  1. QA Nurse changing my Oasis answers!!

    gauge14iv replied to PCUSheryl's topic in Home Health

    I wouldn't want my sig on something that was not mine. Would you blindly sign a chart note you had not written without seeing it? The same concept applies here. If she is going to change it then SHE...

    gauge14iv replied to PCUSheryl's topic in Home Health

    Couple of things to consider - 1. Just like you SHOULD take every tax deduction on your tax return to which you are legally allowed, so should your agency take every item of reimbursement which they...

    gauge14iv replied to panzyo3's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just for future reference - a pregnant woman can be vaccinated against Hepatitis A & B if there is some reason to believe she may have risk of exposure. Heptavax B is a killed virus vaccine and...

    My grandmother is an assisted living/LTAC - She tells us about trips to the local Frisch's Big Boy (which is no longer in existence), the Furr's cafeteria (which is) and how people are always taking...

  6. Real People Denied Healthcare

    gauge14iv replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Exactly - that is precisely the problem - they can advocate all they want - but if there are only 50 providers and there are 20,000 patients - there isnt anything any ombudsman can

  7. Real People Denied Healthcare

    gauge14iv replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I dont know what taxes are like there in Canada - could someone from Canada answer that question? For instance for the average nurse, what would be the percentage of your income that you would pay in...

  8. Any nursing programs that do not require an entrance exam?

    gauge14iv replied to sheridan3456's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I awlays have to wonder when a potential nursing student wants to avoid an entrance test - afterall, it is the first of literally hundreds of such tests you will take over the course of your nursing...

    gauge14iv replied to nrsbetrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Somewhere is a group of little old men who crawl in the windows as they whisper "panty raid!" in the middle of the night... Could the resident be loaning them to a roomie or friend? Perhaps a lock on...

    gauge14iv replied to sirena1481's topic in Texas Nursing

    Working conditions for nurses in Dallas-Fort Worth tend to be good, pay is high, and cost of housing tends to be low. Lizz, if you think you know so much about Texas. why don't you actually come work...

  11. Moving to Allen,TX need info

    gauge14iv replied to jjsc0204's topic in Texas Nursing

    PARTS of Allen and McKinney are that way - however, there are certainly very affordable places to live out there too! And lots of them. Wouldn't live in Anna for my own personal reasons - but that...

  12. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    gauge14iv replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    Not here they don't - they do a 12 week program at a local tech school or community college. There is no 2 year degree for a CMA in Texas - sorry. Nothing like nursing. In fact they don't even HAVE to...

  13. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    gauge14iv replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    Texas is not in the process of enacting a law protecting the title Nurse - it is already protected in the Texas occupational code. It is illegal to call yourself a nurse in Texas if you do not hold a...

  16. Pick up Malpractice! They went after my license.

    gauge14iv replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    State boards of insurance and state laws (such as liability caps) will also affect what insurance can be purchased or is needed from state to state. They also govern rates to some degree. Florida is...

  17. TWU BS? not BSN?

    gauge14iv replied to hunnybaby24's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know plenty of "BSN's" and "BS with a major in Nursing's" who have gone to law school, gotten teaching certificates etc - it truly does not matter. What matters is does your degree meet the core...

  18. North Lake/El Centro - Fall '06!

    gauge14iv replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    I have had several patients have their GB's out in the past few months (they seeem to come in groups) and all of them were back at work in a few days! It isn't the major ordeal it used to be - they...

  19. Licence renewal

    gauge14iv replied to ICURN7's topic in Texas Nursing

    It isn't an endless search - and you may get incorrect information someplace else - I do know someone that that happened to - and she went without a license for several days as a result and could not...

  20. Question on laptop

    gauge14iv replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A word about vista - doesn't connect to win 2k server - that straight from microsoft - so it wouldnt connect to wireless at work or home or school. No printer drivers for just about every printer out...

  21. Licence renewal

    gauge14iv replied to ICURN7's topic in Texas Nursing

    All of the information you need about license renewal is right there on the BNE website - including information about CEU's, first time renewals etc. That should be the only resource you should...

  22. TPAPN:a Four Letter Word?

    gauge14iv replied to 1964RNfromTX's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would hope that's not true - every nurse in Texas is resposable for knowing what it is. In fact both nursing schools I attended had someone come and give a lecture. If it doesn't appy to you, it...

  23. Anyone heard you are going to need ACNP to work in hospitals?? Help!

    gauge14iv replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    See - even the things I do in the hospital - don't include ANY of that stuff. All that stuff would definately be outside my scope of practice as an FNP without training in those things. Frankly - I...

  24. TWU BS? not BSN?

    gauge14iv replied to hunnybaby24's topic in Texas Nursing
