    Is this fraud?

    SuesquatchRN replied to adlockwood's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    I may have misunderstood the OP's point. I thought she was saying that the facility would not be informed of the medication so the patient would be admitted. To me, that is the sending case manager...

    {{{Tait}}} Guys, I have very strong opinions on end-of-life and who should get to call it, but this isn't the thread for it. I wish you all peace, Tait, and a comfortable, fear-free end for your...

    SuesquatchRN replied to LPWalker's topic in Indiana State University

    I was about to quote this and then saw it was you! HA! I hate classroom except for math and science, for which I need a human to guide me. The rest of it I ADORE online. But I can't sit still, get...

    Is this fraud?

    SuesquatchRN replied to adlockwood's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    The point is that you are getting the patient in fraudulently. You did not ask about the ethics of it but whether it is fraud. It

    Is this fraud?

    SuesquatchRN replied to adlockwood's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    You are not disclosing the patient's true condition to the facility because you know that if you do he will not be accepted. You are getting him in under false pretenses. How is that NOT fraud?...

    SuesquatchRN replied to NCRN2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Congratulations on getting the RN. But seriously, did you really think you'd get a raise after you quit? After they planned to screw you even if you

    Bed Alarms

    SuesquatchRN replied to LeloFallz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You need to define "effective." Effective at what? Peventing falls? No. Getting there quickly when they do?

    Anyone work with a prima donna?

    SuesquatchRN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    He gets a shower. He doesn't like anyone to help him with care and as a result he stinks in between. It wasn't his "day." I HAD told him that morning during rounds that he needed to let an aide...

    Hijab (headscarf) Nurses

    SuesquatchRN replied to skybmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Caps were far more of a problem than hijab will ever be. You wear a clean one every day. The caps got washed when they looked

    Hijab (headscarf) Nurses

    SuesquatchRN replied to skybmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't a nickname. The guy thought he'd been reaaallly bad. Seriously, people who don't know much about Islam seem often to think women with hijab are nuns. They have no reference. I really...

    Should I keep my LPN license active?

    SuesquatchRN replied to my.toys's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't. I wouldn't be hired here as an LPN. And I hated being one -- very limited scope in NYS -- so wouldn't want to work as one

    What kind of scrubs do you wear in LTC?

    SuesquatchRN replied to calidonrnstudent's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, as I said, we all wear whites but my ladies love the floral jackets especially. I did once have a visitor come in when I was in a white scrub dress and white hose say, "You're obviously the...
