Working with a nurse's favorite aide.

   Last night 10pm-6 am shift, September 22, 2017. I was suppose to work with Mrs. C but instead Miss J asked Mrs. C to trade places with her so she could work the Unit. I think that the nurse's in charge should put their foot down and tell Miss J. That the work assignments will remain the way it is unless East or west is short.

Dealing with Arthritis pain

My hands have arthritis on a scale of one to ten, the pain I experience from it is a five at times but at most of the time the pain I am experiencing is a one. I need to talk to the doctor about what type of stuff I can do to help manage the pain I am experiencing. I have a doctor appointment on the 8th of September, for my arthritis pain. Well, I have a doctor appointment for my arthritis. I did as the pharmacist if there was anything that I could use on my hands to help alleviate the pain. She pointed out a over the counter ointment I could use, the name of it is Aspercreme.  This medication does work to keep the pain under control while I am working. I work as a nurse's aide, on the night shift.  Cold weather makes my arthritis flair up.
