VISN #6 - Asheville,N.C.

I do know how you feel. I had been having problems and was scheduled for a D&C. I had to go for per-op test and talk with the anaesthesiologist {was a male ,to make matters worse}. After talking with him, I got up to leave and found I had left a ...

Hi , I have been in nursing for a little over 10 years . Still love it. Athena, good luck with the new job. I live in Asheville , so if I can be of any help let me know . Feel free to ask here or pm me.

I work in HH . I often pre-fill insulin syringes for my pt's. 1-2 weeks at a time. When I was working on the units I did often ask another nurse to double check .

:roll yuck !

Lucy , yea , I know it's you , that's why I said be nice to your co-workers . I sent you a reply a little earlier , but I guess it went to never -never land. Renerian is right about trying to work in a circle or sometimes I go out to the farthere...

Hi Maxjulian , welcome to the wonderful world of HH. There is a forum for HH on this BB you may want to look at . HPBC is a little different from the community HH. No real advise , just take it one day at a time . You will be fine . Oh , and be r...

In NC to it has to be 2 licensed people {LPN/RN , RN/RN} one of which must be an RN . Either can hang /monitor ect.

Good Luck Rusty . I started Home Health a little over 3 years ago. Before that I had always worked in a hospital. Med/Surg , cardio. and then same day surg. I think I was beginning to burn out . I really like this job . Learn something new everyday ...

It's much harder to watch a loved one in pain or injured than it is a stranger! I don't usually have a problem with things bothering me . But when I took my daughter to have pins/staples removed after she had surg. on her feet , I passed out . I hav...

Welcome :)

Flo , I also wanted to say , I feel so bad that you are treated so badly. It made me realise now lucky I have been . When I first started thinking about going back to school, I was working as a patient service person { combination of housekeeper/tran...

ditto.

Thank You Karen. :kiss

I have been using Punctur-Guard , made by Bio-Plex for about a year now . I like them pretty well. These come in both regular and butterfly . The latest thing is that the vacutainer holder is discarded also . I was told at the last inservice that th...

I said the work , Where I work now I have great co-workers . This is the first job I've had where we truly work as a team . I do agree you don't have to like the people you work with , but it is a wonderful bonus when you do.

I live in Asheville,NC . There are several hospitals around the area . The largest is Mission-St.Joe's , these were separate hospitals now combined into one corp. Mission has the larger ER . St.Joe's has a wonderful cardiac unit. Both are good place...

I have , thank God nothing really bad . I have learned from these , if I've ever messed up on one thing , I am extra careful about this in the future. Have not made the same error twice. Who knowes someday I may be perfect..... but I kinda doubt it ....

Szccdw , I work for the VA in NC and they have ongoing job posting for CNA's . Also will hire new grads. Where are you located ?

I have become the "nail care nurse " at work . I work in home health. Most of my pt's live alone and just can't do this for themselves. One LOM will ask , Do you have time to do my nails? I always make the time . And HUGS , I love giving / getting ...

bandaidexpert , So sorry for your loss. Just today my baby passed away. Her name was Kate . She was the most loved cat for the past 14 years. I bottle fed her as a kitten ,after her mother died when she was born.

I don't know if this is for all VA's , but I work at one in NC . We have what is called fee basis . This is the same as prn . I'd talk with the nurse recruiter where you want to work. I do know the pay for RN's is 35 $ q h and is usually an 8 h shift...

Got them all but the gum. I may have even seen that and just forgot . My memory ain't what is used to be. Heather , my baby is older than you.
