We had no set tea breaks, smoke breaks, and lunch breaks were done in shifts (cos of the nature of the work). We had a general team meeting and it was decided that we smokers would take smoke breaks and/or tea breaks, when we could. The non-smokers in return, were allowed to take extra tea breaks (or whatever they wanted do in 10 minutes) whenever they could, to balance it out. It worked very well and the non-smokers were quite happy with the arrangement. We all covered for eachother no matter who was taking a break and we all had the same amount of breaks. Fair is fair.

What hurts is putting 40 people to bed by myself because there is no one to help me that night. Or doing post mortems on 3 people in one night. Or watching a woman bleed out rectally because her family has decided to let her go and not send her to the hospital. And then have to hear bullshit from a lousy bottomfeeder like you about how trashy and unqualified I am. Honey, you better pray that when you need a nursing home, you end up with someone as unqualified and trashy as me. There aren't many people in this world who will change your diaper, spoon feed you, dress you, and give you a complete bed bath while smiling and treating you with the courtesy and respect any human deserves, even offal like yourself.

Lynne, it was personnel such as yourself who made my father's passing in a hospice less of a misery than it could have been. I thanked the employees at the time who had my father's care (and a whomping big batch of homemade beignets), but for all those for whom you have cared and not been thanked, I can only pass on what my mother used to say: it's another star in your crown.

Just curious - if you are accomplished enough to manage your own business, then why don't you apply those same skills to the more social aspects. Why do you find it necessary to bulldoze rudely into what is probably the nicest and overall more intelligent groups in Usenet? You might find that people would get along with you quite nicely. And you might actually enjoy yourself.

Are you talking about people who are misrepresenting their knowledge of cooking, or of social and political issues? If it's the latter, why not fire up your killfiles and only read about cooking? I'm willing to bet there are newsgroups concerning non-cooking issues if you're really interested in those. (I have a lot of filters in place that prevent most religious, political, and racially-based threads from reaching my eyes. Works wonders!)

Look, GQ, I'm not questioning your abilities - and you can be proud that you've done well. But if you don't have time to play around, then why did you burst through the door like Hyacinth Bucket (Boo-kay), look down your nose and, BTW, still continue "playing around" hours later?

IMHO nursing staff fall under the category "overworked, underpaid and unappreciated". I have only been in hospital 3 times, once for an appendix op and twice for the birth of my kids. Even on those few occasions I have watched how hard you guys work. It must be 10 times more work with more serious cases. It takes dedication and caring to be a nurse. You don't have to defend that. Keep up the good work. And thanks to you all. Cheers Cathy -- I don't suffer from insanity - I enjoy every minute of it |

I am in the middle of hunting down the ones I have on VHS to transfer to DVD and so far I have 27 of them. What's strange is that even though I have found a number of sites with info enough to determine which season/show it is, no one seems to agree on each episode's title. In fact, I'm not sure they ever actually had titles. Happen to know any info? -- The Doc says my brain waves closely match those of a crazed ferret. At least now I have an excuse. |

It figures. Once again showing your ignorance, dear. Many, many nursing homes also offer hospice care. We also offer rehab quite often. You'd be amazed at what you obviously don't know about nursing homes. Lynne A |

Hospice is especially difficult, but I think it was one of the most rewarding things I ever did. I consider it an honor to be allowed to help people finish there time here on earth with as much comfort and dignity as possible. As far as the source, I know, I know, but it's really a hot button for me-someone so obviously superiour to me should have some idea what a hard job it is, you'd think! Ahh, well-I just have to remember that there really are not that many people who look down their noses at aides. And damned few once it's them or their family member in care! Lynne A |

I go back to work this fall, and I'm really looking forward to doing the work again (but NOT to dealing with the BS Admin always comes up with<G>) Lynne A |

Probably would be for the best, under the circumstances. It's really hard to smile and take care of someone so nasty-I've done it, but it's not easy. At least you'd probably only run your mouth-beats getting kicked and spit on any day. Lynne A |

And more and more true every year, with the worst coming up in the next decade or so, as all the baby boomers reach that age. We're gonna need at least 3x the nursing homes we have now to care for everyone who needs it-her odds ain't good<G> Lynne A |

We all like to be appreciated for sure. Re the paperwork, that's a resounding yes!LMAO There's also this nasty habit Admin has of promising you the moon while you work your 10th straight shift in a row, and then conveniently forgetting once they are fully staffed<SIGH> Lynne A |

I was living with my grandmother during her last days. The level of compassion my grandmother and family received was nothing short of amazing. From the after-hours staff to our RN everyone was supportive, caring, knowledgeable, and understanding. The aides were in a category of their own. I do not have the words to express my gratitude to those wonderful women who took care of my grandmother's everyday needs. Not only did they tend to my grandmother, they also helped me beyond measure. Thanks to hospice care my beloved grandmother was able to end her time here on earth in the home she lived in for over 50 years, in the same bed she shared with my grandfather, surrounded by her children and grandchildren. It is a priceless gift that could not have been possible without the fine people from the hospice. Thank you for everything you do from my family and every family who is blessed to have someone as compassionate as you to help them through such a difficult time. Kelly |
