statement made at orientation?! Either way...WOW. In 3...

    How much personal info do you share with parents?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    Is Netflix your BFF? What do you watch?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    Yes, nearly every family that I've worked for that claimed they were ok with diversionary activities ended up proving that, they were in fact, most definitely NOT ok with it. In 3 words I can sum up...

    That's extremely courteous of you but I definitely don't do that. I microwave frozen dinners and such, I can only imagine if the patient's parent saw me putting trash into my bag (especially out here...

    How many days off are appropriate?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to RNathome2010's topic in Private Duty

    To answer the question, I work a case that I have day hours on, 5 x a week. Since I am the only nurse on the case, (and even if I wasn't...) I simply treat it like it is like any other job with a set...
