  2. All the cool people work nights!

    Elle23 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work private duty nights, so no teamwork here. And no diff! I worked both shifts throughout my hospital nursing career, and there are certainly benefits to each shift. At one unit I worked (NICU),...

  3. Advice for dealing with addicts?

    Elle23 replied to garnetgirl29's topic in Addictions

    I guess I am not understanding why you feel the need to withhold medications that are legitimately ordered for these patients to take as needed during the period of detox. I understand that dealing...

  4. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    Elle23 replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    A family I know of has kids named Peace, Watchman, Standard, Given, Victory, and Praise. I'm all for biblical names, but I thought these were a bit out

  5. Full length modest scrub skirts

    Elle23 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am glad to know there is a company that makes long scrub skirts. When I was looking for them, all I could find was knee length or just below (which is why I ended up using the other ones in the link...

    Elle23 posted a topic in Private Duty

  7. Working Weekends

    Elle23 replied to luvtwilight's topic in Private Duty

    At my agency we only work when we want to. I love it. I am able to take off whenever I want for vacations, don't have to work Sundays, etc. It was never that way when I worked in the hospital. The...

  8. Student nurse...on night shift?

    Elle23 replied to Elle23's topic in Private Duty

    Interestingly, the student never showed up, and I never heard anything else about it. Maybe they too realized the absurdity of it! Not sure how much I could expound upon the world of home health...

  9. Full length modest scrub skirts

    Elle23 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wondered if their skirts run long because 39 inches is usually floor length for me, not 37. Maybe they have a different way of measuring..? The 34 is like a 36 inch would be in other

  10. Full length modest scrub skirts

    Elle23 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am 5' 4" and the 37 inch was floor length on me. I had to have some length taken off. I have bought the 34 inch since and they land mid to lower calf. I would honestly prefer somewhere in between,...

  11. Full length modest scrub skirts

    Elle23 replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I use these skirts. They work very well. You can customize the length and add pockets. They come in regular and plus size. http://www.modestapparelusa.com/long-elastic-waist-twill-skirt.html I have...

  12. Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

    Elle23 replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    I am currently working private duty night shift, and I can't imagine sleeping on the job! It never even crossed my mind! I am responsible for the life and well-being of the child I am caring for when...
