  1. FNP in ER

    Congrats on passing your boards! You must be beyond excited. I left ICU to work on the reimbursement side for the ED so I could work from home. I am impressed with the NPs' documentation. I rarely have to return a chart for a signature, query a NP re...
  2. Browse Hospital Violation Reports

    Check out the state of Florida. There are plenty of misadventures reported. This is a sad case: HospitalInspections.org | Report Detail

    Good grief, a pimple-popping CRNA: HospitalInspections.org | Report Detail
  4. Ordering aspirin tied into a part of ER MD salary ??

    I see a lot money left on the table due to hydration and therapeutic infusion stop times not documented. Do you think staffing budgets would increase if more reimbursement occurred or would that money be diverted to other expenditures in the ED? Unio...
  5. Ordering aspirin tied into a part of ER MD salary ??

    Measure 28 for PQRS (Physician Quality Reporting System) - Aspirin at arrival for AMI. Incentive payments peaked at 2% in 2009 and 2010 but dropped to 1% for 2011 and 0.5% for years 2012-2014. Beginning in 2015 there will be a penalty when the measu...
  6. I took off for 6 months a couple of times over the years when my husband went to sea during his Navy days. The time flew by. There were some equipment and P&P changes, but after a few busy 12 hour shifts, I got into the groove again. I use Nurse....
  7. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    You must feel like you are in a nightmare that won't end. I am sorry for your pain and the management team's soul-less behavior. How do these folks sleep at night or even get into nursing? The PTB want to run healthcare systems like businesses but of...
  8. overreacting or not, that is the question!?!

    Good Lord! The nurse seemed rather callous telling you, a nurse, that you have a mass without an explanation from the provider. Aye, yaye, yaye. Don't we tend to think of the worse case scenario when it comes to our own symptoms? Is this business as ...
  9. Tufts nurses vote 70% to authorize strike

    In addition to safe staffing ratios, I propose: every member of administration (CNO, CFO, COO, CEO, UFO...) will don scrubs and running shoes to shadow a nurse for an entire 12.5 hour shift every six months. Breaks will not be guaranteed. One night s...
  10. It all comes back tenfold...

    Aww, Poi Dog, I love pay-it-forward stories. Random acts of kindness are the best!
  11. What should I have done differently?

    Well, there is your out, "After completion of the internship..." Run! :)
  12. Tufts nurses vote 70% to authorize strike

    Union Busting 101. Administration loves to divide and conquer. The public is clueless unless they have a family member or friend in the biz. Thanks for the reply, Catch22.
  13. Nurses receiving poor care....

    When I had my daughter, the staff knew I was a nurse from the facesheet info. The poor young nurse was so nervous while starting an IV, I told her, "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies!" She did a superb job of inserting an 18 gauge needle...
  14. Nurses receiving poor care....

    "Mom is a nurse and she stays the night," was probably the first part of the shift report. Many moons ago, I walked into my then 6 yo's room; she screamed at a nurse using only a kelly clamp during a dressing change of an open wound, "Get those scis...
  15. Tufts nurses vote 70% to authorize strike

    Chin Up, do you have any idea how the community feels about the nurse's fight at Tuft's? Are folks supportive? There seems to be a lot of nurse-bashing in the Comments section of the Boston Herald site. Do these malcontents represent the masses? The ...
