    Please help me, I need advice...I'm so broken

    nursel56 replied to auntdd's topic in Home Health

    As far as the job is concerned...I hate to be so blunt, but great relationships turn sour in Private Duty, and trying to understand what happened is sometimes futile. We all want to make sense of...

    Still Angry at MAs playing nurse or PA

    nursel56 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In all the years I worked in ambulatory care there never was an instance when the common "I"ll talk to the doctor and get back to you" followed up (hopefully :-)) with "I talked to the doctor and..."...

    Medical Assistants - Good Career Move or Not?

    nursel56 replied to igus2666's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First of all, the tone of your reply makes me wonder what is so objectionable about being a med tech, yet another category under the umbrella term of UAP, but that I happened not to mention when I...

    The Childish "I Wuv You" Act

    nursel56 replied to LittleTwinStars's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LittleTwinStars I think I understand a little of what you are saying and I'm personally a huge stickler for respecting body space and boundary issues. It's for this reason I'm against pressuring...

    Nurses who hate patients - advice

    nursel56 replied to livelaughlove09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My thoughts exactly. Also if you know they are making up their documentation, you have to report it. Hated that I had to do that very early in my career but I do not regret

    Hospitalizations and Pdn

    nursel56 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    Sigh. . .I guess we have to get used to this. I can see the hospital or emergency dept being classified as "another provider" since they do have resources in place, but the average employee at a...

    Hospitalizations and Pdn

    nursel56 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    My experiences track with yours ventmommy and eeffoc. The plan of care specifically permits accompanying the client on outings (including visits to their doctor) and prohibits the nurse from...

    Hospitalizations and Pdn

    nursel56 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    Usually our nurses drive to the hospital and stay with the patient until what would've been the end of the shift and so far as I know, the agency always pays the hours. I know of at least one case...

    What would you do???

    nursel56 replied to Missingyou's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ....yep...seems like the issue needs to be shared and expectations vs reality communicated between family, nursing and the resident's doctor. I would want to know if a seemingly benign request...

    The OTHER nurse cleans... hint, hint

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I agree . . .I like to knit as well, which turned out well for downtime when the family is up and

    The OTHER nurse cleans... hint, hint

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    Oh yes, and even if you did I understand that every case is unique. I once worked in a home with 2 children needing care. Well one of the other kid's nurses was so hyper she would start cleaning...

    The OTHER nurse cleans... hint, hint

    nursel56 replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

    I think it really boils down to what sort of personnel are running your agency. Bless those who follow state guidelines on funding of skilled nursing hours. eeffoc_emmig-- for me it would be a cold...

    First lvn job!

    nursel56 replied to TexasLVN516's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Congratulations! Since I don't know any specifics about your new job, I would offer some general advice. Any "homework" you do ahead of time can chase away some of your butterflies. I would review...

    LPNs make RNs seem more impressive?

    nursel56 replied to RN-HSA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Very true, but the premise of your thread raised the issue of whether or not it is necessary to have the lower strata there to make the higher one more "impressive" to other people and not integral to...

    A selfish nurse

    nursel56 replied to infexious's topic in General Students

    Reads like the rough draft of an essay to me....anyway.. trying to read between the lines here...are you getting negativity from friends who are not as driven as you are? That tends to be a common...

    Is there really a future for new LPN's??

    nursel56 replied to Sharls237's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's how it worked at one of the hospitals I worked at. I found it to be a really sweet set up,

    ADN's being pushed out

    nursel56 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The latest push for funding is loan forgiveness for financing of post-graduate degrees. It works like this. Make a specious prediction that a calamitous nursing shortage is set to reappear in 2020....

    Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    nursel56 replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There has recently been what I consider to be a major development in the unified propaganda machine. One of those experts who could reliably be counted on to tow the most current ANA-AACN line and...

    is it worth it to keep your license active?

    nursel56 replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    That's how it worked in my state back in 2004. Just to make sure you get the most accurate and current info it would be best to check with your state

    is it worth it to keep your license active?

    nursel56 replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    I was hired back into nursing after being out for years. I never intended to return but I kept paying the fees and was on "inactive" meaning all I needed was to take my 30 hrs of CEUs and I was good...

    LPNs make RNs seem more impressive?

    nursel56 replied to RN-HSA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that anytime you gett a group of people together they will begin to establish a pecking order, no matter what "class" or background they come from and that if prestige is as big a deal as it...

    Medical Assistants - Good Career Move or Not?

    nursel56 replied to igus2666's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Basically, Medical Assisting is completely different from nursing. There are some tasks that overlap, especially in outpatient settings but in my view the similarities end there. I will say that the...

    nursel56 replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sounds great Michael! Your school sure isn't wasting time getting right into it. I haven't met a person yet who isn't at least a little rattled by the instructor watching but try and remember their...

    Problems with a co-worker

    nursel56 replied to corrnurse93's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think you should definately talk with your new manager, especially since she took the initiative to ask you. Honestly, to me you don't come across as disrespectful. Think of it as advocating for...
