Hi everyone... I'm in my late 20's, and I am not able to walk or stand for long periods of time. I've had this for about 5-6 years. I've seen a podiatrist who diagnosed me with Planter fasciitis and he said I may or may not fully get better. I left a...

Hi everyone. I recently left my wonderful QA home health job and moved to Houston because of my husband's job. I've been looking at many home health agencies and haven't been able to find any QA position. I've also applied in hospitals for nurse audi...

Thank you so much for the advice HouTX and RNlvn. I really appreciate it, and I will look into it. =)

Hi everyone, I have a condition which doesn't allow me to walk without pain (plantar fasciitis). I have had this for years now, and I need advice. Where can I work when I have this problem? I would like to work at a hospital since I would like better...

I work as a QA nurse in Tx for the first time and I am being asked to write "missed visit" notes for the nurses that don't turn in their notes so that the frequency is met and the home health can bill for the cert episode. They say that it's a very c...

If you were a QA nurse would you write a missed visit note knowing that one day you might be called on it? I'm still struggling with this (if I should write a missed visit note or note). Just would like some advice. Thanks.

I also wanted to update this post with a story that one my Co Workers told me. There was a patient that was not seen for two weeks and that patient complained since they were sick at the time. State came to audit and address that patient complaint an...

I have pain when I walk. I've been diagnosed with plantaf fasciitis. I'd really like to go to school again but it's hard because of my pain. Does anyone know on where I can get an online BSN that doesn't require any clinical because my condition does...

I would love to walk and do clinicals but unfortunately my condition prohibits me and I have to make the most of it...

To answer some questions: I am an ADN RN and currently work in QA. Although I may not be able to do hospital work, I still want to advance my education. I have seen many different types of doctors and still I have the pain. Thanks again for all the...

Hi Fellow nurses... I'm a 22 year old female nurse with plantar fasciitis (heel pain) bilateraly. This has prevented me from working in the hospital, grocery shopping, renting videos, etc. I've tried many conservative methods and none are working for...

Hi again everyone and thanks again for your kind replies. Is this permanent? How do I know if I'm getting better? I would expect that everyday I'll experience some time of relief or gradual reduction of pain, but I don't. It just feels like the same ...

I've gone to a podiatrist. Thanks again for the replies... Will this ever go away though? I've heard that it may be permanent...

Everyone, thanks for your kind responses. I've tried zcoil shoes, birki's (which helps), corral calcium, soy milk, stretching, massages, icing, and now PT. In reponse for the reply to tvccrn. My feet pain isn't enough to warrant the surgery which is ...

Hi everyone.... I work for a Home Health agency and part of my job is to administer TB tests for new and current employees. I did a test to a provider two days ago and she comes back with the area swollen and red. Maybe about 20-25mm. She said it hur...

Hey everyone, Thanks for all your replies. I feel a lot better! Thanks!

Hey everyone! Thanks for all the replies! I feel a lot better! I love going here knowing I can get support from fellow nurses! Thanks again!

Hey Seren21. I hear you... In fact I've stopped working as a nurse. I'm a new grad with about 6 months of experience, and I quit. I couldn't handle the stress.

I've been working for about 6 months now and I found that whenever I have to work I can't sleep... If i'm off I have no trouble sleeping, but when I know that I'm working the next day I can't sleep. After self analyzing myself I realized that I'm kee...

How would you answer this question? I want to say that because "I am dedicated, hard working, etc..." But won't most applicants say that? Thanks everyone...

Sorry if I'm posting this on the wrong forum, but I do need advice. Anyone here have tried going from a RN to Pharmacist? If so, do you have any advice? How do you like it? Thanks everyone!!!

Hey Daytonite, Thanks for the response. I thought no one would respond! Do you know if it looks bad if you have a couple of dropped class. I have about a 3.4 GPA and a couple of dropped classes, and I wonder if having dropped classes would make me lo...

I want to be a pharmacist!!! I'm trying for that now. Please pray for me!
