    Will you work during a Pandemic?

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

    I am not understanding the healthcare model jab either, but if its to say that the ER will be the new primary care-George W already said that when he said there were no medical problems all Americans...

    Education vs Experience

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Airforce1's topic in General Nursing

    I listen to my daughter and her friends use the same wisdom when deciding on continuing their educations; this type of thinking is proactive and doesn't come from a bad place. It sounds like a good...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to marineswife0809's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think LPNs that have been CNAs really need to answer this one....sorry, but I think it is the establishment attempting to further dumb down nursing. What happened to nursing as a

    Straight to MSN?

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

    Straight to MSN? I guess it would depend on what type of MSN you wanted to be....most NP programs want some type of hand's on experience other than clinicals. Most reputable programs won't take you...

    Will you work during a Pandemic?

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

    While many of us will continue to work, H1N1 has for us in the ER been very telling of how people would react in a truly heinous pandemic. It is coming back and truthfully I am not looking forward to...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to KateRN1's topic in Patient Education

    I was recently researching a paper and the advice for those with low literacy was a 3rd grade level. Large font, only a few words in a sentence, space between sentences, pictures, and TIME! Patient...

    How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Well I guess if excessive waiting is detrimental NO CARE WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC! Let's ask the people who are sick what they'd prefer, a wait or no care.

    How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    This is very timely as I write continue to write a healthcare paper about disparities in healthcare and how access to primary care would eliminate much of the cost experienced by hospitals. Just one...

    How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    And yet with all those Canadians waiting, they spend 50% of what we do and have better outcomes and live longer! Maybe if we spent what we do now, but changed the system to primary care and chronic...

    How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, your version of ethics doesn't even come close to how us "majority people" view ethical decision making. The disparities in healthcare will never change unless access to care, education, health...

    How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Well what is truly interesting about our elected officials is that as part of their "serving" their country, healthcare is given for their lives. So at any level, state or federal do you honestly...

    nj requires doctors to complete cultural competency hours as part of their cme, nps and specialty certs also require loads of ceus, i am just not understanding if you are part of the educated why you...

    Should Continuing Education for Nurses be mandatory in all states?

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

    While I understand what you are saying but consider 30 hours over two years. Do CEU really take the time they say they do? For those nurses who do certifications, PALS, ACLS, BLS and ABLS, as well...

    Should Continuing Education for Nurses be mandatory in all states?

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

    Personally the re-certification that is required by facilities is the same rote stuff and shouldn't be counted for CEU(in my opinion). There are so many new technologies, new ways of dealing with...

    Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

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

    You know, as I read that I am 100% on that track! I believe you are right! Definitely an AHA moment! Unfortunately, nursing gets the blame when the "nurse" didn't do what they asked. Which

    Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

    OMG! You aren't kidding! If white would make me leave, I think a ruffled cap would make me change careers

    Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

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

    Sorry, white on guys = orderly, ice cream truck, and Outbreak in my mind. On women I think of those ladies collecting money (dressed in cap and cape) for some fake charity organization, nursing...

    Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

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

    Hate white! Color isn't the problem, we need to eliminate scrubs from the job descriptions of others in the hospital. Real uniforms for housekeeping, golf shirts or street clothes with a hospital...

    How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    A broad base of care at the PRIMARY LEVEL tends to stave off the catastrophic level. Why are we spending so much for emergent and end of life care, when we could've through primary care service...

    Any recent wasteful money spent by this government started with George W and his BS weapons of mass destruction. So much better for the little man to "walk with a big stick", then to take care of its...

    Anyone providing ER care HAS BEEN WORKING IN A PANDEMIC! However, already there are reasons not to trust one's facility. In my ER if you become ill with flu like symptoms you must take off two...
