  1. Teaching and When to get out

    We stay in until wound is healed, going out 1xweekly for skilled observation.
  2. Cath Stories

    Hello everyone, Isn't home health great? I cannot believe some of my foley cath insertion stories and was wondering what stories everyone else has. Today I cathed a 600 pound woman, it took four other people to hold back the flesh. She was so sweet...
  3. Need positive reinforcement- people can be so mean!

    I know this sounds very is cliche, but those patients tend to irritate me more when I have pms. Hang in there. Some people are so irritating. Be glad they aren't on daily wound care, like my current difficult family.
  4. what a day

    UGGHH. Sorry.
  5. I don't think I can do this anymore...

    The last few weeks for me have also been filled with annoying family members. It would be so much easier if we could ask the family members to step outside, like we could in the hospital, but in HH you can't. Uggh. I hope you find what you need.
  6. Being a Nurse for a Killer

    Sounds like you're the judge and jury now. It was just an honest question, no need to berate.
  7. I need to vent!! :

    Oh this is the most annoying part about home health. I call at 9, get this groaning, slow...."heloooo" No I don't want to see you before noon. I was up all night watching tv. I hate the new gal's hair, but I am legally blind. Or the ones who are in...
  8. What am I going to do?

    Yes of course you can, especially since you doubt you'll even want to go back to nursing. Please take care of yourself, jobs will always be there if you decide to return. All the best.
  9. A Tribute to George

    Thank you for being such a great nurse.
  10. Attitudes towards LPN's

    Complacent? That would be like a runner scoffing at another runner for "only" doing a half marathon. Geez. Becoming an LPN is a huge accomplishment.
  11. And nobody doubts you aren't needed. You are. You just aren't there to assess.
  12. I am the person from the original post. As a nurse I have made mistakes. I have never ignored obvious signs of infection. I doubt there are many nurses who would do so. Fever, redness, pus at op site warrants a look see by a doctor. I was not her nur...
  13. I would have if I had been the one calling about the fever. I was calling for a med clarification.
  14. Thanks Batman, The MD knows all of the above. I didn't even think about the BON. I shall do that tomorrow. First thing. Thanks.
  15. Today I was at a patient's home and had to call the doctor. The answering service said "If you would like to speak to a nurse press 3" So I pressed three. A girl came on, "This is Tina" and I said "Hi Tina I'm a nurse with so & so and your machi...
