  1. Wound Care Documentation

    Eagle2110 replied to Ariel09's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Hi and welcome to the world of wound care!! Woundconsultant.com has some useful information. I once was a treatment nurse in a nursing home and pretty much had to educate myself. I now work for a...

  2. Need help with wound supplies - Medicare Insurance

    Eagle2110 replied to Elektra6's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Hi. Do you know if private duty nursing is the same as home health? I work in wound care and if the patient has home health then home health is required to provide all supplies since Medicare is...

  3. Measure epithelialization as part of wound?

    Eagle2110 replied to msnurse1234's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Sorry for the late response, no I don't measure it. I only document that it is

  4. Inane scripting

    Eagle2110 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hilarious!! You made me laugh. I'm from the south, and "showed his/her a**" is definitely a common phrase when speaking of a child

  5. Measure epithelialization as part of wound?

    Eagle2110 replied to msnurse1234's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Hi! Does your company have a file for policies and procedures regarding wound care? I've worked for a nursing home before that didn't specify and use to wonder the same thing! But anyway, to answer...

  6. New to wound care.... Several questions

    Eagle2110 replied to Kentuckyrn919's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    1. I have had physician's instruct cutting the sponge either way depending on the nature of the wound. 2. Misty may be right. I can't say either way because all of VACs are set to constant. 3. RNs do...

  7. Typical day at a wound care center

    Eagle2110 replied to NeekNurse's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Hi!! I'm a case manager at a fairly busy wound care clinic so hopefully I give you the answer you need. Monday-Friday we see an average of 20 patients per day. When the patient comes in, a nurse...

  8. Does this feeling ever go away?

    Eagle2110 replied to ps3114's topic in General Nursing

    I think it does go away, especially if you're working in an area of nursing you love; and/ or a good work environment. Experience does matter but I do not think it takes "years" for that experience to...

  9. False reporting to BON

    Eagle2110 replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in General Nursing

    I would ignore her, she may just want a reaction so don't give it to her. I also would not call the board, her claims don't seem to have merit and if they found them credible/worth investigating, they...

  10. ER deaths

    Eagle2110 replied to ToriAneal's topic in Emergency

    Was in the ER during my preceptorship, patient brought in and died, had never seen her before in my life. Helped staff clean her up and disconnect tubes before the family was allowed in. First person...

  11. Question from non-nurse

    Eagle2110 replied to Imnotanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry that you've had such a bad experience. Honestly, I have come across both good and bad social workers. The deciding factor was usually where they worked. Many are overloaded with cases and...

  12. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    Eagle2110 replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "We don't necessarily have to be nice to our co-workers all the time, but we should at least be respectful."..Exactly! We don't have to be friends to be respectful. I truly believe that some people...

  13. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    Eagle2110 replied to jessimee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Should not be allowed. Yes everyone has different personalities but no one should have to work around a toxic person. Being mean without being provoked is what I consider bullying. Now if a co-worker...

  14. Telling Patients/Residents You Love Them?

    Eagle2110 replied to robynnel's topic in General Nursing

    Seems sort of weird for that to be a requirement of employees; however, I have had elderly patients tell me "Love you" and I say it back without even thinking. This usually come from patients who have...

  15. Don't you feel guilty for not working in a hospital?

    Eagle2110 replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Not at all. Have never desired to work hospital shifts and I always wanted to see patients come and go instead of in a room during my whole shift. I work Monday-Friday, no holidays/weekends/calls and...

    Now that I have to think about it......We didn't have lunch

  19. How are your grades posted?

    Eagle2110 replied to poog's topic in General Students

    I'm a little jealous of those of you how can pass with at least 75% and those who have grades other than from tests; 80% is passing for us and our only grades are from tests which are 50 questions/...

    Eagle2110 replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    All white...V-neck top in which we had to buy from the school, that has our green patches sewn on them. We were able to buy any style (white)

  21. Feeling sub-par...

    Eagle2110 replied to Ash81386's topic in General Students

    From the beginning, I told everyone not to ask me about my test grades. I dont mind discussing the test questions, but I do not make an annoucement to the whole class. I'm like this because people get...

    Eagle2110 replied to debra2013's topic in General Students

    My school sells this shopper tote type bag. It's wheeled, spacious, and has pockets on the front and side. However, the school sells them for $50-70. So, I went on Amazon and found mine for $27, some...

    Eagle2110 replied to rmkieft's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hello everyone! I'm commuting to nursing school this upcoming spring. It'll be an hour drive for me one-way, does anyone else do this or is going to? Did it work out fine or is it
