  1. I have the most amazing secretary

    MomRN0913 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My job stinks big time. I work in hospice/HH and I have been worke to death. The paperwork is piling up so bad on my desk that I actually can't work on my desk and had to move to another. I keep...

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really want to do something like that. But we actually have 2 secretaries and I would feel bad giving them to one and not the other! Especially since what she did was on the D.L. I need something...

    MomRN0913 replied to DLStango's topic in Home Health

  4. Where does the job end?

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

    27 years, god bless you. I have to be honest. I don't love enough to have my life taken away from me. To always be working, taking time away from my daughter, waking up todo work before work. It's...

  5. Moral dilemma.

    MomRN0913 posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a HH nurse, I saw a pt, late when the office was closed last night because I was running late because my day was so bad. Should have been an easy visit. The pt is very functional but had a fall...

  7. Where does the job end?

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

    It really isn't for me. My home life is my home life. It's me and my 5 year old and she comes first. I already have enough responsibility at home, I can't be working here too. Plus, I need a life!...

  8. RN's forced to do CNA work

    MomRN0913 replied to rnckr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Again, some people are only reading a portion of what the OP is saying and taking it out of context.I completely get it. She has no problems wiping a butt or answering a call bell as an RN. But she...

  9. Moral dilemma.

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the replies. We have a social worker. The transportation was initially not an issue. Before I put one in, I assessed these social factors. She said she never has a problem getting a...

  11. Not doing what I was hired for

    MomRN0913 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Another vent again. I was hired as a hospice nurse into my company 5 months ago. I was told there would be " a little bit of palliative care". Well, its only me the supervisor and the director in...

    MomRN0913 posted a topic in Home Health

    I thought I was getting into hospice and not all home health. (as per a very controversial conversation in GN) In one of my homecare cases (not hospice) I sat in pee again. ALOT of pee so that my...

  13. Young New Mom. Better to stay full time or per diem. Do you regret it?

    MomRN0913 replied to K21Babygurl's topic in General Nursing

    When my ex husband and I decided to have a baby, we knew knew I would work per diem and be covered under his benefits, so I could be home 5 days a week. And I did just that and it was great. In 5...

  14. My anger

    MomRN0913 replied to antesignani's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Probably because those are your only 2 professional interviews of your life. You said it there. Despite all the experience, they are sizing u what kind of person you are. That's very important too....

  15. The soul crushing part about nursing

    MomRN0913 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Home Health

    I have a few really bad visits lately. I am given the patients others would rather not see. It's the truth. I am worked to the bone for very little money and I'm not even doing what I signed up...

  17. Is this restraint issue a dilemma that can go to the ethical committee?

    MomRN0913 replied to J-Swish's topic in General Nursing

  18. I love my days off

    MomRN0913 replied to beast master RN's topic in General Nursing

    This thread just made me truly realize how much I miss my 3 12's. I work 5 loooooong days a week and after this weekend flew by in a blink, I was telling myself how much I really want my 4 days off...

  19. Help me here!

    MomRN0913 posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I made a post over in General Nursing that made a huge uproar. The content was misinterpreted, they went off track with what i said, but it turned into a debate about Palliative vs. Hospice care. I...

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    I have work to do on my day off:), so check out this thread, maybe some of you who think anyone who has any not so holy thoughts about their patients shouldn't be nurses or are uncaring, check out...

  21. Not doing what I was hired for

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    yes, there must be a DNR. You revoke the hospice benefit if you enter the hospital for treatment other than symptoms and pain that cannot be controlled in the home. You still will intitially revoke...

  22. Not doing what I was hired for

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    that's fine, you are all entitled to your opinion. Then only perfect nurses should be taking care of patients I guess. The nurse who says quietly to herself "OMG, he pooped again?" you wouldnt want...

    MomRN0913 replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    My roach infested people are not people dying in their homes, they are not hospice patients for the millionth time! Why is this the only focus of the message?! I don't get it. I also never ever...

  25. Cardizem gtt; is this reasonable?

    MomRN0913 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in Cardiac

    Why wouldn't the doc want to see a patient convert to a NSR with a hr in the 70's with a stable BP? Isn't that the
