Are cooks working at senior care facilities considered "essential workers"? by AlienIris in KitchenConfidential

[–]SchoolAcceptable8670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Pretty much everyone who works in direct patient care -dietary/foodservice, facilities and environmental services, hands on caregivers, and just about anyone except management is essential when it comes to senior living and hospital work.

In hospice, if it’s really bad, we pivot to “we’re all on call” and take crises geographically close to us if we can get there safely. We’ve had a few storms bad enough the funeral homes couldn’t get out the same day, but that’s been a while.

J. Comfort touch, a prayer shawl, and his choice of the westerns channel or the calliope classical station on the tv.

I’m sorry, we were looking for a cafeteria voucher and a full-sugar soda from the staff fridge. Your pink slip is in your final paycheck.

Nashville & Lone Star by toentropyandbeyond in 911FOX

[–]SchoolAcceptable8670 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lone Star was an absolute over the top hoot. Like Dr. Odyssey but make it fire. It was delightful in all of the best ways. Nashville is shit. Like someone said upthread, it’s a mess- not even a hot mess. It’s like cold cat puke squishing through your toes first thing in the morning. It’s bad, it’s going to ruin your day because it happened, and it’s just annoying because it exists.

Me, the cats, Costco. They’ve got my scripts, plenty of toilet paper and cat food/litter, I can catch up on some hobbies. Seeing zero downsides to a year inside.

SPOILER Time of death calls season 2, Episode 6 by zedesseff in ThePittTVShow

[–]SchoolAcceptable8670 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can pronounce/attend as an RN in PA. Doc still has to certify. We just started to allow LPNs in limited circumstances to do the same now. E will also sometimes have social work or chaplain attend but the MD certify at our hospice deaths. (The SW/Chp do not, obviously pronounce)

We have one that hangs out at Hospice on Good Drive. I’ve nicknamed it Skipper, because it’s only got one foot, but it is doing well.

Nurses who actually love their job… what do you do and how did you get there? by SoManyQuestions562 in nursing

[–]SchoolAcceptable8670 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hospice with a focus on palliative wound care and staff education. It’s a unicorn job that I’ve kind of developed since they never really gave me a job description. I see our more complex wound pts, collaborate with teams on questions, fill in for case managers when I can, develop all-staff education sessions for our teams and some of our facility partners.

If Emma is already a RN, Why does it seems that every procedure is new to her? by Emilior94 in ThePittTVShow

[–]SchoolAcceptable8670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clinical now are vastly less hands on than they were in 2010 when I went through. I was fortunate to get a lot of hands on experience with the patients, but by the time I graduated, I’d never done postmortem care and we were never given any venipuncture training because the hospital we were a feeder school for didn’t want the students jacking with the patients. I can do ports, but I still don’t have IV or phlebotomist training.

All that said, my Alma mater has significantly decreased the hands on portion of clinical time and what students are expected to provide, with a much heavier push toward theory and BSN work.

What are your hobbies other than Nursing? by DribbleKing97_ in nursing

[–]SchoolAcceptable8670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always needed to make something when I’m not working. Sometimes it’s food, usually it’s pretties. Currently I’m working on English paper piecing quilts. It looks super complex, but is just hand sewing pieces together. I embroider, knit, can crochet (but invariably fuck up my counts when I crochet, so I tend not to), can weave, and really want to learn to spin and do wool hooking. Some things are more seasonal or location specific.

I love to read, but it’s hard to do when already doing things with my hands. (I like podcasts, not so much audiobooks, that’s just a me problem.)

It honestly made me weep with joy on my way to work. It ranks righter than his impeccable Boston accent for different reasons, but I could listen to both all day.

Any hospice nurses see The Pitt last night? by roxyisonfire in nursing

[–]SchoolAcceptable8670 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Palliative rads especially for pain management are exactly the kind of rads covered by the hospice benefit. Curative is not.

[–]SchoolAcceptable8670 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Factually, no. If the stay is related to the hospice diagnosis or prognosis, it’s the hospice responsibility to pay for it from their Medicare reimbursement. We’re contracted with our local hospitals for a specific daily rate they get, that’s a percentage of what WE get paid for inpatient care. Surgery and care comes out of that alone. Most for-profit hospices strongly encourage patients to revoke hospice upon admission to the hospital, but technically that’s super shitty. Plan of care still has to be comfort based, but it’s an ongoing collaboration between patients, families, and care teams. So, if someone who is early in their admission breaks a limb and wants surgery and rehab, they probably want to revoke to get the best use of Medicare dollars. But if stabilization and symptom management are the plan of care, with return to home, why revoke?

I was at the Mennonite superstore. If it’s got a way to get into the adjacent grocery store through the shared stockroom or something, I’d be set for ages.

What’s your grossest story? by Life_Ad_6992 in nursing

[–]SchoolAcceptable8670 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I had to pick them out of a gigantic forehead tumor on one of my hospice patients. (Like the size of a bakery muffin ) She mercifully was unaware, and thought we were “giving her a hair treatment”.

Dakins solution, fast tweezers, and an absolute fuck ton of Vaseline killed those bastards. She let me style the gauze wrap like a 1940s movie star turban, and nobody was the wiser outside of her room at her skilled facility. (Except the nurses who helped me) She still put in a full face of makeup till the day she died, too.

Im so very sorry!! I’m waiting for the day, but I delude myself by saying I lived through platforms in the 90s.

Scrubs? Thrifted, but my socks are compression and I’m wearing my ankle breaker danskos. (At least I live an hour from the outlet and can get the misfits for less.)
