    Asap Help!!!

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to alibaba123456's topic in General Nursing

    Definately, you'll find the one thing you can count on with a hospital HR is non-action. You have to be the aggressive one! Good Luck

    Foreign patient with greencard only staying in U.S. for 'free' medical care

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

    Charity begins at home, or so they say. How many people in this country, including those who have served this country, lived and worked in this country, and are born citizens are denied simple care...

    Well I don't have an ethical issue but I need to discuss one !

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to aphi~gn's topic in General Nursing

    How about treating patients without insurance, or better yet foreigners without insurance. How much should be spent? Should their lives be saved by organ transplants, chemotherapy or surgery if no...

    "fan out and go" + alchohol

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Back to caller ID....honestly, if you are in no shape to drive, you are in no shape to work. I just don't think it is anyone's business what you do with your time.

    Just don't know what to do anymore!!

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to foxc1121's topic in General Nursing

    Your nurse manager is taking advantage of your newbie status. RUN, DON'T WALK! It's one thing to have an occasional extra patient, its another to have it every shift. It's not safe for the...

    *Sigh* How do I tell my family?

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

    I've read your post several times and understand your frustration. It's hard to want something, but have responsibilities that tie you down. I have sent this link to my daughter because I believe it...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to RNLola035's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    will anyone ever hire me

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

    I agree with the others, all employers care about is your license. My concern would be your instructor. Unless you had other problems, I'd wonder if that instructor had a clue. Even experienced...

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

    unless you are being funny....we agree to disagree. otherwise, i see your attitude as the reason nurses aren't seen as professionals, but as the maid-or nursing is just a job. i am not satified to...

    EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting question.....I would imagine if no male was available. You'd have several options. Refuse and live with the consequences. Insist your physician did it(what if it's a female?). or...

    Will you work during a Pandemic?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am hoping that wasn't sarcasm. Seriously, a physician may write an order for medication...I am responsible for the conditions it is given under. I make lots of suggestions to our doctors based on...

    What is the Vocera communication system?

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

    Vocera is a walkie/talkie type device with smart technology....that works SOMETIMES. It's the size of a small cell phone, ours are worn on either a neck string or clip. It is usually voice activated,...
