   Comfort or death?

   MAISY, RN-ER replied to jslcsansom's topic in Patient Medications

   Anything that allows someone to pass in comfort is a good thing....they wouldn't need comfort care if they weren't going to die. Medications are not given to kill someone-I am not sure where you are...

   The Theorist Martha Rogers

   MAISY, RN-ER replied to dayshapestano's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   Patient fx hip after family refused alarm

   MAISY, RN-ER replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   Since we really didn't have a lot of information-I will blame the nursing home. The admission nurse documented family informed consent and refusal. An automatic trigger should go off under these...

   Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

   MAISY, RN-ER replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   MAISY, RN-ER replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   Georgetown's program is online learning; however involves set classroom time-you must be on the webcam and attend the class like all of the on-campus students. Online learning is hard and in my...

   Are online ANP degrees destroying our credibility?

   MAISY, RN-ER replied to jilljw's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

   In case there are PAs or medical students perusing this site, I will also add that working in a teaching hospital truly opens your eyes to the standards (or lack thereof) by which all are oriented,...

   "Old", New Grad still trying to break into the Hospital scene...

   MAISY, RN-ER replied to NorCalRN85's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   Look for an internship or externship at your local hospitals NOW!!!! Although you will be graduating, this may give you an edge as this is usually 3mos of paid training (not at an RN rate). Normally,...

   MAISY, RN-ER replied to purpletouch's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I know you are in school and they are still preaching about the nursing shortage, but it does not exist in NJ! I know of nurses who can't find work who are experienced much less all of the new...

    Also work on a non-smoking campus; have smoked in my life-but was always cognizant of others and did not smoke around non-smokers. Glad I haven't smoked for a very looooooong time. That being...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While the RN has to answer for having the task done, the ancillary staff is to help facilitate getting it done. In the ER, clinical technicians positions are to do ekg, phlebotomy, and assist with...

    Dealing With Insurbordinate/Arrogant Co-Workers

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ancillary staff answer to you....plain and simple. Write him up as many times as it takes; refuse him as your staff member; report him to patient safety or risk management. That attitude, behavior...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Zookeeper44's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to believe it was just who they know, but it's obvious when I look at the new hires in my ER and they are all young with BSN's to boot! If you have a younger person, they are still so unsure...

    Nurses' image set back 100 years

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to tntrn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Everyone is going to block colors, because they can! It's an employer's market and color coding is more recognizeable to the patient. HOWEVER, I will say your bargaining unit should then push for...
