    Background checks for parents

    Adele_Michal7 replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    Exactly.... Like, ever hear of the website RateMyProfessor? It would never fly because of HIPPA, but what about US?! Lol:/ And there is a website where parents can post info and reviews on PDN's....

    Adele_Michal7 replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    Soooo frustrating, all I can say is that I totally feel your pain. I agree! Sometimes it truly seems like a fools errand to please parents; no matter WHAT you do you can't win! And on the days you...

    too hot in the home

    Adele_Michal7 replied to tjmschet's topic in Private Duty

    Vent mommy just want to say I love all your posts. I agree, enough of this "we're a guest in the home." Guests don't get paid and guests don't keep your precious fragile babies alive. Don't get me...

    Do you have to do constant interaction with your DD patient?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Private Duty

    Clinical uniforms?

    Adele_Michal7 replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    When I was in LVN school 5.5 years ago it was light blue tops/bottoms (scrubs) and a warm up jacket was provided. And man were they awful. Material wise quality was poor and I am tall, so they were...

    Home health pediatric...demanding parent tips??

    Adele_Michal7 replied to CrazyCatNurse's topic in Private Duty

    And yes, it got to the point where I had to tell the agency director. Did I do the right thing? It's one thing for a mom to be like, "Hey. I need to go run to pick up Susie's prescription-" and it's...

    Adele_Michal7 replied to LPN2BSN15's topic in California Nursing

    What is bringing you out to CA? What part of NorCal? I would caution you against moving if you don't have to. There are scarce jobs out
