    It can't be saying you can't have your own children? Or your own pets? I'm guessing instead it is disallowing the paid care of elders, children or

    Pit Bull Service Dogs

    mtmkjr replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    The problem I see with pitbulls as service animals is that their reputation precedes them. Deserved or not, people are intimidated by them. Service animals are allowed in all kinds of spaces where you...

    mtmkjr replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Prison isn't just about deterrence. I see it more as a matter of justice... a declaration of guilt for a wrongdoing. It is enough IMHO for her to live with a felony conviction. As I've said before, I...

    @mtnNurse. Your entire premise seems to be based on the assumption that the failure to safely practice by RV only happened because of working conditions set by the hospital and that she was working...

    This article is presented in a way that really doesn't begin to address what happened to cause the death of Ms Murphy. Those who are defending her against the "system" are really creating a false...

    Let's assume Vandy did not report her to the BON. If that is the case, I wonder if the BON can launch an investigation based on the charges and CMS report? Can CMS report nurses? If the BON...
