   Fired for refusing??

   lamazeteacher replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Free Standing Emergency Rooms

   lamazeteacher replied to Elle23's topic in Emergency

   My experiences going to "Urgent Care" places, have almost all been positive. The staff was welcoming, I got seen quickly and had appropriate care and explanations. One of them actually followed up...

   If you like your health insurance, you can keep it your insurance. Period

   lamazeteacher replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   That was not an optimistic or a credible post! First of all, I don't know where you have come up with the opinion that "Obamacare" has failed. It isn't even in place yet! It looks like you've gone to...

   lamazeteacher replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   Medicare only kicks in for young people once all their money has been spent, and they are in dire financial corcumstances. I'd like to know how you came up with that high premium for Obamacare, if...

   If you like your health insurance, you can keep it your insurance. Period

   lamazeteacher replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   I'm here, still jubilant about Obamacare - which had some computer glitches for enrollment, but otherwise is on schedule! Only stupid maysayers use those adjectives about it for their own gain!...

   Boundaries in pediatric PDN/home health

   lamazeteacher replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in Private Duty

   It was great that all the nurses (except D) were "on the same page". It seems that no interface in regard to the party and agency guidelines occurred prior to the occasion. It would have been wiser...

   Is it covered under Obamacare? - Cartoon Contest Winner

   lamazeteacher replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

   The north-south divide has no geographical recognized line on any map and is known historically as the "Mason-Dixon" line. However I think it's mostly in the heads of those who were brought up in...

   How to be confident without appearing arrogant

   lamazeteacher replied to heartsgal's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   It could be that you're quite intense and appear to be holding back something, when a subject in an interview isn't welcomed. Tune in to your interviewer(s), who could see this task as interfering...

    Any one know anything regarding Chaldean Birth practices?

    lamazeteacher replied to Anbo3882's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It could be that some disease(s) occur more in this small group of people. It could be that your instructor ran across a patient who had that in her DNA, and she wants the class to be aware of that...

    Why do you visit allnurses.com?

    lamazeteacher replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Since my career brought me further than I ever thought that I'd go, and I'd learned so much from it, this site was an opportunity to give back, share and "come in from the cold". It's lonely at the...

    Could Obamacare cause a shortage in nursing again

    lamazeteacher replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There's certainly a lot of naysaying going on here! Well, in "The Simpsons" that happens a lot, too.... With more preventive work being done, initially more patients will arrive at hospitals, as...

    40 years of Nursing, and still learning---until my own death

    lamazeteacher replied to jegworld's topic in Nursing Career

    You are very fortunate to still be working! I started to lose jobs after I was 55 years old. It never occurred to me to be silent about that, as I've had breast cancer (2 different primaries) twice...

    Visitors that are drinking in patient rooms......What do I do?

    lamazeteacher replied to Innocent2021's topic in Critical Care

    I was tempted at first, to go the "call security" route. That would have gotten them out of my hair. However that could lead then, to a "driving under the influence" citation (best case scenario); or...

    Reflection: Healthcare Quality and Safety

    lamazeteacher replied to gypsyd8's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    FOLLOW THE MONEY! We nurses take the blame when medication errors occur, yet we accept and continue to work understaffed! Our employers prefer to think "bad nurse needs to be fired and another one...
