  2. Hospice Thrift Store - what?!

    chopwood carrywater replied to ixchel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    A lot of hospices are non profits that developed out of a need for hospice care in many communities. They depended - then and now - on community support in the form of donations. Cash is king of...

  3. HOSPICE NURSES

    chopwood carrywater replied to Travise's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Do a google or bing search with the terms 'hospice providers' plus the state and county where the pt will be. That will provide a source for hospice nurses. If you are trying to find a private pay Rn...

  6. Patients wants a back rub

    chopwood carrywater replied to Oceanpacific's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Male nurse here; no issues with me giving one to a guy or gal. My main concern would be that they are not uncomfortable with me. I'm also pretty good with most animals as

  7. Patients wants a back rub

    chopwood carrywater replied to Oceanpacific's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand that for some people touch is very uncomfortable. And when that's the case, then I would never expect that person to get or give a massage. And I totally agree with 'been there done...

  8. Patients wants a back rub

    chopwood carrywater replied to Oceanpacific's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The use of massage and touch in general has long been an important and useful thing. I wonder if the ick factor is more of a cultural bias in America.vs other countries where touch is more...

  11. I Hate People (my rant)

    chopwood carrywater replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, I didn't mean to thank this post but I do need to say that your assumption about home hospice or inpatient hospice is wayyyy off. About 180 degrees off. What I love about hospice is that...

  13. I Hate People (my rant)

    chopwood carrywater replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think she is trying to figure many things out. I feel empathy for this person and hope she (?) can figure out some I sites into her self and a way forwards. So far on this thread I am disappointed...

  15. Compression Stockings?

    chopwood carrywater replied to RnH15's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you're working on the floor or on your feet all shift it's a good idea. I did and my BLLs were always happier for it. And as an added bonus... It feels soooo good when you take them off when you...

    chopwood carrywater replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    True story: Back in the day, our school began to teach sex Ed wayyyy before it was sop. There were no sex Ed textbooks back then so our beloved science teacher (I believe this was in 5 th grade) used...

    I'm usually not one to put something in like this but I just saw this headline in USA Today as I was settling down for the night. Not too many details - not too many clothes either... link: Police:...

  22. On-call hospice nurse

    chopwood carrywater replied to lwheatley's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It is just wrong and abusive that you are treated that way. I can't believe that any hospice administration who treats their staff so poorly, would be conscientious enough to treat and advocate for...

    chopwood carrywater replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    It's all good, and most of it is useful. The poster I loved the most when I first joined was Tewdles. I have not seen any of her posts for a couple of years. I recall from a post or 2 of hers that...
