2. British midwives- ?????

   Huq replied to CEG's topic in CNM

   I am a nurse/midwife, all of my education in England. I entered the midwifery programme with a bachelor's in nursing. I did this a long time ago and things may have changed. The first thing we were told "You may be RN's with degrees, but from now on ...

3. Medicare abuse?

   Huq posted a topic in General Nursing

   I work in a SNF and recently have seen a trend. Extensive remedial therapies ordered (PT,OT,ST.) for patients who have remained at the same physical level for many years, mostly patients in their eighties, nineties. We have an excellent Remedial nur...

4. Medication Errors/ Medication Management Advisory Committee

   Huq replied to NEWSTART's topic in Safety

   Not the fault of the nurse? Giving medication when unable to read an order is the same as giving medication without an order.

5. Good nursing shoes

   Huq replied to doularoz's topic in General Nursing

   Nurse Mates. Their Hunter 230504 has a very wide toe. The most comfortable nursing shoe I have found.

   Huq replied to angel 64's topic in General Nursing

   CeCiRN I read no comment re: BSN versus ADN in Angel64's thread. I hope you will review your thread and decide that, perhaps, your choice of words was unkind.

8. Altered and removed charting

   A patient's chart is a legal document. Don't mess with it!

11. Hey Nurse! Cyberspace me an Ambien STAT!

    Huq replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    The ceiling fan works for me. The sound is just enough to make me close my eyes and imagine that I am at the coast listening to the waves coming in and out.

13. JCAHO visit

    Huq replied to tylerrose's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that surveys should be unannounced, but as I said in a previous post JCAHO charges a fee...pretty hefty fee.....I cannot imagine any corporation saying "Plesae come in unannounced and here is your big fat check" JCAHO surveys are not mandator...

14. JCAHO visit

    Huq replied to tylerrose's topic in General Nursing

    I have also read that JCAHO will make surprise visits in the future. Unlike the State surveys there is a fee for JCAHO and this fee is paid by the facility. Cannot figure out why a facility would pay for an unannounced visit.

15. Disgruntled is putting it mildly... need input !

    Huq replied to jnette's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with BadBird. Everyone ignore the mandatory part and your company will have to come up with something else. You mention that you were scheduled to work on that day, You were NOT scheduled to drive X number of miles.
