    Scope of practice ?

    nurse2033 replied to cornettclan's topic in General Nursing

    This is perfect example of management by memo. It seems like a little training would be in order here. (Sorry I don't have an answer for

    If you know someone is going to be fired - do you tell?

    nurse2033 replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    The information is public so go ahead. I'm sure he would appreciate the heads up. It is always possible that it is not his job, perhaps they are hiring another duplicate

    Deleting nurses notes

    nurse2033 replied to Rugford5LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Please contact your Board of Nursing. This is unethical and probably illegal. "Too much of the truth" was the reason given? How pathetic is that? They don't even have the imagination to come up with a...

    I need info! AF & Navy :)

    nurse2033 replied to ElizEub:)'s topic in Government, Military

    I would talk to recruiters. I think the impression they will mislead you is not true. My recruiter didn't say anything that wasn't true. Nursing is very competitive and you will need a year or more of...

    nurse2033 replied to ElizEub:)'s topic in Government, Military

    (Lunah, your statement is not 100% accurate. You need a nursing degree, and bachelors, but you don't need a BSN. I have an ASN and bachelors in music and am commissioned in the AF as a flight

    Finding Medical Practice Laws Pre-Mission Trip

    nurse2033 replied to ltcajh's topic in General Nursing

    This is not legal advice, but in my opinion just stay within your scope of practice and you'll be fine. There is no way any patient is going to sue you. Just as an aside to the type of facilities you...

    Questions about Colorado new RN residency

    nurse2033 replied to Casper5915's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I hate to say it but your best bet is to get a year of job experience first. CO is glutted with new grads who can't break in. If you can get a new grad program then do it at all costs, they are very...

    nurse2033 replied to B_rac777's topic in Government, Military

    Pretty good, you sound like a great candidate. I think your statement is good but I will comment on some minor things I see. Personally I think your paragraphs are too long, I would cut most of them...

    nurse2033 replied to onthemark's topic in General Nursing

    You are being very proactive to think about these issues. You are certified, it is your job to act when appropriate. It is also your job to be ready to act. Do what you are trained to do to the best...

    "Old Timer" Looking For Some Support

    nurse2033 replied to Ol Timer's topic in Government, Military

    Hate to say this but your paramedic skills aren't nursing skills. It might help you against a nurse of equal nursing experience though. I know as well as you that those chops are better in some ways,...

    The manager is most key person in shaping the culture of the unit. If they are good, they usually attract and keep other good people. Bad managers drive away good people very

    duplication of services

    nurse2033 replied to blondeoverboard's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Mandatory reporting of elder issues varies by state. Adult Protective Services would be a good place to start. Although I don't see how you could show neglect based on the information given. You don't...

    Any legal issue there?

    nurse2033 replied to akasu's topic in General Nursing

    You would be working under your own liability in that situation. If something crazy happened they could sue you. To avoid that he should get them out where he got them in. I know some insurance plans...

    RN teacher failing students to "weed" them out?

    nurse2033 replied to xmissxscarlet09's topic in General Nursing

    If you are serious about pursuing this, you'd better be ready for a fight. It sounds as if unfair practices are being used, but of course, even you don't know all the details. Find out the...

    Giving a flu shot to patients without a signed consent?

    nurse2033 replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all the posters who say that many people don't sign consents for vaccines. That has been my experience. However, I just worked on a presentation about the anti-immunization movement and...

    Wilderness first responder?

    nurse2033 replied to thepinkdictator's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it will do much for your resume. If you had a lot of experience to go with it that would be different. I would wait to move and join a rescue org. first. If you get the cert first and...

    nurse2033 replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    nurse2033 replied to dropbears101's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you are over-concerned, the fact is many people are lazy and just don't worry about it. I know nurses that either change before leaving work, or as soon as they step inside their home....
