  1. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    woody62 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Question. Who gets to decide who is mentally and/or physically challenged? You? Me? A group of lay people? A judge? My date of diability was November 29, 1988. I have been receiving SSDI since...

  2. Nurse fired for calling police

    woody62 replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    I have to take issue with our right to call the police to handle an out of control family member. Sorry folks, we cannot just call the police. It is occurring on private property. Private property...

  3. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    woody62 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It depends on your coverage. If your private insurance covers you outside of the U.S. then they could be billed. I have no private insurance, only Medicare. Medicare does not pay for any treatment...

    woody62 replied to Teleflurry's topic in General Nursing

  8. Prayer at work??

    woody62 replied to ski4life's topic in General Nursing

    Tweety, when someone takes my hand, without first asking me, I really don't care what his reason is, he is committing battery on me. I didn't ask nor did the nurse in question, ask or was asked, to...

    woody62 replied to ski4life's topic in General Nursing

    If I am understanding the incident and issue correctly, the nurse, in question, objected to her hand being grabbed and included in something she did not believe, without ever being asked. It makes...

  12. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    woody62 replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Let's see, I began my nursing education a year before Medicare/Medicaid was passed. Prior to then, if you didn't have the money, you didn't see a doctor unless it was an emergency. Surgery? You...

  13. Nurisng Injuries and Workers Compensation? Please need advice!!

    woody62 replied to lpnornot's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am sorry but trying to ambulate a 450 pound patient with just two people is, well, stupid. Sorry to be so blunt but there is no way that I would ever attempt to ambulate such a morbidly obese...

  14. Just watched "Hopkins" and I have a question!

    woody62 replied to glamgalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming that they send the two physicians to do a proper organ removal. Unless the surgeons have transplant experience, one doesn't just go in a cut the organ out and transport it....

  15. Tired of impaired nurses

    woody62 replied to epipusher's topic in General Nursing

    Too many nurses believe that a patient who is dependent on pain medications is an addict. And they couldn't be more incorrect. Too many of us have an incorrect understanding, based on old knowledge,...

  16. Hospital bullies affect patient safety

    woody62 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, we, as nurses, have tolerated the bad behavior of others for too long. I have never accepted bullying from anyone, not another nurse nor a physician, nor even a patient or his family....

  19. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    woody62 replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe you have an issue with my belief in God. You have a problem with the Christians, in your community, and their proselyting, as well as your facility's rule allowing staff to go to...

  20. Feasible to do Homecare without a car?

    woody62 replied to freedom22's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for the Brooklyn VNA back in the 1970's. All over Brooklyn. And I used the bus and the subway. Using a car??? You will waste too much time trying to find legal parking. And/or paying for...

  21. Should families be present during a code?

    woody62 replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that those of us who support a family member's presence, during a code, support just that, one family member. And most of us support a staff member accompanying that family member. I don't...

  22. Who Cares About Nursing Theorists?

    woody62 replied to dlo's topic in General Nursing

  24. Jury Duty vs Duty to Hospital

    woody62 replied to transkat's topic in General Nursing
