    New grad-Looking for advise on recently made RESUME

    SuzieVN replied to JKrawl4LO's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It can actually be tough to see the obvious in something you've written yourself- your mind plays tricks. For clear examples of errors that you will notice right 'off the bat', go the jobs section at...

    Come to think of it, that's my advice- run it through a spell check thingie, and go from

    New grad-Looking for advise on recently made RESUME

    SuzieVN replied to JKrawl4LO's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There are quite a few structural/grammatical errors. Most obvious is that you have used past tense, and then present tense, and also future tense in your prior positions (workED, procESS, 'will be')....

    Where do all these trachs COME from?

    SuzieVN posted a topic in Home Health

    I see trach (and vent) ads all over, in here, papers, online. It would appear there are, like, thousands of trach patients in homes all over the place? What is going on- where do they all come from?...

    On call- what it really means:

    SuzieVN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Interesting. I really didn't know if on call meant that if families call, then the on call nurse calls in staff to go see them, as in staffing coordinator. It means the on call goes. How utterly naive...

    Let's talk $$ for hospice. (Idea lifted from Agency nursing)

    Tell the CNA to clock out and go home

    SuzieVN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have seen countless nurse and aides 'set up', so they could be 'gotten rid' of. Countless. And what's sick is that in right to work states, no reason is needed- why can't people just be fired, and...

    Can I post resume online without my name on it?

    SuzieVN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm just trying to avoid my personal information being gleaned from a million data mining sites that have nothing to do with employing me. I'm convinced a LOT of those 'resume builder' sites are just...

    How does your facility confirm you are giving all your meds?

    SuzieVN replied to fairyluv's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Time constraints, pressure to get through the day, laziness? I've known a few or more nurses also that will do anything to avoid doing what they are supposed to. Like Brandon- take the pills out,...

    Homebound Status

    SuzieVN replied to momsnurse1's topic in Home Health

    Strange. Friend works in a SNF. They are directed to try to keep people in a few day longer to max their rehab, because the HB rules say that if they are mobile, even requiring a wheelchair, they no...

    HHA vs Hospice, compare/contrast?

    SuzieVN posted a topic in Home Health

    Both are relatively insecure. or unstable as income goes? HHA pays better? HHA goal is to keep people out of acute or LTC? Hospice goal is palliative, hopefully they die at home, rather than inpatient...

    How much urine CAN a bladder hold?

    SuzieVN posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    SNF. Got report that "Mr. Smith" was acting 'funny'. After report I checked him- his belly was bigger than a basketball. He had a catheter, with scant/foul urine. I decided to try to irrigate it....

    Networking is 'da bomb' for sure- but people in here use false identies, etc., for a good reason. In fact- I'm about as 'Suzie' as Bruce Willis would be as 'Sally'. Never too sure, dealing online....

    SuzieVN replied to LPN4life2004's topic in Home Health

    Very observant of you. Visit or shift? And even if either, ignore it, perhaps? It is his house (hers). Interesting concept all around, though. I've been in such nasty and unholy circumstances that...

    Waiting with baited breath to learn how it goes. Be sure to ask your AG, since RI is a compact state- does that affect the other states in the compact? Good
