   mysticalwaters1 replied to medsurgnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Wow I didn't realize that! I wonder if that happens a lot. That's not fair. you can argue as you stated the primary md works over the others but if you are seen by NP and PA the insurance should cover it. I can't stand insurance and drug coverage ...

5. Overcoming Night Shift Alienation

   mysticalwaters1 replied to Arkansas RN's topic in General Nursing

   My ER has weekly meetings with managment and chair of the ER physicians present right at 7am. So nights come to them right after their shift. Our ER is setup so when the relief is there if it's 0715 we can go to the meeting soon and it last for 1.5...

   mysticalwaters1 replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

8. In-hospital MDs take pressure off physicians

   mysticalwaters1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

10. Am I the only one who finds this disrespectful?

    mysticalwaters1 replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I understand feeling the way you do but I really feel a lot of it is to vent and honestly it is quite funny. You really do have to joke about it. Now some posts can be too much and downright nasty. I think many of us understand we are health care ...

    Actually, I found it rather truthful and pointing out there needs to be more staffing, more space, and more resources for people without insurance. And I didn't find it slamming healthcare workers either. I was about to pounce about ER forced to be...
