    Question about LTC facilities that do not accept Medicare

    SuesquatchRN replied to Morainey's topic in General Nursing

    If the place doesn't accept Medicare or order meds it is probably an assisted living, not nursing home. Juan covered it. Medicare pays, generally, for skilled rehab, for I think 120 days total a...

    Am I wrong for calling off? Please help!

    SuesquatchRN replied to np2b4me's topic in General Nursing

    I'm proud of the OP. She called off, owned her reasons, and gave TPTB a much needed kick in the rear. She is willing to stand her ground and take the consequences. I'd like to work with someone...

    Sensitivity or stereotyping?

    SuesquatchRN replied to katc90's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I found the cultural sensitivity stuff I had to do in nursing school to be terribly, well, racist. AA's live in a matriarchy, yada yada yada.

    Am I wrong for calling off? Please help!

    SuesquatchRN replied to np2b4me's topic in General Nursing

    One LPN and one RN for 15 critically ill patients, some on vents? That's a recipe for death and disaster and license losing. And believe me, TPTB will find staffing. They filled the beds, they can...

    Reporting a Fall???

    SuesquatchRN replied to macgirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You won't lose your license over charting or not charting a fall. You will lose your job if you defy the boss. Don't mention any internal paperwork that is not part of the medical record in your...

    SuesquatchRN replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Can a BSN still work with their LVN license?

    SuesquatchRN replied to ten0883's topic in General Nursing

    Your employer could damned well pay you as an RN until she replaces you. You agree to that and you'll never be replaced - she's got an RN at LPN pay as long as she drags her feet about finding a...

    It depends on the facility, but if TPTB have determined that they don't permit a certain method they're not usually likely to make eceptions. Who is responsible gets murkey, and possession is 9/10s...
