FEATURE STORY


Feature
Who's the Boss?

It could be you -- with franchising 

Healthcare Professional Digest speaks with
Interim HealthCare franchisee Robert Seawright  

"I wish I could get further ahead in my career." "I don't want people to tell
me what to do anymore." "If I only had the chance, I'd be a great boss."

If you're like most people, you've probably made at least one of these statements at some point in your life. And you might have thought there was nothing you could do about the way you felt.

EDITORIAL CORNER


Being your own boss ... Helping a client stay home ... Too much perfume!

Hello. I'm Linda Shaub, Interim HealthCare's vice president of marketing.

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business -- but wondered what kind of business and how to get started? A franchise may be what you're looking for. In this month's feature article, Robert Seawright, an Interim HealthCare franchise owner, discusses franchising and shares his firsthand experience on becoming "the boss."

Recently, an RN asked what to do about a client who may be put into a nursing home. She believes
his recent cognitive changes may be medication-related. See what your peers advise. Some clients
are allergic to perfume or aftershave. What would you do about a co-worker who has a heavy
finger on the atomizer -- if you feared for a client's health? A reader wants to know.

If you have a dilemma of your own or any input you'd like to share, please contact us. With your help, we can make our newsletter even better and more relevant for you.

This Issue's Dilemma
This Issue's Dilemma:

I like Chanel, but not that much

I have a coworker who wears a great deal of cologne. Why do I care? A client of mine just had to be rushed to the hospital after standing next to an "over-scented" woman in an elevator -- for less than two minutes! Should I speak to my coworker or supervisor? Or just hope none of my coworker's clients have an allergy to perfume or cologne? -- Juanita, RN

Previous Issue's Dilemma:

Last Issue's Dilemma
My client isn't "losing it," but I think I might be
 

I have an elderly client who's had no cognitive problems -- until recently. I believe his failing memory may be due to new medications his physician prescribed, but the doctor refuses to talk to me about it. Should I try to speak with him again? Give my opinion to the family? Speak to my supervisor? The family is considering putting this poor man into a nursing home, and I don't think he needs to go. -- Anita, RN
