  3. Night Shift PDNs....

    eeffoc_emmig replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

    Please don't take my post as whining. I know it could be far worse. I also understand that families don't owe us use of their internet. I just get frustrated with some of these people. We're trained...

  4. Night Shift PDNs....

    If not for being in a contract with a different carrier, I'd switch to Verizon for that plan. My carrier doesn't offer such a

  5. Night Shift PDNs....

    eeffoc_emmig replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

  9. Night Shift PDNs....

    eeffoc_emmig replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

    That could be a possibility regarding the WiFi...a simple statement explaining that would make us nurses feel a little better though. What about your lunch. .. if it required the use of a microwave?...

  10. Night Shift PDNs....

    eeffoc_emmig replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

    I wish my client's family were a little more thoughtful of that. It seems the last few cases I have been assigned to have been like this... thinking nurses are robots without

  11. Night Shift PDNs....

    eeffoc_emmig replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

    I have to alternate with my caffeine sources. I just stopped drinking all energy drinks a few weeks ago since they stopped working. I think I have too much blood in my caffeine

    eeffoc_emmig replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

    I guess I'll have to purchase a Nook...I really need something to keep my mind occupied. My client doesn't want to be touched at all once he goes to sleep. Kinda makes me wish he were a little more...

  15. Tips on dealing with difficult parents

    eeffoc_emmig replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    I, too, avoid them as much as possible. I try to perform as much care as I can when they aren't present. When they are present, I keep myself busy charting. If they try to invoke me in their family...

    Nice idea, but who has time to eat pizza while working...or who wants to eat pizza that's been sitting out for hours after being picked over by everyone? Not this

  18. This is horrible: the doctors and staff won't do anything

    eeffoc_emmig replied to Nola009's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When this incident occurred, was the POA not notified? If so, perhaps a follow up call to them is needed to advise that the pt is still in pain and hopefully they will get more

  19. am,pm or graveyard shift? which will you prefer?

    eeffoc_emmig replied to marinesgirl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    eeffoc_emmig replied to marinesgirl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I only work 12s so I can't tell you which of those are the best in LTC. I have worked days and nights in LTC. Nights are much calmer as far as number of people interrupting you (families, admin). I...

  21. PD is like the armpit of nursing

    eeffoc_emmig replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

  23. Threatened by family?
