    Night nurse sound asleep!

    Adele_Michal7 replied to maryen's topic in Private Duty

    To the OP: where is the nurse sleeping? On a couch? In a bed? Where are the parents? Do you think they know? Would you feel comfortable informing them? Sent from my iPhone using

    Random Question

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Random Question

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for the replies. She actually wasn't worried about those because she's renewed her license three times since then with no problem. It's the doctor's visit she's concerned about. I've urged her...

    Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    Adele_Michal7 replied to NenaRK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Adele_Michal7 replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    How to gain a child's trust?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to PerfectlyPlump's topic in Private Duty

    This is a situation where I'd advocate NOT wearing scrubs, but like you, I wear them unless the family forbids me. Even if I'm given the option, I'll choose to wear scrubs. In a profession where the...

    no dose to give written on MAR anymore?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    Sounds like an awful practice. I don't understand the "why" behind it. Another thing you could do is make a chart (a dollar store marker board would work well for this) with the meds and their...
