  3. I hate my life.....

    nurseby07 replied to MrsIndependent's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you're in a rut. I hated the envy I would feel towards the 20 years olds at school who were doing it the "right way". I went through nursing school as a single mom with two kids. I now...

  5. Mi RN moving to Portland oregon

    nurseby07 replied to moffist's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I have to agree that that was a pretty dumb comment about the east side, but equally untrue if you think the westside doesn't have all that you described. Yes, the disgusting urban growth has spread...

  13. Medical Marijuana for RN's

    nurseby07 replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    nurseby07 replied to meriposa's topic in Home Health

    That sounds like Amedisys...I was paid hourly by them but was told we were the only agency in the U.S. who was. They are a monster and desperate to conquer the home health industry. In answer to...

  18. New to Nursing, New to Home Health!

    nurseby07 replied to Aniroc's topic in Home Health

  21. New to Nursing, New to Home Health!

    nurseby07 replied to Aniroc's topic in Home Health

    I wish school had taught us more about wound care. HH nurses deal with wounds daily and we are expected to know what to do. I have read, studied, shadowed WOCNs but I still have no idea. I would...
