| Re: Hi to All Hi and welcome. I did peds home health for about 5 years in western KY and really liked it. I've been in L&D for the last 6 years this is where I'll stay now. I did hospital peds before the HH and liked it too. I've also taught OB/Peds clinicals but not doing that this semester. I will teach some professional nursing lectures this semester for a transistion class.

| Re: Hi to All hi and welcome! I'm a peds nurse too. I would love to do home health, but we don't even have that in my area as far as I know. The Home health agencies do all ages, not just peds. I bet your job is a lot of fun. Do you do hospice too?

| Re: Hi to All Actually this is my first time visiting. I've been looking for nursing chat rooms to keep me busy on those boring 3rd shift nites. To answer Michelle's question, I have done some hospice, not with peds pts. It's not my cup of tea. It's not the dying part that bothers me. It is how relaxed they are with the way they do things. I guess I'm just too by the book and if a pain patch says q 3 hrs and hospice says q 1-2 hrs(they are doing to die anyway is what I'm told), then I have a problem. I agree whole heartedly with keeping them comfortable and all but I also feel I need to follow drs orders. So I only take those cases if they truely can't find anyone else. I love the kids I care for alot. They keep me young. I have 2 right now that keep me busy. I go from watching Dora the Explorer and the Backyardigans to 8th grade. No wonder my kids are ready to put me in a padded room. Anyway, great to be on and look forward in talking with you all soon. |
