  1. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I do believe that the gov needs a part in health care. Some people will never be able to afford it, or are too old and no longer earning enough etc.. They need to pay for it and set the rules for it....

  2. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I will give you the military and roads, the gov. is not bad at them. But that is what their job is. The gov pumped billions into education with very little improvement, and the post office is going...

  3. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    After all is said and done, the reason I don't like this bill (apart from the fact it won't work) is it is designed to take from one person and give to another. I don't have great insurance, but it's...

  4. Handling New Admits in a Fair Way

    nialloh replied to monicanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I do charge a lot on my unit, and we try to give everyone an admit before we go around again. Also, floats to our unit will usually be the last to get one as they are already uncomfortable on a...

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    This is a false comparison that is always being used. Driving is not a right, it is a privilege. You can be denied it. Also, I am not required to have auto insurance to walk down the street, only if...

  6. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Lamazeteacher. You say that this bill was out there for everyone to read, the doors were wide open. Sorry, they were not. There were so many versions of the bill, and then amendments to those bills,...

    To continue 68's car analogy, if my car broke down, what would I do. I would take it to a mechanic, and have him fix it. He would tweak some things, replace some broken parts, clean out some of the...

  8. Care Aide work vs. RN work?

    nialloh replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in General Nursing

    You just touched on one of my pet peeves. I see many RNs who once they get RN after their name won't do "aide work". They seem to forget, they were trained how to do it for a reason. While it is the...

  9. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    You have the right idea that something has to be done, but I don't think price caps anywhere will do it. This will result in services being dropped or turned down as too expensive. Medical care has to...

    LOL

  11. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    We know that a lot of the Senators and Congressmen didn't read the bill as they said it themselves. They went on TV and out and out said it. Also when questioned on it, they didn't know what was in...

  12. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    So, am I to take it from your comment, we are never to question the gov. Or ask them what new laws they are writing. Or whats in them. We are the People. We voted the politicians in, and they work for...

  13. worried wont be able to keep job!

    nialloh replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    This happens quiet often on my unit. You have to look at it from your Nurse Managers position. She IS losing you anyway. You are trained and experienced on her unit, and want to go prn. This may mean...

  14. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I got what you voted for too. And I'm fine with that. Majority rules. This is America, and unlike most Americans, I chose to be here. It is still the greatest country in the world. But...

  15. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    While 605m$ sounds like a lot of money, it's not. In north NJ, all the hospitals around mine recive zero charity care dollars. Also the hospitals that recive the most, a number have just shut down.....

  16. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    nialloh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I am afraid of this bill. I believe it will lower the quality of health care while pushing up the cost. In NJ, charity care is nearly nonexistent, and medicare only pays a fraction of the cost. The...

  17. for NJ nurses..

    nialloh replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    I got my license in 01, and it took aprox 1 1/2 months to get the physical license. I did get the letter after a few days, and that was good enough to work under (I think for 90

  18. Pay Scales

    nialloh replied to Lisa, MA's topic in General Nursing

    It is not only Education or Title we are being paid for. It is also responsability. If you mess up with the pt, even though you do most of the hands on care, the RN will be held accountable. In the...

  19. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    nialloh replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    This is the second time something like this has happened that I saw. The other one I also posted on this thread. (I looked it up) If you trip and cut your pacemaker site on a branch, it might fall...

    If your 96 year old father is on his last legs, don't take him to Hospital and then go on vacation. He might not be there when you come

  21. BP question for CNA job

    nialloh replied to DanainOrlando's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a cardiac unit. For a B/P of 60/40 we would call a rapid responce. As the last poster said, this is a life threatening level, and time is of the essence. Call

  22. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    nialloh replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Also, you have to think, if it wasn't a dog he killed, would he have tried to kill the officer. He did jump off a bridge, so I don't think he

  23. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    nialloh replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    Don't hit your Big Irish nurse in the head with your tele monitor. He will pick you up, put you on your bed, and you will find yourself in 2 point restraints before you can...

  24. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    nialloh replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was thinking, maybe the nurse was a visiting nurse and the pt was confused. She would be able to ID herself, and would be able to insist on transport to hospital. - Just throwing out ideas.

  25. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    nialloh replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I agree. The dog is a 4 legged cop. If they killed or hurt the dog, they would have tried the same with a human cop. So I don't see a reason for a different
