About tori-alba

tori-alba specializes in Med Surg, SubAcute, Hospice, Infusion.

Started my career in health care as a dental hygienist. I later became a ultrasound tech and saw internal cancers. I decided to study radiation therapy and got a BRT. I went on enroll in an accelerated second degree BSN program and got my second bachelors in one year. Currently I am working full time as a utilization review nurse for the largest managed care organization in the world. I am also pursuing my MSN. I guess I just love education!

    Actually I am a BSN RN, who works in utilization review and am currently working on my MSN. I thought maybe I could get an idea of community resources in different parts of the country. I am sorry to have troubled the allnurses group.

    What resources are available for a homeless patient that is being discharged but he needs further care? He has been in the hospital for the max days allowed for his condition. How would you handle this?

  6. "Are you a Christian?"

    tori-alba replied to anon456's topic in Spirituality

    James when asked if you are a Christian...you could simply say no. Just as I would if someone were to ask if I were muslim or an atheist. Or you could say... I am not comfortable discussing my personal beliefs (as you stated above) and then move on.
