   As far as 'who will build the roads..?" Private companies already do that and taxpayers fund it. So where, exactly, does the government, fit in here?

2. Job Dates:Very disapponted, for a couple of reasons, just need to vent.

   MBsGirl replied to MBsGirl's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, thanks for everyone's reply! I did call one place today, apparently they just went back to the last time I worked, even though it was a couple months later that I officially resigned. They said they would be glad to verify it. I left a message w/...

6. Chart Audits -- I Couldn't Make This Up!

   MBsGirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   There was an elderly male patient brought in once because he said his house was being broken into by dwarves. He had his gun and had been acting threateningly. He was perfectly alert, oriented, and appropriate in every other way. Thank goodness it w...

   Thanks, Meri...I used to keep photocopies of all my certs, my license, and my Dr license but hadn't needed to for some years. I plan to keep the copies of the verification letters. They've been scanned in, so at least now I can submit them w/ my resu...

8. Debra Medina, RN, is running for Governor of Texas

   MBsGirl replied to tejas-nurse's topic in Texas

   She's got my vote. My only complaint is that we can't clone her, and replace the Pres, VP, and all of Congress with her!

9. Chart Audits -- I Couldn't Make This Up!

   MBsGirl replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   I think one of the funniest pieces of charting I ever read was on an ER note: "Pt states has had diarrhea running away from the house for 3 days". Eewwwwww! I sure don't want to do a home visit to THAT house! We also had one of our admitting folks p...

    MBsGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Recently I applied for a prn position that I was really excited about. The interview process took awhile because the position was on hold for several months, but it was opened back up and I got the job offer a couple weeks ago. The problem? The organ...

    MBsGirl replied to Whiskeytown's topic in General Nursing

    MBsGirl replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism

    I haven't read all the posts, but what about universal Dental and eye care? Is this covered by UHC in Canada or the UK? Just curious. Seems like dentists in the US have it pretty good...few around here take Medicaid patients, 4 day workweek, no call,...

    Just curious...what is Culture Change in ltc? Is it anything like the Eden alternative?

14. Anything good about working in Texas?

    MBsGirl replied to MBsGirl's topic in Texas

    I'm hoping to start out at least 24/hrly or so. The hospital I'm looking at is small, so I realize that pay may be low compared to the bigger ones but it's fairly close to where I'll be living.

15. Diagnoses you never thought you'd see?

    MBsGirl replied to KarafromPhilly's topic in General Nursing

    On one of our computer screens that the admitting people put the diagnosis on, you'll sometimes see some strange things. I don't think most of the staff have any training in medical terminology. Anyhow, the funniest one I've seen so far was 'Neutrop...
