I am hanging onto your perspective, because I really want HHC to work for me. I just can't take it in the hospital anymore. And I also need to remember that most people- other fields as well- don't love their jobs. I hear friend's stories... an acco...

Thanks everyone! I am starting my search for per diem work! I am excited to check it all out!

Would you consider HHC to be a stable position? As the main insurance provider for our family, I am nervous about making a switch.... Of course change itself can make you nervous, but somewhere I got it in my head that a hospital or LTC would be cons...

Thanks AnnemRN, I am going to look into that. How do I go about finding out how busy they are? Talked to a good friend of mine in case management and she said that our hospital is always going back and forth on closing their HH dept. So maybe going ...

That was a beautiful description....

Thank you for your feedback. I am thinking then that working per diem for any old agency- in addition to my hospital position- may be a good start. This way I can decide if I like it enough to transfer within my hospital. I hope I find this as my ni...

I am so sorry. What a hard thing to deal with... :redbeathe

Nice job!!!!!!!!! This is fantastic !!! :) :) :) :) :)

Gorgeous!!!! :)

fantastic summary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea. Maybe it's a "statement"??

I'm sorry- I wasn't that clear. LPN's are being stripped of the medication/treatment aspects of their job duties.. and their NEW job duties are those traditionally completed by aides. Even though their duties have changed, they are still being payed...

Oh yeah- they are doing that, too. To all levels of nursing staff.

There is a lot of great information in this thread. The newest trend in my area is to pull LPN's from all medication and treatments. They are not necessarily being layed off- their job duties are becoming strictly nursing assistant responsibilitie...

Hello nurses! :) I am finishing up my last semester for my RN. I will have the Associate Degree in Applied Science. I am trying to find my path in the huge profession, and after some time on a Cardiac stepdown unit, I can tell- via the other wonde...

ScottE: "Not that I'll necessarily need to spend an exorbitant amount of time studying." I'm sorry- but this just made me LOL for real!!!!!! TriC's RN program is gonna kick your butt-regardless of your previous education. I have heard it again and ag...

Thanks dekagirlsRN, I appreciate the feed back!!! :)

Daytonite... you are amazing.

I guess I am starting to wonder why we can't tell the patient that. I thought I knew- that it was rude- that it equated to saying "I don't have time for you"- "you aren't important" etc. However, in my garbled mind, I am starting to wonder who, exac...

I have had some dreams of work, too.... along the lines of these already mentioned. But0 what gets me is the Call bells in my head!! I get home and can literally still hear the call bells ringing. Sometimes it is the quickly- paced sound from the ba...

This thread makes me want to cry. Everyone's responses have been soo realistic. As a CNA, and last semester RN student, I can feel it already... what have I done! And all the effort it took.... my family counting on me... Yes there are good moments.....

Good luck to you!!! :)
