Not quite staying in the Cape (will be in Bourne), but my wife will be away at a wedding rehearsal and I’ll have some time to myself. She doesn’t want me packing my rods. Any good, recommended rental spots? Any good shoreline or pier fishing spots? Thanks, will be getting my MA fishing license and hitting the road soon.
Hey all,
This is directed more towards RN/SW case managers/emergency department social workers.
I am in New York state. When I was in Pennsylvania in a rural hospital (less of a homeless population, less high utilizers), social admits for placement were so commonplace, that we'd give the option of adult children of parents in long term care at skilled nursing facilities to have their parents admitted to find a new placement if they didn't like their parents SNF, we'd admit anyone whose caregivers felt like they couldn't care for them anymore, we'd admit difficult to place pt's who were facing eviction or other social issues ("difficult to place" because they were often IVDU's, Megan's Law offenders), etc.
Now I am in an urban hospital that is the exact opposite - no one gets admitted. One of our issues (it's not the most frequent one, but it still presents problems) is NY State OPWDD (Office for People with Developmental Disabilities) pt's with behavioral issues being brought by their guardians/caregivers/parents and stating they can not take care of them anymore. LifePlan (agency that does case management for OPWDD) CM's try and get them on emergency housing waiting lists, but from what I gather it can take years for someone to come down that list. In other words, CMs and SWs in this situation just kind of poke and prod caregivers until they agree to come and pick their loved one up, often with no better services set up at discharge.
Is there any insight on how to better tackle these kind of pt's?
Hello,
I am re-reading the Bible as part of my re-discovery of my faith but also through my eyes as someone who loves history (in particular, economic history, how certain modes of production impact people's consciousness, how it impacts the formation of states and new societies). I am very unfamiliar with the field of Biblical studies but the more I read from the Bible the more I feel I need help.
When I'm reading Cain and Abel, I find it interesting (in looking at western Asia in antiquity, from Mesopotamia to Egypt) how there are these two characters representing agriculture and representing pastoralism, two competing modes of economic living each representing the accumulation of surplus but one which become more prevalent than the other. I've read threads here about the meaning behind their offerings and the debates between what they mean.
Are there any scholars which focus on this?
