In the 80th we had a senior physician who
smoked the cheapest cigarillos whereever
he went or stood. If you needed to find him,
you only had to follow the stink.
--- In a vascular surgery !
The compleance of the pts who had to stop
smoking was ... corresponding.
Yeah !
We have the same phenomenon at our
"Sozialstation Rungholt". I would like to
keep the door closed after them, but the
"skilled employees lack" ...
You just have to employ everyone, who has
the grace to work.
The Xmas-problem in our store is our manager.
The whole december you can´t take a step in
the office. Everywhere boxes and bags with
decoration. You hardly find a place to work.

There are the same wounds. If you have the basics, there will be no problem.
The most important is, to have a network:
Emergency numbers, pharmacy, medical supply store, chiropodist, hairdresser ....
Good luck, Frieda:wavey:

Hhhmmm.....
Changing boots/shoes isn´t that bad.
So you don´t carry the dirt into the house.
(Your pts will be grateful.)
In the car I put a big plastkbag on the ground.

I prefer soft rubber soles. The are less slippery
than plastik or leather.
In germany female nurses are called "Schwester" (=sister).
Male nurses are called "Pfleger" (~caregiver).
The officially term for both is "Gesundheits- und Krankenpfleger"
(~health- and sicknesscare) ... short: "GuK" (since the 1990th).
"Guk" has never prevailed in spoken language.

I use a calenderbook. 10x8 inches and nearly 2 inches thick. 1 page for every day. Looks important - for real - when I enter a date. And it works even at a blackout. And if the page is full ~~~ it´s full.
