2. EMTALA

   EMTALA applies to acute psych too.

3. Opinion about starting NP program at 53

   feelix replied to jnb1740's topic in NP Students

   Go for it. The math works out. You still have 13 years of hard work left before you can claim SS. You are getting old for the floor but can still handle office. Take out 3 years of school and you have at least 10 good years of career left as an NP. I...

4. EMTALA

   feelix replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

   Yes. It is an EMTALA violation and it happens daily at detox and psych facilities when people are declined for lack of insurance. So the most vulnerable, who obviously cannot obtain insurance because the are unemployed, lost their reason and homes ca...

   This is a common sense opinion you don't need a license to have.

6. Is it still worth it to become an RN?

   feelix replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

   Don't. You found out what nursing is about. Do not invest any more in it. You can still become a pharmacy tech/pharmacist, occupational therepy tech/ OT, physical therapy tech/PT, speech therapy tech/ SLP and so on. Keep working while you go to schoo...

7. EKG order

   feelix replied to cepr4's topic in General Nursing

   Look at your unit standing orders. EKG or vital signs are non-invasive assessment tools and a prudent nurse can use them as many times as they consider appropriate. Yes, the hospital may feel you used their equipment unnecessarily, but that is their ...

8. Splitting Referral Bonuses

   feelix replied to Peterpan1234's topic in General Nursing

   Oh my! Oh my! Your daughter and her friend schemed to defraud the hospital of referral money but her friend decided to keep your daughter's share. Karma! This would cause a drug war like situation on the street. Both are in the wrong profe...

9. Splitting Referral Bonuses

   feelix replied to Peterpan1234's topic in General Nursing

   Your daughter did not make the referral. The employee who referred her did, so your daughter has no right to it. If she likes the idea of making referral money, just refer someone herself and earn some money in the future.

10. NCLEXRN After 12 Years

    feelix replied to AspiringRNmama's topic in Student Assist

    Nursing practice is a very fast changing body of knowledge. We were taking out failed attempts at foley insertion 10 years ago before restarting a fresh insertion. Now we reinsert with the old one still in. We were pulling the plunger before IM injec...

11. AMA Ceasefire Resolution

    feelix replied to feelix's topic in Activism

    Dear Hppy, I agree that being on the ground is the highest level of empathy, though, not the only one. There was such a mission present on the ground in Egypt, ready to serve. First, the border crossing was not open, When the crossing opene...

    Recently a ceasefire resolution at American Medical Association was shut down after it was deemed irrelevant. More than 11000 civilians, including over 5000 children and over 200 healthcare workers have died in this conflict. You can take ...

13. Being Asked to Give References for Someone You Don't Respect

    feelix replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I always try to give a reference if the oerson had any good in them. I never give a bad reference so as not to damage someones prospects. Only once, a person who had caught being dishonest asked me for a reference and declined respectfully saying it...

14. What do you say when a patient family member is taking out their rage out on the world on to you? 

    feelix replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    You should always call some sort of internal code and 911. People inside the building will reach you first. A lot of times, seeing people arrive will take care of the situation because the perp will back off. Don't hesitate if your admin tells you no...

15. CPR Renewal and Physical Limitations

    feelix replied to Cricket183's topic in General Nursing

    Please get your certificate from an outside provider. It will cost about $60, but save you the trouble. I have always been given accommodation due to my physical condition.
