From: legislative coordinator Nevada Nurses Association Attached is the proposed job description developed by the Nevada Hospital Association for a new category of personnel-- an EMT / nursing assistant / technician position that would work in hos...

THE OUTCOME of what is almost certain to be a legal battle fought all the way to Supreme Court will hinge on whether the justices accept the findings of Congress that the procedure is never medically necessary and poses additional health risks to the...

i think they gave you all enough rope. you have violated the tos in your responses. you do not know these people and if they are trolls the admin/mods should deal with it. not you by being nasty and sarcastic. and since when can we say ass and jack-a...

WELL,KISS MY GRITS,SHANDY. good to see you. i thought you were banned. ya know ya can't tell by looking at profiles anymore. the top posters that were banned still show as "senior members" and such. wonder why that is??????

we got a little tiny cactus and a bandana. woo-hoo!

hi hael, and welcome. i have alot of friends that i work with that are from the phillipines. which part are you in?

The legislation -- which Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn signed into law Aug. 7 -- calls for many of the reforms that the American Medical Association has said are needed to help change states' medical liability climates. It places a $350,000 cap on nonecono...

i'm paid by the hour and get ot(time and a half for anything over 40 hrs in a week or anything over 12 in the day. also time and a half for holidays(i think we get six paid holidays).

i think your infection control nurse is getting a little carried away. that just sounds ridiculous to me.

when i started over 12 years ago, it was an 8. now, i give it a 3------due to poor management and low staff numbers(they have cut us way back). i stay for my benes only.

i've heard that you would also hang for the lpn. even though they are liscensed. how ridiculous is this? everyone should be responsible for their own scope of practice. the rn cannot know everything that a cna or lpn does and should not be held respo...

sorry for a kind of a double post--i didn't think the first one took.

val--why the need to be so nasty? can't this be a friendly debate. it was before you showed up. and no, i haven't participated. only observed. it seems you are just looking to put someone else down instead of talk about things.

:)

where i work we have cnas. they only do adls. they used to be able to do more. i am an lpn. i used to be able to do alot more too. more and more restrictions came in to limit our scope of care. i don't understand why, when there is a nursing shortage...

alot of people participated in this thread. can you be more specific as to whom you are accusing of discrimination. or is it just everyone who has an opinion about this?

in regards to your question-i would tell the family members that administration chose to promote the strike rather than give into the demands of the nurses for a safe pt. ratio and decent pay. as far as the eds go. the administration have the same ...

i am not the best person to give an answer here (since we have a no strike clause in our union contract) but like i said---it is not always about the money!!!!!! if the problem has to do with safe staffing then the patients are suffering anyway. an...

i think the main reason nurses strike is because their patients are already in danger, due to insufficient staff, non-nursing duties being forced upon them, etc,,,,,,! yes, they may get substandard care during the strike, but if the outcome is positi...

ditto!:)

and if you do choose not to be a donor--you will not be able to recieve an organ(should you ever need one). i think that is fair.

i always have renewed my cpr at the hospital i work for. been there over 12 yrs. it used to be horrible. you actually had to have a partner and perform cpr on the doll. a strip would print out from the doll rating your compressions.if your breaths we...

i have worked on the same unit for 12+ years. i never before had a manager that treats the staff poorly until recently(and this is number six) . the new manager(who actually is not new at all to the hospital but only to our unit) totally sux. i won'...
