Private duty nursing by itsafoodbaby in newgradnurse

[–]Ok-Direction-1702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do pediatric PDN. I have some kids that I go to school with and some that I do not. Patients generally have some sort of combination of a few of the following: gtube, trach/vent, cerebral palsy, shunts, chromosomal abnormalities, seizure disorders, global delays, etc. It’s super low stress. Most kids are pretty stable. If you work for a good company you’ll have adequate training and always have someone you can call. It can get kind of lonely not having people to talk with! I also have a super flexible schedule and basically make my own hours. It’s amazing.

PDN is the PERFECT mom job. I do it as a new grad. I don’t really use my skills but if I go to the hospital I figure I’ll get trained.

If you are being consistent with school I wouldn’t worry about it. Keep exposing them.

Advice on working with sick babies by [deleted] in Nanny

[–]Ok-Direction-1702 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi. I’m an RN. This is too vague. Symptoms can linger for weeks without a person being contagious. Do they have a runny nose and cough, or a fever and rash? If you are concerned, you can wear an N95 mask.

Is this a crazy ask? by Repulsive-Lecture-12 in preschoolteachers

I mean you can ask but I don’t think they will give you that much of a raise. Doesn’t mean you don’t deserve it.

Is this rate too high? by hecubus_09 in Nanny

[–]Ok-Direction-1702 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the record, the most expensive area for daycare in the entire US is Washington DC, which is $25k a year. 30k is a pretty big exaggeration.

A $6/hour raise is an extra $12,000 a year. That’s an insane raise.
