    How much personal info do you share with parents?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    What do you mean by "I have" to share my religious beliefs? Do you mean you feel compelled? How has that worked out for you? I'm not being snarky, just genuinely curious, as I can see that being a...

    Paranoid parents

    Adele_Michal7 replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    It depends mainly on your state of mind and how you were raised. Everyone is different actually. For me the clothes I wear to bed are very personal and to have others see them would embarrass me to no...

    Paranoid parents

    Adele_Michal7 replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    I've seen parents naked before. I've always ended up leaving. If it is a true emergency that is one thing. I don't know of any other situations where it would be apropos for a parent to show nude...

    How much personal info do you share with parents?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    I have my FB name as a modified alias of my real name, due to a few parents crossing boundaries in the past. It is easier if parents can not find me on FB, rather than having the find me and friend...

    How much orientation should I expect to receive in private duty nursing?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to firefly101's topic in Private Duty

    Yeah I would be very leery of this. I've had 4 years experience in PDN and in those years I've had some emergency situations where I wouldn't have wanted to be without training. Shame on the

    Adele_Michal7 replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    That sounds like an awful situation to walk into. It makes me sad that saying something to your agency wouldn't help matters. I get why it wouldn't, though. I'm sort of surprised the family puts up...

    Report Boards

    Adele_Michal7 posted a topic in Private Duty

    Does anyone work in homes where the patient's parent, etc has a marker board where they require you to do a report on it before leaving. You know, write a line or two for each hour you are there?...

    I for sure agree with the person who said to communicate with your RN sup. In the school district I worked in (I could only hope no other districts are like this) they wanted no info coming in and...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    I agree. One home I went to, you could tell the dog hadn't been groomed in...ever? I would find dog hair in and around the trach. Also in the diaper. IN the DIAPER. (Of course, I reported it.) The dog...

    "Wasteful Nurses"

    I can't tell you how many times I've been on a case where the whole PDN staff was called wasteful. We "wasted" wipes, trachs, gauze, you name it. One of my current cases makes my agency's corporate...

    Surveillance cameras in pedi patient's home?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to lovelane78's topic in Private Duty

    I'm covering shifts on a case (2x a week) that can't keep a nurse to save their lives. They've gone through 73 nurses in a YEAR. Part of this is they have cameras. TWO in the patient's room, and...
