   old-MLF replied to Celia M's topic in Legal

   EastTxLVN: You say you take notes all noc long then rewrite them. I don't say this is wrong, or illegal, but I have a word of caution for you. One "sign" of medical record tampering can be how "neat" a record looks. Let me explain. If you were to sit...

   old-MLF replied to pampa's finest's topic in Male Students

   Pampa: just a quick word of advice then I need to run. Be very careful of your choices! As a teenager I worked-and volunteered- in nursing homes. CNA. While I enjoy and respect the elderly I knew it was not the field I wanted to work in. Then, years ...

   old-MLF replied to pampa's finest's topic in Male Students

   Pampa: Good morning. No, at this time, I don't intend to further my education. In fact, I think one of my doctor's would have a few words about me doing so-every time I return to school she tells me that I am nuts and that I have enough degrees. I ha...

   Pampa: I have been receiving a free nursing newsletter in the mail (sorry, forgot the name) that is sent out to Texas and Louisiana nurses. The other day-after I wrote you, in fact,- there was some mention of a loan repayment plan that President Bush...

   check and see if you state will pay or help pay if you agree to work in that state for one year. I am thinking the state I just moved from had that policy. Or even check into working for the government (like at a VA hospital). Good luck

7. pregnant while in school or during first year?

   old-MLF replied to Boston-RN's topic in General Nursing

   MAnurseHopeful-I really, really have to answer this. When I started nursing school I was in my 20's and in a dilemma. I wanted to get my education and finish having my children. I would opt to have a child while in school-and employer might not take ...

9. Anyone else frustrated with being a new nurse?

   old-MLF replied to asilmk's topic in New Nurse

   Dear Nupsgrad: I read over some of the letters of nurses who are frustrated and could have answered any one of them but chose yours-knowing if anyone is also frustrated they will see it. I have been in nursing for about 14 years-and still wonder why ...

10. LNC course--which level?????

    old-MLF replied to NrseNancy's topic in Legal

    Siri: I see so many responses written from you I thought I'd drop a line. I finished Vickie's course several months ago but didn't pass the exam, yet. Would you believe I scored 69 out of 70? The position I'm in is this: I have business cards, I have...

11. question

    old-MLF replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in Legal

    Monica: In response to your question re:advice to lay people-I would be very cautious about that. I just finished Vickie Millazzo's LNC course and one thing that is mentioned is that we shouldn't give legal "advice." When people find out that we are...
