    To code or not to code?--long

    santhony44 replied to PiPhi2004's topic in MICU, SICU

    That's who should have decided. If he wouldn't make a decision, then I'm not sure, legally,what else could or should have happened. I'm sorry everyone had to go through that- you, the physicians, and...

    Would you do it?

    santhony44 replied to jennjen512's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did exactly the right thing. Even without HIPAA, there might be some very good reasons the ex-daughter-in-law should not be

    Not sure which job to take

    santhony44 replied to amberfnp's topic in General Nursing

    If you take the coordinator job, how will that work with your clinicals? Are they willing to work with you on that? If your current employer is very interested in keeping you, and willing to work...

    Hospital Closing maybe Selling????

    santhony44 replied to TX RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would've thought someone would have wanted to buy it out, unless it was too much of a mess, or too much $$ would have to be poured into upgrading the facility. I've lived through a facility closing,...

    ER- HELP: Dumbest reason people go to ER

    santhony44 replied to DachRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I worked with someone once whose mother had a bad tib/fib fracture requiring surgery. She'd put her purse in the floor of her car and got tangled in the strap getting out. I also knew a physician who...

    I'm SOOO Unmotivated!

    santhony44 replied to locolorenzo22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No suggestions (I'd just relax and get plenty of sleep, if I were you) but I wanted to wish you the best. Let us know how it

    Is Professionalism Long Gone???

    santhony44 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Personally, I would be underwhelmed enough to decline the position if

    Nurses: Is your hairstyle a luxury or a necessity?

    santhony44 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've never figured up how much I spend. I just got a cut yesterday, though, with getting my eyebrows yanked out, and that was $30. When I get it colored, every 4 months or so, I usually get a cut then...

    Would You Have Done This?

    santhony44 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Deva, I believe you probably have your friend figured out pretty well. As you know, all you can do now is step back and try to be available when this other "friendship" of hers blows up in her face....

    Would You Have Done This?

    santhony44 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    No, I wouldn't have done it. I can't imagine a real friend of mine expecting me to do it, either. I agree that there is something odd about this relationship. Is it possible that your friend may be...

    getting a job with a narc restriction

    santhony44 replied to ms. papa RN AGAIN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    To the OP: If the clinic position doesn't work out, and that does sound ideal, consider pediatrics. I knew a nurse some years ago who was in recovery who was able to stay in the same facility and who...

    Found my calling!!!

    santhony44 replied to SunnyGaits's topic in General Nursing

    It's great that you found a place you love so much!! I also wanted to add that it's not your fault that things didn't go so well in cath lab. It makes no sense that they would assume that a nurse with...

    help!

    santhony44 replied to 2bManNurse1017's topic in General Nursing

    It's not easy but it can be done. If you have a job which will allow for study time, then you are blessed. Take advantage of that! I agree with BlueEyedRN, you need a counselor who will encourage...

    Possibility of EMT after nursing??

    santhony44 replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say if you're interested, go for it! I talked to a guy recently who is doing this. He said that the EMS training has really boosted his assessment

    What would make you feel appreciated on the job?

    santhony44 replied to LumpyLooRN's topic in General Nursing

    For myself: If someone makes a complaint about something I've said or done, do me the courtesy of actually investigating it and asking me about it before you just assume that they are telling you the...

    What would make you feel appreciated on the job?

    santhony44 replied to LumpyLooRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a really big one. Taking care of the "little" things that can consume way more time and energy than they should can make a really big difference to the staff. That old saying about...

    Should boyfriend help me out?

    santhony44 replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in General Students

    Have you talked to him about it? He may have a budget and financial goals of his own. He may not have eventual marriage in mind at all. Those would both be very good things to know. If you still owe...

    Should there be a 'White Nurses Association'?

    santhony44 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care what color/ethnicity/whatever my co-workers are, as long as they do their jobs. What chaps me is when someone does not do his or her job and, when I have an issue with that, it gets blown...

    Feeling bummed...mixed evaluation by group

    santhony44 replied to WineCountryRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    You can make yourself crazy trying to figure out why you got particular evaluations, and trying to please everyone. Not everyone learns the same way, so no presentation is going to be perfect for...

    Need your opinion, please

    santhony44 replied to ravensrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That works, until the physician looks at you and says "That's not what I said" and refuses to sign. That happens, more than you might think. A lot of facilities have policies that state that nurses...

    Wanted to share a story: The impact of nurses in my Grandpa's death

    santhony44 replied to mslinzyann's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I do believe he knew you all were there, and that he heard what was said for him. I'm happy that you did have that opportunity to be there. Thank you for sharing this...

    Co-workers as patients VENT...please help

    santhony44 replied to ANPNY's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If and when you do get that new job, you will know to start out with boundaries. I've never had quite the problem you have. Maybe because I've made it a point to listen sympathetically for just a bit...
