IDK about you but smelling urine and dog poop all day is disgusting. We are home alone all shift so I don’t have a choice. I have spoke to mom and company. Do not plan on being here much longer. Looking elsewhere

Did that. I thinks she’s out. Waiting for message back

Update: so I finally told DON about mom. Her advice was either I confront her or she will. I verbalized the fact that mom isn’t the easiest to talk to and gets loud and argumentative from what I’ve seen in the past. DON tells me to put it in her ear that company is starting to do suprise visits due to rules being broken so it scares her into stopping. Well sent message to mom today to inform her of what I’ve heard from other nurses and yeah didn't go well.. she began to tell me that it’s her house and they can’t just pop up whenever and that they need to let her know first. I explained to her that I am employed by them so I’m not sure that’s true. She also said that her son lives here and he will go home after 3 whether they like it or not and if they have an issue they can call her. I explain to her that I understood the rule because if something were to happen I will be help liable and all she replied was that her son will go home after school since company doesn’t pay childcare for her.

Yes I can. It will put mom in a bind with no nurse but yes I am able to leave.

Hey guys! sorry I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to respond to everyone. I’ve decided enough is enough and I’m over it. Im looking for something else currently but thinking about stepping away from private duty. I just think being in someone’s house may cause issues cause at the end of the day it’s is THEIR house. The issue is that I’ve already been here with them for almost two years. So It wasn’t until almost a year in they started doing things like this but regardless I still stayed which was a mistake. The issue is that I should have said something from the beginning and never did so now I feel like it’s too late to say something now. I’ve tried to talk to my DON about the mom dashing it’s okay not to do care and the dogs and the misbehaving without redirection from family. Well she said she would get back to me and never did. That was almost a year ago.. so ultimately I do feel like it’s my fault for letting this go on so long

The mom is very defensive when it comes to her kids. She’s not really someone I can talk to. I’ve been here for a while not and I feel that she may be like why is it an issue now?? But it’s always been an issue I just never said anything and allowed them to take advantage of me. I want to tell the agency but I’ll scared they will tell mom I called to report them.. then what? Awkward.

What if I’m also documenting that care is being refused? No 5

I do find that it’s difficult cause they’ve been doing this for so long I believe that’s why I’m officially fed up. I’m afraid they may be like why are you barely saying anything but to be fair when I started I was never told sibling were not to be left with me. Common sense yes but I was never actually told.

I need advice big time. I’m new to home health about 2 years now and need advice. I’m seriously over it and considering a new specialty or being completely done with home health all together. I am constantly being taken advantage of. For example, the dogs poop and pee everywhere. Siblings will see it and do nothing so I feel I have no choice but to clean it cause that’s gross! I didn’t mind. But now, my patient (pediatric) will see poop or pee and demand I clean it. Next.. they leave their son with me. He’s in elementary. I didn’t know any better and figured if he stayed in his room I didn’t care cause it only happened a few times but now it’s way more often. He also doesn’t stay in his room.. the parents are well aware that he isn’t supposed to be home with me. IDK how to report them without the company throwing me under the bus saying I told them. I feel like it would be awkward. Then my patient is very “her way or no way” she’s active, mobile.. no issues besides her health conditions but she is constantly refusing care or throwing a fit to the point where mom will tell me to just give her space or tell her it’s okay and that she doesn’t have to do medical care. I try to handle it on my own with verbal redirection but the minute she calls mom.. mom completely contradicts what I say and basically shows that she doesn’t have to listen to me. My point is if she continues to refuse medical care then why am I here. Do you all think I should leave home health or family? She is also starting school soon.

Hello, did they ever come after you to pay back?

Hello where do you live? I have friends who have broken their contracts and not paid
