  2. I am not here to argue with you. I have immunity. I will deal with your worry about the next time when I get there. Please stop with the invalid arguments and explain to me why a person with immunity should take a non approved injection for an illn...
  3. No, it is a valid question. I have immunity. To understand why I placed quotes around the word in question, I refer you to the definition of the word.
  4. I am a retired RN. I tested positive for Covid in April approximately 10 days after caring for an elderly Aunt who became ill on day two post vaccination. On day three she was admitted to the hospital with a dx of weakness, mental status change. Sh...
  5. When Willpower Isn't Enough

    There is another factor that has not been considered. Semaglutide is a tier three medication. While the price of tier three medications for the private insured patient is high, the ability to use coupons offsets the price and is a life saver for the ...
  6. Legal obligation for disaster relief

    I am retired. However, living in a coastal town, I have been subject to lock down due to impending severe weather. After the first experience away from my family for days , I decided if I must stay, it would be on my terms. The next hurricane, I brou...
  7. Unit is Total Chaos

    After 41 years in nursing, the last 15 years in Home Health, I too have retired, not because of patient care , but because of the ever increasing computer documentation. The computer charting requirements placed me in the position that I stay in my ...

  11. Cape Fear CC 2011?

    I know my daughter did clinicals in North and South Carolina, which I have to say left her better prepared to matriculate into any facility outside the New Hanover net work. Perhaps you could stay with family friends or group together and rent a ho...

  13. Cape Fear CC 2011?

    Good luck to you! I have met many BCCC ADN grads that I respect for their competency and skills. I understand they use the same facilities as CFCC.
  14. Do you get paid for staff meetings/case conference?

    As Home Health Nurses are considered"Consultants" as if we were architects or city planners, and therefore not illegible for over time or compensation for true hours worked, my question is: Is there anything we can do to get paid for hours worked. I...

  16. What kind of bag do you use?

    I purchased a craft tote from Wal-mart that has 9 individual inner sections and multiple zippered pockets on four sides. To this, I added a 20 inch zippered topper that I made and sewed into place to keep contents secure.I have a clean and a dirty...

    We are only paid for home visits, travel / driving time, mileage is forty cents a mile and on call is $ 1.25 an hour.The weekly mandatory staff meetings are not compensated. Standard is 27.5 visits per week. I routinely see a weight of 30 to 35 an...

    Has anyone considered Brunswick Community college ADN? I understand the wait time to enter is not as severe.
  19. NHRMC

    It's all about control. If you knew the core group of management , you would have your answer.
  20. NHRMC

    As a veteran of "The Network" AKA New Hanover Regional Medical Center , I can substantiate the above posts describing the terrible work situation at New Hanover. It is a given that longevity is frowned upon as they do not desire to pay for it. Most u...
