  1. Breaking up is hard to do

    ceebeejay posted a topic in Private Duty

    Due to changes in the 485 due to medicaid, I am no longer on my longest peds case. A part of me is relieved, another terrified, and my heart is so sad. I will miss this case. I would love to know...

  2. Yay!! I get the poop magnet award!! Who else is so fortunate?!

    ceebeejay replied to RunninOnCoffee's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHAHAHA! I thought this only happened to me! It gets so the parents anticipate me coming because they know their worrying will be

  3. Purposeless Ranting just to make myself feel better for a second.

    ceebeejay replied to CourtneyRN2014's topic in General Nursing

    (((hugs))). I have screamed to heaven what you have posted here many times. Personally, I believe one key is the resume issued as stated by Monkeyhq. It's a void for novice RNs. You have your BSN,...

  4. Car sickness

    ceebeejay replied to hellokitty73's topic in Private Duty

    Look out the window. The brain needs to see that you are in motion. Other than that some dramamine otc. If that doesn't help, then to the doc you

  5. Leaving home patient for own health emergency

    ceebeejay replied to Tpschwandt's topic in Private Duty

    As someone else stated different BONs have different rules and each is reviewed on a case by case basis. That said, I would sit on the neck of the agency until they got someone or the nurse manager...

  6. What's it like to be a private duty RN?

    ceebeejay replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Private Duty

    Yes to what everyone else posted, and I always get to eat my meal and go to the bathroom... drink coffee, etc. But, I also get no paid vacation, sick, or personal days. That is not fun when it's your...

  7. Associate of Arts or Associates of science?

    ceebeejay replied to bekahinpink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went in as an AA and transferred to my community college's AS-RN program. As long as your degree will allow you to take your A&P and Microbiology classes as part of the degree, it should be...

  8. Verbal abuse

    ceebeejay replied to middleagednurse's topic in Private Duty

    I am in awe of you. You stayed and got the child to a safe environment. I am not sure I would have been collected enough to manage that. Good for you for being brave and not going back. The child...

  9. A new puppy!!

    ceebeejay replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    There are therapy dogs and service dogs. The way you are describing the puppy is as a service dog and would have be be certified as such by an agency which does that, such as the AKC....

  10. HISTORY 1311

    ceebeejay replied to donogood's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Awful. Just awful. A LOT of work. A course to take all by

  11. A new puppy!!

    ceebeejay replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I can't see how it would be added, unless it's a working animal which assists the patient. If you enjoy it and don't mind that's fine. However, having and caring for a pet is not an Activity of...

  12. Should Nurses Bill Separately from Hospitals and Physicians?

    ceebeejay replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Many medical professions do this and survive quite nicely, so I think billing, as an issue, is a non-starter. The real issue is it will never be allowed to happen because insurance companies do not...

  13. PDN shot and killed

    ceebeejay replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    I agree that safety is a 24/7 issue for anyone. However, PDN's and HH nurses are particularly vulnerable to problems because they are in a closed and foreign environment with people whom we generally...

  14. Time to move on

    ceebeejay posted a topic in Private Duty

    I think it's time to start looking for a new case. The family is great, the kids are great, but I have come to the point where I think I just don't have anything more to bring to the table with this...

  15. I am a nurse, darn it!

    ceebeejay posted a topic in Private Duty

    Text from patient at 8pm = bring bathing suit and change of clothes because I am bringing X to pool and I need you in the pool to help. A) I have no lifeguard training or CPR training for...

  16. Time to move on

    ceebeejay replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    Good for you! Great to hear they are paying for your training. I have to get over the fact that I just love these little guys, which is not benefiting my goals further. BTW, your post made me...

  17. Professional Nurse Resume Writers

    ceebeejay replied to juschillin's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I came to ask this question. It's disappointing that there are no recommendations other than how to do it for yourself. I have taken the advice and examples. Something is wrong. My friends with...

  18. Random Funny

    ceebeejay replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    Wow. Just wow. If they really wanted to know, they should have flat out asked you right

  19. I am a nurse, darn it!

    ceebeejay replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    What bothers me was the expectation that I am supposed to just do it. I get that many people are fine with it and that's fine with me. However, just because I am a nurse doesn't mean I will be...

  20. No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

    ceebeejay replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    It's naive to think you can post your opinion on the internet and there will not be an opposing view. Should they attack personally, no. Again, it's the internet. It's just about as public as you...

  21. New PDN...which case to choose

    ceebeejay replied to xyra_01's topic in Private Duty

    Go with both. I learned the hard way not to put all my eggs in one basket. No matter how tempting it is at times because I get asked by the agencies that pay me more to take more days with the same...

  22. I am a nurse, darn it!

    ceebeejay replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    Yes, this. This is how I see

  23. I am a nurse, darn it!

    ceebeejay replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    Why do the agencies need waivers, because we live in a litigious

  24. I am a nurse, darn it!

    ceebeejay replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    I here you. The agency puts our cell phone numbers in the client book. In my opinion, this breeds more problems than it

  25. I am a nurse, darn it!

    ceebeejay replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    Agency says I did the right thing. They need a waiver from the parents for any trips away from the home and if I am uncomfortable with it, I am not required. Pool time is not fun time for everyone....
