http://www.azbn.gov/documents/advisory_opinion/AO ABANDONMENT OF PATIENTS.pdf See: I, sub section 'E' I would be hard pressed to imagine any state's BON not having similar language. And if some don't address the topic, there's nothing stopping one f...

How would you be 'forced' to come in on a day off? What will they do? Drive over and drag you in? Please... I work my scheduled time. I never call in. If they were to (last minute, after schedule is posted) schedule me on a day when I am not schedule...

A one time BP should be looked at in context, along with symptomatic versus not...A single 'low' BP means nothing without qualifiers.

ALWAYS call the receiving facility when you send a patient ANYWHERE. (in any setting...this includes ER nurses sending patients back) I am an old ER nurse, and it chapped my hide when I didn't get a call when patients came from any another medical f...

a fractured hip does not cause poor circulation and poor circulation is not necessarily a result of a fractured hip... it wouldn't work...

immobility from fx hip also could use r/t: poor nutrition AEB inability to change positions q 2 hours (by herself) the why would be in the body of the care plan use measurable outcomes, and ACTIVE interventions

I think you've already answered your own question...

Always wanted to ask: "Why did both of you (parents) bring in the 2 other (well) kids, in with your "sick" kiddo, who only has a temp of 101, at 0300 on a school night..."

It's not politically incorrect to ask the question Michigan... Why on earth would one want to bear a child he/she CANNOT afford?? We have the right to ask this question

Actually worked with a guy who frequently said: "You came here for THAT?" "If that were my kid, I wouldn't have brought him" "That laceration isn't very big at all" "If it were me, I would go home"

Ah yes, the "while I'm here I'll get seen too" visit... one of my favorites... right up there with the family plan of 7 pts, all with different last names, coming in 2 hours past what should be their bedtime, all for snotty noses (oh, and they have a...

That's not the point...They likely don't pay anything...Public assistance foots the bill..

Excellent post traumanurse... When I was a kid, I (purposely) broke windows in what I thought was an abandoned building...The owners found out it was me (small town) and my parents paid the owner back... Imagine them telling the building owner that t...

I'm just tired of paying for others' poor choices...If a family member makes a poor choice, the family should come together and take responsibility, not thrust it upon the taxpayers... My sister had a kid at 16, and my parents stepped up to the plate...

"Had to be put on Medicaid" No...That was your choice... I was working prn 2 years ago...My 2 and 4 year olds were 90/month each...Cigna HMO, great coverage...Opened the phone book, and shopped around... It's my responsibility, not the state's

5:1 I would never tolerate more, and I close beds d/t short staffing... CNA: 5:1, up to 7:1

I stopped after "inteligent" Get spellcheck

I did two 16s for 40...6a-10p... loved it...

Public information Craig...It's how employers verify...

You are a charge nurse AND take a pt assignment? Sounds dangerous to me...And the sup places pts? Not in my world...I am a house sup, and my charge nurses place pts...

Good grammar and sentence structure factor in to my (nursing) students' grades on care plans, work ups, etc...

no uniform policy 5250 per year tuition reimbursement not sure of the committment required... great place to work

One more thing Cardiac... I hope after many years in nursing you will realize that where one went to school is maybe 5% important... Who you had for instructors (inspirational ones, mean ones, etc) contributes another 5% The rest is up to you, and wh...

Nothing new...This thread is 3 years old, and from your first post, you have disagreed with me (though that was only last year)...That's okay... I likely despise religion more than most... Went to GCU's website: http://www.gcu.edu/five_guiding_princi...
