  1. LNC center - Trial Attorney vs. CLNC training

    ebear replied to amyrn5's topic in Legal

    I took the Donna Rooney Course offered by the Legal Nurse Consulting Center, Inc. based in Charlotte, N.C. It is a very comprehensive program and offers 73 contact hours when the test is completed...

    ebear replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in General Nursing

    If I've ever learned one thing, I've learned this in my own life: You will find that God will give you just what you need just when you need it...and not a minute before. My heart and prayers are...

  4. A Physician's disregard for families rights.

    ebear replied to DJ-Adia's topic in General Nursing

    I recently had a similar experience with my dad's doctor. I "fired" him right there on the spot. This doc seems quite fond of himself and needs to be taken down a few notches! I also wrote a letter...

    ebear replied to amy0123's topic in General Nursing

    Amy0123, Perhaps it would be a good idea to make a copy of this nos article to present to the DON. Do not mention your nurse manager's name, just ask for clarification as to how to handle this issue...

  7. Any OR Nurses?

    ebear replied to Lee2584's topic in General Nursing

    Lee, go to the "specialties" tab and scroll down to "Operating Room Nursing". You will find a lot of valuable info. about this field. Good luck! We need good O.R. nurses out here and it isn't taught...

  8. Ever dealt with a hospital merger?

    ebear replied to grace90's topic in General Nursing

    I've lived through it, too. Just lay low and expect management changes regardless of what they tell you. They almost always put their cronies from corporate in those slots, including nurse managers....

  10. can a nurse be fired for not saying "no"

    ebear replied to livewell78's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've never understood why they are called "right to work" states. What they are is "right to be fired"

  11. Your Not Gonna Believe This!!

    ebear replied to feebebe23's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct! DO NOT put your neck on the line by altering charts to make the facility look good! I can't even believe she told you to do such a thing! Do you think that you would be backed up in a...

  12. need advice

    ebear replied to sumatra1's topic in General Nursing

    Why did they lose their accreditation with NLNAC? Wait until the school rectifies the situation. Don't go to an unaccredited school. Employers DO look at this during the hiring

  13. Is Joint Commission more hindrance than help?

    ebear replied to oldiebutgoodie's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I also think they would be better served by not announcing their visits. Most of their "requirements" go out the window after they leave (my experience). While some of their requirements may...

    ebear replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    You need to address your financial questions to a certified financial adviser or CPA. I notice that all of your posts are $$ related. If that is all you are interested in by joining the nursing...

  15. can a nurse be fired for not saying "no"

    ebear replied to livewell78's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think we need some more details about the situation. What was the procedure and pt's. condition prior to procedure, etc. On what grounds did the hospital terminate her? If the doc decided to go...

  16. What would you say?

    ebear replied to Cuddlebugs's topic in General Nursing

    I think they should be available in adult sized bodysuits for nurses who deal with combative patients. They should also have extra padding on the behind and back for dealing with docs who chew your...

  17. Legal implications?

    ebear replied to lucinda1518's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In almost every case, I firmly believe in giving notice also; however, this is an exception. You've only been there 6 wks. and already have another job lined up. No need to risk your license during...

    ebear replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse should have given her title and role; however, I've never had a patient give an O.R. nurse "credit" for anything. They are usually sedated shortly upon arrival to the dept., given versed,...
