  1. The perfect private duty setting

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you for your input. It was IVIG while he was inpatient every 3 weeks. Now it is weekly SubQ. Sorry for the

  2. The perfect private duty setting

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    Oh, I know! The nursing agency I spoke to last week told me there are two nurses who are qualified to do the case but they won't even recommend them because I'm a nurse, too. I guess some nurses don't...

  3. The perfect private duty setting

    HisTreasure replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    Thank you for the advice! We are clean people even with the kids (except for the playroom usually), the nurse has his bedroom for privacy or the family room in the basement if she doesnt want to be...

  4. Help with Prior Approval on ePaces?

    HisTreasure posted a topic in Private Duty

    Has anyone done a prior approval for ePaces before? I am getting errors on the submission online and unfortunately customer service is not very helpful, referring me back to the online help, which...

  5. Was just offered a clinical liaison position!

    HisTreasure posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am very excited... I've been working per diem up until now and I could really use the break from the bedside while I continue my education. Plus, it's full time which is a major blessing in this...

  6. Welcome Back! What are Excelsior College Students doing this week?

    HisTreasure replied to LoopsRN2's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm studying for Chronicity. Blah... Just graduated with my BA in Youth Ministry (after changing majors umpteen times) but still feel the need to have those two letters behind my

  7. Thank you for all your comments over the years

    HisTreasure replied to ventmommy's topic in Private Duty

    My sincere condolences. What a blessing you were to that little man. May he rest in

  8. New to PDN

    HisTreasure replied to seijidan's topic in Private Duty

    I've worked Medicaid cases before and like PP have said, a communication book is what some use. I was the primary on my last case and I'm in the process of opening a new one. In these instances, I...

  9. PDN at night

    HisTreasure replied to another_vent_mommy's topic in Private Duty

    In a past life I was a NOC nurse. It's hard to stay awake at night unless you are allowed activities/television and if there isn't much to do it can bring on boredom. My biggest issue was missing my...

  10. A payroll card instead of a check???

    HisTreasure replied to fery632's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for an agency that did it. It was quite convenient except I couldn't use it at the pump for gas. It also had fees for every withdrawal or non-signature debit. Those were the only downfalls....

  11. Maxin nsg per diem

    HisTreasure replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in Private Duty

    Maxim left a bad taste in my mouth. Like, seriously bad. Granted, they hired me at a "higher" rate of pay for my experience but they misled me on the payor on a specific case. Long story short, they...

  12. HawthoRNe

    HisTreasure replied to nalaa83's topic in Nursing Humor

    Love it!!! I used to watch Nurse Jackie, too, but can't watch this season because we don't have Showtime and I refuse to get it (although hubby wouldn't care if I did...) I've been watching the last...

  13. Help identifying lung sounds of vent baby

    HisTreasure replied to n315,lpn's topic in Private Duty

    Dear heavens, this thread went downhill fast. I would read the notes and see how others describe the lung sounds, to develop some consistency. Talk to your CM and the RT to see if they can point you...

  14. Emergencies in the home

    HisTreasure replied to Sneech07's topic in Private Duty

    I have been in home health off and on for years. I am also a foster parent for a medically fragile child (respite only currently) and has seen many scary incidents both working and as a fp. At the...

  15. Do you "friend" your pts on Facebook???

    HisTreasure replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in Private Duty

    I'm sort of on the other end of that spectrum. I have friended clients once they were no longer clients and I have quite a few coworkers (past and present) on the Book. I'm pretty well-known in my...

  16. Emeritus Assisted Living

    HisTreasure posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone ever work for this company? They are nationwide, and I just submitted my application for a couple of their positions in the local area. Sometimes when I see a lot of vacancies I get a little...

  17. CNA salary

    HisTreasure posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not a CNA, have never been one- but I wish I had been. I appreciate CNAs, and I am trying to convince my brother to become one. The job market is wide open for CNAs and he needs a job with...

  18. Some crazy/funny things that patients did.

    HisTreasure replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    In clinicals, teamed up with a classmate some years ago we went in to give a heavier male patient a bed bath. As we're getting to the peri-area she starts getting quiet and sort of shying away from...

  19. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    HisTreasure replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your surgery isn't until 3PM, it's only 8:30. Please stop coming up to the window asking if we've had a cancellation and can we take you early. We probably can't. We've told you that 12 times. The...

  20. Night shift then caring for twins all day?

    HisTreasure replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    I had young children when I worked nights. I lived on 4 hours of sleep per day in the morning before my husband went to work and 2-3 hours when he got home before I went to work. I was very sick, very...

  21. I want her fired!!!!

    HisTreasure posted a topic in General Nursing

    If I hear that one more time I swear I am going to stop wherever I am and scream. Literally. I will stand there and scream until The People come to take me away for evaluation. :uhoh21: I haven't...

  22. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    HisTreasure replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Do not be an uncontrolled diabetic P4G0 pregnant with a too large baby for dates requiring daily home care visits. When my nurse shows up to give your insulin do not be waterlogged from drinking two...

  25. Tubal Ligation Failure

    HisTreasure replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I understand how OP feels. I hope my post didn't come across as trying to make her feel bad because I certainly WAS NOT. Another pregnancy would devastate us emotionally, financially, and physically....
