Feeling like a servant - page 6
Do you guys ever feel like the families and sometimes patients treat you like u are the waitress? Or like they are ur only patient? It really irritated me today.... Read More
1Jan 1, '13 by momto5furbabiesI'm an STNA, on a waiting list for 3 Nursing Schools. I'm a server, a personal assistant, "my helper", "my girl".
I work on the rehab floor. MANY days MOST of my residents DO NOT want to rehab.
my one lady today for example.. "why do i need to go to P.T.? i know how to walk. all i did was fall and break my hip, and they behave like i never walked in my life".
She is now mad at me, because i made her wash herself.. everything she could reach.
I am the meanest person in the world.
its ok, I've been called worse.teeniebert likes this. -
0Jan 1, '13 by GraphycCatQuote from nurseywifeymommy1I do home health care for pediatric patients who are trached and often vent dependent. Not only am I expected to take care of my patient... the parents usually think I'm a built in babysitter for their other kids as well. I can't let the siblings be neglected and the parent has usually disappeared so I end up getting their meals, drinks, etc., changing diapers and dealing with their temper tantrums. I just try to remember that they need care too and try not to be bitter about it.Do you guys ever feel like the families and sometimes patients treat you like u are the waitress? Or like they are ur only patient? It really irritated me today.Last edit by GraphycCat on Jan 1, '13

2Jan 1, '13 by MijourneyI did home health at one point and you have to make it clear each and every time you visit what your priorities are.
When I admitted patients to home health, I informed them that the patient is still the family's responsibility 24/7. It is not the responsibility for the home health agency to take over patient care. We visit to help families complete transition into taking care of the patient appropriately. When families start expecting more from us, that takes away from our other patients we have to see. And it increases their dependency on us making discharge difficult. We need to either tell them the limitations of our services or have a superior tell them because their expectations are not realistic.carolinapooh and Heinz beans like this. -
0Jan 1, '13 by ms-feelgoodGetting treated like a personal maid is constant in my job... the families are worse than the patients.
It's really just laughable after a certain point. A patient's daughter rings the call bell... "sorry, can you bring my mother a glass of water?" ... while there's two empty glasses on the patient's table and the bathroom with perfectly drinkable tap water is 2 steps away. Same person asked if one of us could possibly stay by her mother's side and keep her company, at all times. Sure, if you pay well! -
0Jan 1, '13 by lucy2811Quote from That GuyThis is unrelated to your post but I just saw your picture and had to say...Chive On!Me to Pt: Anything else I can get for you before I leave
Pt gf who is not sick at all: I need a sprite
Me: Vending machines are in the hall
The look on her face was like I killed her puppy. If you are not the pt, you rarely get anything from me. The cafeteria is open til midnight and the vending machine is 24/7 -
0Jan 2, '13 by rnfostermomAs much as I like my job, I admit to sometimes thinking this. I honestly don't mind doing things for my patients. It's usually the families that tick me off the most. Some of them have this attitude that they must protect their family member from us and are very hostile and take everything the wrong way and pick you apart. Others can be nice but out at the desk every 10 minutes asking for something else. I work in an ICU and sometimes I feel like all I am doing is delivering supplies to the room, changing bags/lines/labels/linens, etc. or doing oral cares/suctioning/turns/pericares for 12 straight hours. Particularly annoying, however, is when family members of my patients ask me to do something trivial (i.e., "My mom needs some vaseline on her lips, can you do that?" or "Could you get me a warm blanket?") when I am obviously right in the middle of programming a drip on a pump to give their mom a drug that could kill her if I get distracted and do it incorrectly. Really, nurses get distracted from doing their work more than any job that really requires focus than I can think of!! This is probably one of the top 5 reasons why I'm a die hard night nurse and always will be until I tip over or can afford to retire, whichever comes first.
0Jun 6, '13 by SkaydaQuote from Lil'mamaAt this one job I had, it was written in our "job duties", to "provide refreshments such as a glass of ice water or juice to visiting family members," and we would be reprimanded if we forgot to ask if they'd like anything while they visited their relatives/loved ones in the facility.Well many people feel we are maids and servers that also happen to dispense medications.
My pet peeve is family that brings in outside food yet expects us to furnish drinks. -
2Jun 7, '13 by Wheels28Quote from SkaydaWhy are Nurses and CNA's responsible for providing refreshments to family members?, if they are well enough to be a visitor then they should get it themselves. I'm disabled and in a wheelchair I wouldn't ask a nurse to get me food or drinks, I would get it myself. They are too busy trying provide care and I have so much respect for nurses and CNA's to not do that.At this one job I had, it was written in our "job duties", to "provide refreshments such as a glass of ice water or juice to visiting family members," and we would be reprimanded if we forgot to ask if they'd like anything while they visited their relatives/loved ones in the facility.Skayda and carolinapooh like this.

This entertaining skills lesson by Paul Ashe introduces the framework of a limerick and provides students with practice in writing their own limericks.
Target age: Teenagers and above
Time needed: 40 minutes
Materials: One copy of the worksheet per student
Readers' comments (5)
Have to admit I agree with all of the above.I was looking forward to
some interesting lesson material but this is way below the standard
I have come to expect on this site. The author just doesn't seem to have a clue about what ingredients are necessary to make up a good limerick so the excercise seems pointless.Sorry but the sample limerick would be an unhelpful resource for teaching the rhythm as it doesn't scan without unreasonable force and forces stress on the wrong words
Absolutely dreadful Limericks. The lines do not scan and the rhymes are forced. Take them away and drown them in the Shannon!
There once was a teacher named Ashe
Who thought he might write to make cash
But his Limericks were bad
So he drove people mad
As his words ended up in a mash.These are hardly Limericks at all - wrong rhythm, poor rhymes and far from funny. Try harder!

Caesarean section is a common abdominal operation for surgical delivery of a baby and the placenta. Techniques vary depending on the clinical situation and surgeon preferences. Safe delivery is important for mother and infant. Any potential reduction of birth trauma to the infant has to be balanced against increased ill-health for the mother. Factors include not only the duration of the surgical procedure and maternal blood loss but also maternal postoperative pain, continuing blood loss and development of anaemia, fever and wound infection. Additional complications can include problems with breastfeeding, passing urine, longer-term fertility problems, and complications in future pregnancies (uterine rupture) or increased risks associated with future surgery.
The review authors searched the medical literature for randomised controlled trials to inform the most appropriate surgical techniques to use. Twenty-seven trials involving 17,808 women from a number of different countries contributed to the review. None of these trials assessed the type of uterine incision (side to side (transverse) lower uterine segment incision versus other types of uterine incision). Results from 18 randomised trials contributed to reports that single layer closure of the uterine incision was associated with a reduction in blood loss, and duration of the procedure. In these studies the surgical procedure for entering the abdominal cavity also differed and could have contributed to blood loss and duration of surgery.
Five trials compared blunt with sharp dissection at the time of the uterine incision (2141 women) and a further two trials auto-suture devices with standard hysterotomy (300 women). Blunt surgery was associated with a reduction in mean blood loss at the time of the procedure. The use of an auto-suture instrument did not clearly reduce procedural blood loss but increased the duration of the procedure. Overall, trials focused on blood loss and duration of the operative procedure rather than clinical outcomes for the women. The methodological quality of the trials was variable.

Patch 4.3: Hour of Twilight trailer {WoW}
Nov 29th 2011 3:14AM Hmmm, not as story driven as the last two patches. Rise of the Zandalari was a close, even intimate look at a troll campfire council. Rage of the Firelands was also intimate, but grew to epic proportions as we saw Orgrimmar burst into flames. Nevertheless, 4.1 and 4.2 both had a feeling of narration, whereas 4.3 seems to be just a trailer made up of movie captures.
The Queue: Bad movie night {WoW}
Nov 28th 2011 11:58AM On the subject of new classes:
I think there's plenty of room for new classes, since they seem to be expansion specific. BC brought balance to the forces of the Alliance and Horde by giving each new race a class that hadn't been available to the faction yet. WotLK brought the 'hero' class of Death Knight to 'life.' Even Cata spread the love, allowing more races more access to existing classes by breaking down barriers, be they cultural in the case of the dwarves, or philosophical in the case of the trolls and tauren. Pandaria follows the tradition by including a new race AND class to all but the newer races.
The set-up:
There was so much lead in for what I was convinced was the new class and expansion to hit WoW's proverbial shores: the Demon Hunter in a Burning Legion expansion.
The lead-in:
We found training materials on being demon hunters in the Maw of the Void in Darkshore. We brought a demon hunter back to life simply to have him serve as a living prison for a demon in the Blasted Lands. You release a demon into the world despite the best efforts of her former lover in Feralas, and then loose yet another in saving Mount Hyjal from the flames. We even go back in time to when Illidan first acts as a demon hunter and see him in action against the Legion. I know I'm missing some things.
The queued question:
With so much lead in, how could they NOT follow through with a demonic invasion? I mean, Pandas are great and all, but lore-wise they kinda came out of left field.

I really want to use ganache as I rely on this to get my edges really sharp, however, the person I'm making the cake for requested butter cream, only problem is I absolutely hate working with butter cream, as have had no luck with it on my cakes which are covered in fondant.
Sooooo, I was wondering whether it's possible to fill cake with butter cream and then go round with a thin layer of ganache (white chocolate) to set up nice and firm for me to apply the fondant?
I have looked as SMBC but when watching tutorials it seems so soft to work with as opposed to ganache. So anybody tried this method :)

Nina Ricci's Fall 2009 collection, which was helmed by designer Olivier Theyskens, had a little bit of everything. For example, there were a lot of really exquisite dresses with cinched waists and bulky shoulders, colorful throwback garments, lots and lots of glitter, and even some minor fetishism.
However, what caught my attention about this collection was the array of ridiculous and horrific heelless shoes that some of us have come to know and hate. New York Magazine had this to say:
"Take a look at the heel-less, stilt-like shoes at Nina Ricci. Fabulously creative, right? The sky-high height combines platform and stilettos, adding about eleven inches to the already leggy models. And the careful detailing makes them even more distinctive (not that the shoes need it) — some feature laces, buckles, rhinestones, and satin. From what we can tell, not one model fell, which proves the theory that heel-less shoes are easy to walk in. Now that's the power of platforms. And gravity."

East Valley parents say new bridge in school zone is dangerous
Drivers complain the high arch makes it hard to see who's on the other side.
Yakima County just finished building the bridge.
Action News kept you up-to-date all summer on the traffic changes.
Now parents worry those changes might be dangerous.
"When we pull out of the parking lot to go over the bridge you can not see oncoming traffic. You end up pulling out in front of somebody before you see them coming," said a concerned mother.
The county told us the low speed limit allows drivers to safely cross the bridge, despite the arch.
They say perfect visibility is almost impossible on any road. However, they will listen to any concerns or complaints drivers have about the issue.

Clarke slams Popov for spit
Comment on this storyLondon - West Bromwich Albion defender Goran Popov felt the full force of coach Steve Clarke's ire after his red card for spitting early in the second half helped Tottenham Hotspur seal a 1-0 away win on Sunday.
The Macedonian clearly spat at Kyle Walker in full vision of the referee and Spurs went on to win the Premier League clash through Gareth Bale's superb 67th-minute strike.
"My reaction is that I'm absolutely disgusted with his behaviour. It's not possible that our players can put so much in to the game and one of the group lets them down," Clarke told Sky as he vowed the club would deal with Popov internally.
"One of our players has let the rest of them down today and we've paid a heavy price. We've lost a game that I think we would have got something from. Goran knows that he was wrong." - Reuters

1. It's important that I find a good one
2. I'm not an expert enough to know myself who is a good one
3. The industry is full of advertisements and misinformation
4. I wish I knew what experiences other people have had
You have to put your self in the shoes of a business that is in business to turn a profit of some sort. All businesses have different overhead which in turn decides what their bottom line would be on their services. I personally would not go with an unlicensed professional for this type of install. You are messing with gas, venting issues, electrical wiring{electric water heater} and updated code issues such as a drain pan and tempature and relief drain lines for heaters that currently do not have them. I do agree that there are some companies that are way out of line for their installs but most of these companies are the really big companies that have very high overheads I would assume. Tank type water heaters have changed over the last several years and with these safety changes come bigger prices. The price of steel thanks to China is skyrocketing and tank type water heaters are made of steel. Most wholesale plumbing supply companies cannot match what the big box stores are selling at retail to consumers. I happen to think from research that heaters such as Rheem, Bradford White and AOSmith who have been in business forever make a better product than what you can buy in the big box outlets. You also have to take in consideration the location of the water heater that is being replaced. Is it in the house, basement, garage or attic. Most 40 and 50 gallon water heaters that are purchased in a plumbing wholesale store in Texas cost between 300-340 for a 6 year warranty heater with 6 year on parts and tank. Speaking of warranty. Most big box companies will take a least 24 hours to a week to get your warranty problem taken care of. Most reputable plumbing companies will give same day service if they installed the heater.
So lets break down a typical install at cost to a licensed plumber in Texas
Heater: $315, water shut off $6.50, water flex lines or unions to code $20, gas flex line and cut off to code $12, misc fittings $15, Total $368.50 Lets add a 35% profit which is some what low for a business $129, Total 497.50
This doesnt include permits, pan and drain or any venting issues. The vent must go from the heater to the outside of roof using double wall vent.
Cost of permit on average $60
Most plumbing companies allow for 3 hours of time for a water heater. This includes picking the new one up. Delivering out to house. Draining and removing old water heater. Hauling off old heater. Installing new heater up to code. Going down to city and pulling permit.
Average Labor charges for heater installs $400
That would make this install run without extras on any code issues $957.50
I just had a 50 gallon gas water heater installed in my house for $1200 but I needed a pan installed. I used a licensed plumber.
That's very difficult to answer without seeing the house. As one poster said, the prep is the most important part. On newer homes that don't have a lot of peeling paint, the prep can be very minimal even as low as a couple or a few hundred dollars for the prep labor.
On a 100 year old home with 12 coats of peeling paint on it, then the prep costs can be very high and can easily exceed 50% of the job's labor cost.
A 2100 sq ft two story home could easily cost $1000 just for the labor to prep for the paint job. That number could climb too. Throw in lots of caullking or window glazing, and you could be talking a couple or a few hundred dollars more for labor.
Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor. Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor.
For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint. The manufacturer of the paint should be specified in any painting contract. Otherwise, the contractor could bid at a Sherwin-Williams $60 per gallon paint and then paint the house with $35 Valspar and pocket the difference. $25 dollars per gallon times 20 gallons? That's a pretty penny too.
That was the long answer to your question. The short answer is $2000 to $4000 and up, depending upon the amount of prep, the number of coats, the amount of trim, and the paint used.
An itemized list / cost breakdown, more often than not is used against the contractor when it is shared with other builders who will then beat it.
Good contractors use good people, and good people cost more. Just the cost of having the appropriate insurance / bond can be the difference between winning a job or losing it ot a 'lower bid'.
It is the rule of three; there is Good, Cheap and Fast. You can have any two: Good and Cheap, won't be Fast; Good and Fast, won't be Cheap; Cheap and Fast, won't be Good!
When comparing bids, it isn't the cheapest or the 'nicest' person you should select. You should understand why there is a large price difference (it shows there are gaps in your design program or what you have asked for specifically, which means there may be arguments later). If most of the bids are in line, and one is way high or way low, you want to know why before dismissing or selecting them.
A price-only decision almost always costs more in the long run.
Good luck!
Home Security System reviews in Gardendale
The install tech came, tested the system and replaced batteries. He did not have any manual for me. I called the owner about the price discrepancy and he was again very responsive and adjusted the contract, immediately having the secretary send me a new contract.
They seem like a sound company. I am happy with the service now. The owner might just benefit from an "Undercover" check on his employees. They all seem like lovely, top quality people, just a bit too comfortable and forget their job is to help customers.
The company with whom they subcontracted the monitoring allowed their license to expire in Colorado Springs. Thus, I was paying for the illusion of a monitored alarm, or more accurately, an alarm that was monitored for no reason, as the police refused to respond when called by the monitor due to the monitoring company's license having expired. If I hadn't needed the police to respond and had them refuse, I would have never known. Caveat Emptor. For this reason, I switched monitoring companies.
I purchased outright from the panel as well as the installation, and fulfilled a term contract for monitoring of the system. Without my knowledge or consent, changed a dealer/installer code in my panel from the factory default to their own code in order to lock down my system. There is no way to reset this code to the factory default without the new code -- you must have the code they changed it to or you are shafted. This week, I needed to alter my panel, so I tried using the factory default installer/dealer code and discovered what had been done. I called ( ), who confirmed that such is their company policy, and they want $98.50 to return control of my panel to me. This is identical to the cellular providers locking their phones to their network and then refusing to unlock them when you pay off the phone -- a practice that is now illegal. I don't know if this practice is legal for the alarm industry, especially since they did not subsidize my panel in any way, but I feel that it is unethical.
I will say that the employees at are friendly, and the company is probably in the top 20% of alarm providers, in spite of my two very substantial problems with them. The industry as a whole has some shady practices, and is not always competent, so Alarm looks good only in comparison. I'm dissatisfied with them, but would likely be more dissatisfied with many of their competitors.
I've had the system for almost 2 yrs. now and it work great, they have responded immediately on every time the alarm has gone off accidentally.
The app is great and it's you control other devices (HAVC, Lights, outlets)
Im very happy with the service and the ease of use.

Per-capita consumption of potatoes fell 4 percent from 2008 levels, totalling 113.1 pounds on a fresh-weight basis. Much of the decrease was attributed to the recession and a softened demand from foodservice.
The acreage and production of fall storage onions dipped, prompting strong prices for much of the season. In fact, the shipping-point price for all fresh-market onions was up 77 percent from a year earlier.
These are just a few of the commodities highlighted in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Oct. 28 "Vegetables and Melons Outlook."

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will hold a hearing Jan. 28 on President Barack Obama's pick of retiring Sen. Max Baucus to serve as ambassador to China.
The six-term Democratic senator is expected to sail toward confirmation by his colleagues. If confirmed, Baucus would replace Gary Locke, who has announced plans to leave the diplomatic post.
Baucus has served in the Senate for more than two decades. Obama announced the nomination last year.
Baucus decided not to seek re-election to another term. Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock of Montana will get to name a replacement.

Americans have a penchant if not an obsession for shopping. Two-thirds of the nation's Gross Domestic Product is attributed to retail activity.
The retail venues come in various forms, from strip malls to big box outlets to on-line sites. But for most communities, the economic engines are the big shopping Mecca's – malls.
The problem is what happens when those engines sputter and near the end of their retail life? At that point they change from community asset to liability, threatening to spread blight. The circumstance is common to Iowa cities.
Along many major thoroughfares, it is not an uncommon site to see an empty, even boarded up, building of a once grand shopping mall. "For sale" signs – and anxious city officials -- await a developer to step forward and rehab a mall before it falls victim to a wrecking ball.
In Bettendorf, one of Iowa's oldest malls – built in the 1960s -- was demolished in 2003. Duck Creek Mall had lost its anchor stores, and the life that once was, no longer existed.
Decker Ploehn/Bettendorf City Administrator: "I don't think any community wants to have blight occurring in their community. They want to redevelop those properties, use existing buildings, knock them down, whatever they can do to make something new happen."
The city of Bettendorf stepped in after a developer requested help to renovate the property.
The help came in the form of Tax Increment Financing or TIF. The TIF deal froze the old value of the property before any renovations were made. Any value increase was given back to the developers in the form of a tax rebate. In the last decade, the property value more than tripled as several new stores, including Home Depot, and Schnuck's grocery store moved in.
The grocery store was a deal maker as the city wanted to see that side of town bounce back.
The new Duck Creek, converted from an enclosed mall to a strip-style mall, has nearly every store front full. Property across the street is also ready to redevelop.
While Bettendorf used TIF money for retail development in this case, the City prefers to use TIF for industrial and commercial ventures with a better return on the investment.
Decker: "It affects your debt margin, if you're going to issue debt up front. What we would like to do now, kind of from experience, I want to issue the debt for ourselves, the sewer, the street, infrastructure that's going to benefit us. Then let the developer generate the actual tax amount that they said they were going to generate. If it doesn't, you just rebate what the tax is. So you don't have to calculate, you don't have to guess it, its real, but it's done on the backside. You know exactly what the revenue is and what it's going to generate. So, it's a little more succinct now than when we first started doing this."
The city did enter into a TIF agreement with the Isle of Capri Casino to expand the complex to include a new hotel, a performing arts center and a plan to move the casino floor from river boat to land.
Coral Ridge Mall, just west of Iowa City along Interstate 80, will mark its tenth anniversary this year. The mall with many large brand name stores impacted sales and number of shoppers at existing malls in nearby Iowa City – and forced the city to act or lose businesses.
Wendy Ford, Iowa City Economic Development Coordinator: "There is the element of competition, shoppers like to go where things are new and shiny and they feel like it's a clean and safe and brightly lit place, and usually the ones that are newest draw the more people. So the ones that are older think, gee, we need to spark this up a bit, so everything sort of regenerates."
The aging Sycamore Mall was sold to new owners in the last decade. Those owners went after TIF to not only update the mall but to shift focus from providing 'regional' shopping to serve more of a 'local and neighborhood' need.
The city says providing TIF was the right decision. Since the Sycamore Mall was renovated, other businesses have sprung up nearby – helping the long term economic health of the Iowa City.
Wendy Ford: "You have to spend a little money to make a little money. When you look at the long range, or a 20 year time span, for instance, the property tax revenue that come back to the community even after the rebate, are exponentially higher than the property tax revenues that come in an average or run of the mill project. So, we like to use TIF to leverage greater property tax revenues in the future."
TIF isn't the answer for every proposed mall renovation. For example, another Iowa City retail center downtown took a different approach. When the Old Capitol Mall, adjacent to the University of Iowa campus, was in decline, the entire top floor of the building was sold to the University. Nearly 700 university employees fill the office space.
At street level, retail stores still give the downtown community somewhere to shop between classes or on lunch breaks.
Old Capitol Mall now is nearly full, but it's a mixed bag for the city. The blight is gone, but not everyone is paying for the upkeep. For example, the University doesn't pay property tax.
Wendy Ford: "Anytime you can bring back vitality to that, there's a huge psychological benefit to the community."

i'm 26, i have a husband, and three kids... three and under. i love cooking for them, but the couple years, i've realized: to appreciate good food, you need to not only make it, but also grow it. since starting our family on an organic, local diet, we not only feel better, but we also appreciate the abundance god has given us! i make almost everything from scratch, and i only buy my meat, dairy and produce from local friends in the community... sometimes it's tiring, but most of the time, i enjoy getting to know my neighbours and canning with my family. most of my reviews on recipes are simple changes to make a recipe more "home made" friendly.
soups. i love soup!
mexican, italian, asian, english, you name it! i'm just a huge fan of: mushrooms, seafood, and most "slimy things you couldn't find in a regular grocery store"
