I'm interested to know how long you were off work. My mom was back to work in two weeks, but she works in an office. Is it longer for nurses due to nature of work? Thanks in advance!

Can anyone give me accurate info about working here? All I seem to hear are negatives from people who never worked there. I've heard that the ratio at nights is 1:12 at best and my liscence is in jeapordy if I go to work there. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Yep, mucomyst is the worst, but I also agree that Fortaz just plain stinks-like cat pee.

I recall someone telling me that the facility she worked at had a no rinse product that was applied to washcloths, heated in a bag in the microwave, and used to bathe pt without need for rinse. Anyone had experience with this? Is it effective for cleansing, odor removal, non-irritating to pt skin? Feedback appreciated.

I'm not sure if this problem is unique to my floor or not, but the second certain aides discover a pt has become incontinent they demand that nurses insert a foley and become hostile if you do not get an order to do so. I seem to recall that incontinence is not a reason to catheterize a pt. Anyone else heard this or have an opinion???
