   to be accurate it is not characterized as a lawsuit but rather a "termination of provider number and enrollment" (pending appeal). or, "termination pending appeal." in the course of the appeal process i was subjected to a couple of "informal intervie...

   You may see from my profile that I was pretty serious, at one time, about a career in medicine. I was, simultaneously, pretty serious about a career in social work (church ministry). So, I imagined myself to be a medical missionary! It was all about ...

   The patient's daughter, who lives out of state, had been attempting, for about a year, without success, to get me dismissed from her mother's case but her mother was satisfied with my service and refused to comply with her daughter's wishes. The daug...

   I agree. But then I'm not "just anyone." Thank you for your response.

   Dear rn/writer. Wow!! I am touched by the pia mater. I knew you had to be out there somewhere: all wise and understanding. You have struck a chord; pushed a button; rung a bell. Elicited an emotional response. Oh yeah. I've been in awe of nurses fro...

   not exactly the board of nursing but thanks for the link anyway. here is the part i think relevant to our discussion: (8) ... "practice of nursing" includes executing medical orders as prescribed by a physician or dentist but does not include such ex...

   Thank you for your calm and rational reply. Love your alias. (or are you THE Nurse Ratched?) Legally and professionally speaking, of course, you are correct. But as a joke?! It was not my intent to purport creation of a new professional standing...

   My employer's whiney daughter, assisted by her (devoted) husband (tax lawyer) brought an official complaint against me which included, among other things, a statement by the husband saying that I "forced" his wife to sign for her mother's "prescripti...

   Thank you, tencat, for your response. I just re-read my original post for a clue as to how I had suddenly engendered so much animosity here in a realm where I had hoped to find sympathy. Still puzzling that out. To answer your question. We are not cu...

    Like I said: You guys are way too uptight. How about you respond to my criticism of the level of literacy reflected here; or the juvenile (and unprofessional) expressions being used here in reference to the penis? Such things indicate the grade of p...

    What "silliness" do you suppose I was describing? No kidding. How does my joke degrade you. How does it harm the nursing profession? How does it harm your patients?

    "the poster" to whom you refer is an administrator here. Why am I not impressed that you support her? As for calling oneself "nurse," have you forgotten LPN, CNA, FNP, and ANP? Have I missed anyone? What about the first nurse of all time? Was he/she ...

    Please lighten up. I had hoped I might find myself among friends here as I always do among real nurses. With all due respect: The title is Nurse; and most people don't hear what comes before or after that. I believe this is one of the few place...

    Homecare Worker replied to erkantarik's topic in General Nursing

    Ideally?! Isn't it a breach of security? Imagine the surprise of the ICU nurse to discover someone unknown, unexpected and unattended, at the bedside of a critical patient. I'll bet her/his heart skipped a beat.

    :chair: These horror stories touch a cord with me, although my problem seems to be something rather opposite. My patient and her daughter recently traveled out-of-state. The daughter asserted her intent to control all aspects of her mother's care t...
