MY DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK

Dear Cassandra, Why is American Home Health so hung up on little things like clinical notes? Almost every week someone from the office contacts me about my clinical notes.

1 RINGY DINGY, 2 RINGY DINGY – Nursing Talk

I excelled in math and science and took algebra, calculus, geometry, and even Fortran (a computer programming language). My career goal was business.

UP A CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE – Nursing Talk

Dear Cassandra, The Client Service Coordinator told me I cannot work because my CPR card has expired. The local hospital won’t be offering a class for a month. The fire department just had a class, but I missed it. I know how to do CPR. What’s the big deal? The same thing happened when my […]

MULES, CROCS, AND COWBOY BOOTS – Nursing Talk

Dear Cassandra: My husband says I should wear “sensible” shoes to work. My shoe collection could rival that of Imelda Marcos. I have three inch stiletto heels, platform shoes, sandals, wedges, mules, ballerina slippers, flip flops, Crocs, flats, cowboy boots, and more. When I was a teenager, I considered becoming a Dominican nun. My teacher, […]
