hello, everyone! can you share your experiences with home health? 20 years ago, i worked as a c.n.a in a nursing home. i was so disappointed with the operation of the nursing home. unfortunately, i allowed my license to lapse and i am going back to ...

That is wonderful!!! Keep us updated!

Where I am I can work in a nursing home with a B.S.W. Those jobs are difficult to come by right now. I do not see the points in investing in a masters degree as the earnings for a Masters Degree Social Worker does not pay. Social work does not pay pe...

I guess you need to watch who you **** off and who you don't...

..and, who the person you stand up to, is friends with!!!!

Social work's fancy word for stress reliever is "self care"...and for those in professions dealing with helping or healing people it is VERY, VERY important.

Thank-you, for starting the thread. I like a good ghost story. I feel bad for the people who were anguished in their deaths, though.

Thank-you Med/Surg nurses!!!!

I do know after two children the nurses in the delivery room do all the work and the doctors get all the credit! Of course my "babies" are not "babies" they are 13 and 17 years old.

I think your sentiment is good...but in ALL professions there are pecking orders. While in school for social work, guess who is on the bottom of the pile ? Those who work with elders...and that is my passion. I LOVE working with elders even though 89...

I know this is off topic...but what is the steriotype of labor and delivery nurses?

I will say it, it's official, "...office nurses ARE COOL!!!!!" :)

that is when the company needs to send a male c.n.a in. when i did an internship at the area agency on aging we had one client like that and arranging care for him was like pulling teeth. the gentleman did it to himself though, no dementia but a chro...
