    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I believe that in all 50 states, it is a requirement to carry car insurance, like it or not. And you have to show proof of insurance to register your car every year. God forbid, you are pulled over...

  6. I finally fell prey to the LTC politicos after a year and a half.....

    lindarn replied to mamarhonda's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    AMEN!!! Forget about worrying about HIPPA! My mantra has been for years, make copies of ALL incident reports, and keep a home file for them. You DO not have to tell anyone what you did- just keep it...

  7. Might not get much of a response....but I'll give it a shot!!:)

    lindarn replied to rkealy's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    You better get in while you can. Many areas are starting to train and hire, Respiratory Therapists to do PICC Line Insertions, Midlines ,etc. Of course, paying them quite a bit less than the RNs who...

  9. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  10. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    In addition to my above comments, WHY are the positions of PICC nurse not being offered to other nurses in the facility? Why is the knee jerk reaction to give a nursing department/position to another...

    lindarn replied to AtivanIM's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I suggest making copies of Incident Reports, because they can and do dissappear if the you know what hits the fan. I did not say to advertise that you are making copies of Incident Reports, just to...

  12. MD screaming at RN's in front of patients regularly

    lindarn replied to AtivanIM's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Document, document, document. Note, day, time, witnesses, etc. I would not be above filming her with my camera phone. Please report this physician to the hospital, Risk Management, and don't forget...

  13. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    We need to go public with this, so the general public can have their say as well. RTs have a two year associates degree as entry into practice. Yes, RNs also have that option. HOWEVER, the education...

  14. Is the military hiring?

    lindarn replied to super4's topic in Government, Military

    Your best bet is to speak to a HEALTH CARE RECRUITER, not a regular recruiter. They have the stats on which is hiring. A couple of years ago, I was doing my annual tour at Madigan Army Medical Center...

  15. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  17. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Since when it in the scope of practice of an RT to place central lines, etc? They are waiting for a response from the nursing community. Nursings' silence is an approval for the State and Hospital...

  18. Respiratory Therapists Inserting PICC Lines

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Another excuse to steal the professional practice of RNs. And RTs were probabley thrilled to have another skill to advance their profession. Are they billing for their services? While an RN is...

    lindarn replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  20. How to respond to mgmt combining 2 high-acuity psych units in order to cut staff

    lindarn replied to Zoom14's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What will it take, for nurses to unionize so we can protect our patients!! No union contract, NO voice for our patients. It is that simple. JMHO and my NY $0.02. Lindarn, RN, BSN, CCRN Somewhere in...

  21. How to respond to mgmt combining 2 high-acuity psych units in order to cut staff

    lindarn replied to Zoom14's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What they are proposing, should be criminal. I would call the State Attorneys General's Office, and file a complaint. Nurses do not use the legal remedies that are available to help them. If more...

  22. How to respond to mgmt combining 2 high-acuity psych units in order to cut staff

    lindarn replied to Zoom14's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Just think- if nurses belonged to a national nurses union, like teacher do, we could put a halt to things like this in a heartbeat. I hope that eveyone has been following the Chicago Teachers strike....

  24. Has anyone taken Vickie Milazzo's Certified Legal Nurse Consultant Course?

    lindarn replied to ANNSY54's topic in Legal

    Vickie's programs are VERY OVERPRICED!! There are cheaper ways to become an LNC. You don't need to take a course to do legal nurse work. You are reading medical records for attorneys and opining if...
