N.B. THE NOTES IN BLUE ARE MADE BY ME.
The district nurse (sometimes known as a community nurse) is a key person in the care of someone who is ill at home. They can visit regularly to give a range of nursing care, including giving drugs and injections, changing dressings, and giving advice on bowel problems and incontinence. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF "REGULARLY".........OUR LAST VISIT WAS 29TH JUNE 2006
The district nurse can also arrange for special equipment to be delivered, such as a commode, a special mattress, bedpans, or a hoist or sling. They can show you how to do everyday nursing tasks such as washing, lifting and personal care. ONLY THING I WAS SHOWN HOW TO USE WAS THE HOIST......WITHOUT MICK IN IT!...I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ONE PERSON TO USE IT ON THEIR OWN
The hospital should let the district nurse know that the person you are caring for is coming home, or the GP may arrange for them to visit. THIS TOOK TWO MONTHS
The first home visit you have will be from a district nurse who has overall responsibility for the nursing help you are given. They will discuss with you what care will be provided. After that, regular visits will be made by the district nurse. Usually, you will see the same one or two nurses. CANNOT THINK OF ANY CARE THEY PROVIDED......A NURSE CAME ONCE TO PUT A DRESSING ON MICK'S CHEST AND COULDN'T WORK OUT HOW TO DO IT
District nurses can visit up to three times a day: morning, afternoon and twilight, although this may vary depending on the services available in your area. Some areas also have night staff. Sometimes a nursing auxiliary will help the district nurse with things like bathing and washing.
WONDER WHO'S GETTING OUR SHARE!
I THINK THAT NOW THEY WOULD BE MORE OF A HINDERANCE THAN A HELP ANYWAY!

Lastly, you should know that the online therapist finder is really appropriate.
Indeed, the best schools produce the best physical therapists in the country, so it is every
aspiring therapist. The treatments and care an RT provides to these patients would
be drug and oxygen administration to the lungs which may also call for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
