No, I am sorry. I am just a little tired this week. My car has been hit twice in one week, I am working 6 days a week , raising two kids and have two college classes I am trying to keep up on. I will get some rest on Sunday and all will be good again. Have a great day !!

You are sounding either like you worry to much , or you are to suspicous. Don't you frett little one. I have plenty of insurance.

I dont' work for an agency. I am self employed. Thanks anyway. I will make up my own. And they are not for me to smuggle home a patients records. They are for me to keep daily records of activities and record vitals, bowel movements,I/O's, etc... I design and put together folders pertaining to individual clients needs and cicumstances. In this folder i keep a daily record of everything done with that client. Pretty smart, huh?!!

I am looking for Documentaion charts. I am a Medical Assistant and I do private in home caregiving. I am currently working with a SCI patient who recently was released from the VA in Seattle after he was struck by a car while riding his motorcyle last year. I made up a Spinal Cord Injury Handbook for this client with informational subjects for SCI's. And in it I have a section where i documents his I/O's, vitals, medication log, etc.. I am very carefull about recording everything !! The only thing I could find on the internet were I/O sheets and treatment planners. Stuff like that, but no good client documentation sheets. I just want plain ol' charting sheets. Nothing fancy. I guess I could just make my own up with "Works". Just thought I would ask anyway. I work 6 days a week plus i went back to school a couple months ago to work toward Bachelors in Science and also working towards Surgical Technology degree. I am so tired most the time I don't have it in me to do massive serches on something so minor. I have been using notebook paper, and wanted something a little more professional looking. Thank you for you reply !!! :

I have been looking also and have had no luck. If you find any good sites to obtain these, please let me know. Thanks

I started out in Nursing as a CNA some 20 years ago. Watching the elderly, cancer patients,etc. suffering in the nursing home made me question everything frome my purpose in life to what their purpose was in this life. I now know that our purpose in life is not to suffer needlessly as we are a compassionate being. I was pretty young and green, but i was taking care of a gentleman who had one legs amputated at the thigh and gangreen in the other leg. He had other issues to which I can't quite recall. He was dying a horrible painfull death. One day a Doctor came in and i asked if their was anything he could do for this man becouse there was a constant, disturbing groan coming from him and he would constantly turn his head from side to side. I could almost feel his pain. It was horrible. The Doctor said to me, "don't worry,I amgoing to give him some morphine and I keep upping the dose untill he goes to sleep" I wasn't shocked, or disturbed in any way. In fact, I have never told this story. I was so relieved that he was not going to be in that horrible hell for very much longer. So yes, it's done all the time. It is just kept in the "family". Nursing is about helping people,be it going poop, or helping them end their suffering. Play God? No. Then why don't you call removing a breast,to save the life of a 36 year old woman playing God? Maybe God wanted that lady to pass on. It was in his plan and you screwed it up. Come on. We were given intelligence and compassion for a reason. If we have the knowledge and the love of health care, than why should it stop at a persons final agonizing hours. Death is part of life. If it taked a near lethal dose to stop their pain, and that dose is the fatal one, then thank GOD !!!
