    Patients on Medicaid

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

    You are right you don't have to do anything.... Last night as I left my father in law in the hospital, I heard young nurses arguing with their CNA's that they didn't go to school for 4 years to wipe...

    Patients on Medicaid

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

    This was an ugly thread in August, and it's tone certainly has not changed. Any country that doesn't take care of it's poor doesn't deserve to be a world leader. It is a moral obligation of the haves...

    Confused about salary and hourly pay adding up......

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to kgh31386's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't be a nurse for $18 per hour, too much responsibility and knowledge needed to be safe for the patients and safe for ourselves. New grads two years ago in NJ making $29-31 per hour. Money is...

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

    I would check with my HR....and my state laws. In many states, policies must be gone over with an employee, the employee signs acknowledging receipt of such. I would also ask when this policy went...

    How long is too long....dead body

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Jack39's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient in the picture was that of the complaintant it appears that he may be monitored. It is possible that there were no other places to put the surviving patient. Perhaps he required...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Best approach to patients and relatives complaining about "long wait."

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to uniquenurse's topic in Emergency

    Whether she walked in or was brought in by EMS. Based on HER presentation, Elthia would have been brought straight to a room or to our triage area(beds and monitors there) right away-registration is...

    Nurses writing up nurses?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    I guess my point is that it appears that the OP was "written up" and per her this "write up" goes in her file. That is not an incident report. My understanding of incident reporting is, that it...

    Nurses writing up nurses?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    While reporting may seem like a good idea...the writer of the report had no way of knowing what the reportee's day entailed. Incident reporting is important, but unless the nurse mentioned in the...

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