  1. wheelchair locomotion

    Sorry if this has been covered, but I haven't done MDS's in a looooong time. Under the locomotion on unit, if a resident is pushed in a wheelchair, what do you code it? I have looked back to see what has been previously coded and sometimes it is li...
  2. Ever had an MD document things to make you look bad?

    OMG! I think I worked in your hospital. If it is the one I am thinking about, she is one of the reasons I left.
  3. Anyone travel to Chinle Hos. (Indian)

    My first travel assignment was in Chinle. It is out in the middle of nowhere. They are very travel friendly- I would say 80% of the entire hospital is travel staff. Be prepared for rural nursing. A lot of these patients don't have transportation ...
  4. Core Medical??????

    They have always paid me on time. They even let me know if they haven't received a time sheet. They have always done what they would say they would do. I really haven't had any problems with them.
  5. liquid agents

    I worked for liquid agents. My recruiter was awesome! Great assignment. No complaints.
  6. Core Medical??????

    I am currently working with them. They are about average. They are not the best I have worked for, but they are not the worst either.
  7. This happened a while back at a small rural hospital (no such thing as vip status). One outpatient blood transfusion wrote a complaint. Something about being at a room far away from the nurses station (only one available), slovenly aid (ok, I am an...
  8. epidural pumps

    I am just curious what is being done in other places. I am new to this small hospital and the CRNA put the epidural on a regular pump. I am used to the small locking pumps and am concerned over possible mix up's when the nurse goes to change settin...
  9. buretrol for magnesium?

    I am new to this small facility. I informed the doctors that it would be safer to have pre-mixed bags of magnesium than the nurses mixing them. The bags that we are to get are 1000ml bags with 40gms of Magnesium. The doctors started talking about...
  10. knee-chest

    I really should know this, but luckily I have never had a patient with a cord prolapse. When they tell you to put pt. in knee-chest, do they mean like a McRobert's maneuver where the pt. is on their back and the knees are flexed up on the abdomen, o...
  11. ((((((((((((((((((((soul))))))))))))))))))))) Big hugs to you. Been there, done that. I too am quiet by nature. I had someone training me who had been at that hospital for about 23 years. If things weren't done her way, they were wrong. Different...
  12. Unless your titer is drawn within two months of completing the series, it wont be accurate. The cdc does not recommend routine titers for healthcare workers. If your facitily requires it, the usual procedure is to get one additional hep b shot (if ...
  13. moses lake

    Does anyone have any experience with Samaratin hospital in Moses Lake?
  14. What not to say / do while you are in the ER...

    My DON handed me a complaint to respond to. A "respected member of the community" had come in as an outpatient for a couple of units of blood. I escorted her and her entourage to the only available room, got them all drinks, and a fan because it wa...
  15. cortisone injections to C5

    I had this surgery right after I turned 30. I had c-5 & c-6 fused. Never had the cortisone shots though. The surgery was the best thing I could have done. I had weakness down my right arm and my right thumb was numb. The reason for my surger...
