  1. Do you have nurses on call for extended care?

    eeffoc_emmig replied to Loodlow's topic in Private Duty

  2. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    eeffoc_emmig replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I should have more clear in my previous post. I've worked private duty, M.D. offices and LTC facilities...I've never been told that ever in my nursing

  3. Have you ever had an accident driving to work in a snow storm?

    eeffoc_emmig replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been told I'm legally bound to go to work.

  4. Never a "thank you"...

    Glad to hear I'm not alone in this way of thinking.

  5. LPN programs in Knoxville, TN?

    eeffoc_emmig replied to lsuter1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Tennessee Technology Centers offer an LPN program that lasts just under a year and costs around

  7. Not affectionate enough???

    eeffoc_emmig replied to Tired_Mommy's topic in Private Duty

    Trend or not...I refuse to cuddle or kiss on any patient. All it takes is one time for it to be taken the wrong way and bye bye license. Nope. Not happening

  8. SNF Resurvey AGAIN. License may be at risk. RN wants to quit job.

  9. Never a "thank you"...

    eeffoc_emmig replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    You're correct. Nursing is a normally thankless job. In my opinion, no job should be thankless. I understand families are stressed. And I certainly don't expect a "thank you" for everything I do....

  10. Never a "thank you"...

    eeffoc_emmig replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I WAS that dedicated. I no longer do things like this. The families don't appreciate it and neither does the agency. I work every shift I agree to, but no longer fill in. If the driving conditions are...

  11. Do you ever feel like you have to defend your position as a PDN?

    eeffoc_emmig replied to mluvsgnc's topic in Private Duty

    I've been told PDN is not REAL nursing. I've also been told I'm not a REAL nurse (I'm an LPN). Whatever. I have a REAL license and I make REAL money that pays REAL bills for my REAL

  12. Irked, but I should understand (Vent)

    eeffoc_emmig replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    Even if you were sick, a mask isn't going to prevent the child from catching it. You would have to keep a mask on AT ALL TIMES and change it out often and even then I'm sure there is a possibility of...

  13. Never a "thank you"...

    eeffoc_emmig replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I understand completely! I once spend 5 HOURS (not exaggerating - the drive normally would have been an hour) on the road during a snow storm. I was late getting there, obviously. HOWEVER, I was...

  14. I don't understand this...(vent)

    eeffoc_emmig posted a topic in Private Duty

    I've worked a good number of pediatric private duty cases. Most of them have been older kids (teenagers). The parents spent a decent amount of time with the patients. My current patient is 3. He's...

    eeffoc_emmig posted a topic in Private Duty

    At my main case we have cubbies for each nurse. I keep plastic utensils, Mio, snacks, etc so I don't have to drag everything around in my lunch bag. (2 other nurses do the same) I really don't mind if...

    Ew. Now I'm starting to imagine her maybe not washing her hands and touching my things. ..or licking my utensils and putting them back.

    eeffoc_emmig replied to eeffoc_emmig's topic in Private Duty

    The first time it happened, I nicely asked her about it. She denied taking anything. I knew it was her because she and I worked the same rotation that week. Might try it again this weekend when she...

  25. Vent: Difficult Case

    eeffoc_emmig replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Private Duty

    As medical professionals we are required to report such things. The company only cares about the money. Report it and get a different case or
