   blushpink replied to artsmom's topic in Case Management

   Hi! Are you looking for the ACM or CCM? If CCM, search for Case Management Institute and Deanna Cooper. She has excellent study guides. Good luck!

3. The Supreme Court has overruled Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision establishing the right to abortion.

   blushpink replied to Julie's topic in Headlines

   The SCOTUS’s overturning Roe v. Wade clearly set us back in time. It is wrong to take away abortion rights, reproductive rights and women’s rights.

4. Legal Nurses Rock Program?

   blushpink replied to sergioray's topic in Legal

   My apologies for this overdue response. I looked at the LNC Stat website before deciding which program to take. My concern was having to pay for continuing education or renewing the “certification period” in LNC Stat.

5. Philippine doctors to nurses in the US

   blushpink replied to Motongever's topic in General Nursing

   Hi! I don’t have first-hand experience, but I know a few friends who moved to the Philippines and graduated medical school there. They all came back to the US, but I’m not sure if they passed the boards here (I’m not close enough to them to ask.) ...

6. Legal Nurses Rock Program?

   blushpink replied to sergioray's topic in Legal

   Hi there! I’m currently in the Legal Nurses Rock program and enjoying it. I’m still in the beginning phases because I’m working and moving while completing this course. Thankfully, it is self-paced. I feel that this course is well worth the cos...

7. Nurses Oppose New CDC Rule Lowering Isolation Time for COVID-Positive Nurses

   blushpink replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in COVID

   This is the kind of policy that continues to drive nurses away from the bedside. My feelings echo the same responses as above. I wanted to help clinically during COVID-19, but it appears that nurses are still being treated as dispensable.

8. Employers' Background Investigation (i.e. social media)

   blushpink replied to Guest 1152923's topic in General Nursing

   I don’t think you need to suspend your social media accounts, but perhaps adjust the viewer’s settings to “private” or “friends only.” I often Google myself to make sure my words and photos are appropriate.

9. Has anyone tried ‘Legal Nurses Rock’ LNC program?

   blushpink replied to Vbergeron's topic in Legal

   Hi! I plan on taking Legal Nurses Rock as well. If you complete the free one-hour workshop, you’ll see the prices for the actual courses. Since there are no printed materials, the tuition is more budget friendly. What stood out to me is that Janice a...

11. How To Properly Clean Your Stethoscope

    blushpink replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

    I used alcohol pads to wipe my stethoscope, scissors, pens, phone, etc. For a deep clean, I’d use the purple wipes. I didn’t wear my stethoscope around my neck either because it was uncomfortable and didn’t want the rubber tubing to break down. I kep...

14. State Mandates Restricting Travel to Other States - What Do You Think?

    blushpink replied to RNNPICU's topic in COVID

    Each person has his or her own free will to travel or not. It is tough placing my love for travel on the back burner. However, I choose to stay in my state because I wish to keep myself, my family, my loved ones and my patients safe. I honestly cring...
