   mystcnurse replied to NewbieNurse93's topic in General Nursing

   Not to mention, keeping this patient another night could constitute WASTE - as in "Fraud, waste and abuse". Unfortunately, it is a nurse's job to advocate for not only the patient, but also the...

8. Telemedicine for NPs-DME?

   mystcnurse replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I doubt it. You can look up the law/policy on the CMS website. For a while, an MD had to sign that they witnessed the NP or a PA, but now, it just has to be the NP or PA OR an MD/DO. If I were you, I...

9. Telemedicine for NPs-DME?

   mystcnurse replied to googs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

12. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    There ARE no epidemiological reports. There is plenty of evidence that there is no real evidence. Look for yourself. Estimates are as useful as anecdotal evidence. The bottom line is: the...

13. What is your opinion on getting the flu shot?

    mystcnurse replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Holistic

    The numbers of deaths from flu and hospitalizations from flu and "flu related illnesses" are all, basically anecdotal as well. There is as much lack of science in the influenza vaccine research,...

14. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    mystcnurse replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, assessment is not within the scope of an LPN practice, except in collaboration with a registered nurse or physician, although I will admit, LPNs are often put in a position to assess. LPNs...

15. Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    mystcnurse replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I hate the term "passing meds" that is often used by nurses, and in my experience, very often by LPNs and their instructors. Medications are not "passed", at least not by registered nurse , they are...
