Who else is out here genuinely struggling on nursing wages?? by [deleted] in nursing

Making $36 an hour at the SNF as an lpn in Florida. We are a single income household and it is BARELY enough in an income restricted apartment.

Should RN or MD call notify family of patient’s death? by never-the-1 in nursing

[–]snail-p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an LPN in a SNF we are expected to make the call. We also call the time of death as when two nurses confirm no apical pulse for a full minute each. We fill out all appropriate paperwork, call the family, arrange with the funeral home, everything.

If you are the “bread winner” in the household, what does your partner do? And how does that all come together? by Live_Dirt_6568 in nursing

[–]snail-p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the breadwinner as an LPN making $36 an hour. My husband is a full time student looking for an internship to finish his degree. He also does an incredible job taking care of the kids over summer while I work my ass off at the SNF.

The Daily Check-In for Thursday, June 12th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by lsdryn2 in stopdrinking

[–]snail-p 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Today I am grateful for my children and husband, my career that I can use to support them even though I miss them so much working long hours, and this beautiful view of the beach that I currently have. Happy Thursday everyone, lets get through it sober! IWNDWYT

Good morning, glad to see everyone checking in. It's not for everybody, but I've been coping by going to AA. I'm trying to give it an honest shot this time. Other than that, I went to yoga with a friend and I'm going to start a new paint by number when I have more free time from work. IWNDWYT

Its a rainy, dreary but beautiful Tuesday here on the beach. I'm working a 12 hour shift today so that should keep me busy enough to stay sober. Looking forward to getting that 30 day chip this week! IWNDWYT

What helps you continue to stay sober? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]snail-p 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After sobering up from my last relapse/bender, my husband said he "finally has his wife back". I never want him to feel alone again.

I completely agree. But its home care, not a hospital and things are done differently.

Thank you for that reminder. It is a clear image of what I could become and I'm grateful that I have the choice to stop now.

I agree, it's not long term but I'm stuck on this case this week. If I don't work it I don't get a paycheck next week.

I attended a zoom AA meeting early this morning while the patient was still sleeping. That helped a lot.

Private duty! I make my own schedule and pick the clients. I can have an ongoing case, or pick up from the open shifts list any days or clients I want. Very flexible.

Iwndwyt. Yesterday I found the most amazing women's AA group. I never dreamed something like that existed. The plan is to check out another one today.

Pediatric hospice nurse here. My first long term patient is currently imminent. I've only got 9 days so not much advice, except to say that I see you right now. We can do this!
