    Don't leave! Stay! Caliotter didn't mean to come across that way. I've read many of her posts. Who is sleeping on their couch and why, out of curiosity? Sent from my iPhone using

    I'm with you. I think our agency has a dollar limit policy per year on giving AND receiving. Whatever. I've definitely gone over it. When I'm at the dollar store and I see something my client would...

    Vent: Difficult Case

    Adele_Michal7 posted a topic in Private Duty

    Basically would like to vent, but would like input, as well. My current case (31 hours a week) is interesting. My patient lives with her three siblings, her mother, and on Monday-Thursday, her...

    Vent: Difficult Case

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Private Duty

    You're right. I got caught buying children's Tylenol and got reamed out by the director of the agency. If something goes wrong with anything you use on a patient, that YOU bought (aka patient gets...

    I thought about that. I'm afraid the call would get traced back to me. Apparently, CPS has been to this house

    Anyone have some cheese?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

    Ugh, I feel your pain. That is the toughest pill, for me, to swallow concerning PDN. My agency gives no raises, gives no sick hours, gives NO PTO whatsoever, we don't get a chintzy canvas tote bag...

    What do you do when you have cancelled shifts?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to tots24's topic in Private Duty

    What I do is I have an emergency fund savings account. I save $120 from each check, every week. If something happens, I can live while I scramble for something else. Sent from my iPhone using...

    How do you do nights?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to PerfectlyPlump's topic in Private Duty

    I work one NOC shift per week. I find it terribly challenging. I do think some people adjust to it better than others. At the moment, I have limited options with which to work with, and I need the 7...
