I too want to thank the OP for posting this topic. It is by far one of my favorites debates to read so far. We are all a little wrong. We are all alittle right. The standards are in the middle and we all have the goal to stay as close to them as pos...

I don't agree with it and understand your concern. You need to document the time legally in a one hour time frame/ 5pm meds should not be given before 4pm and not later than 5pm without changing the MAR to reflect the change.

Your vent is understandable. You did what was reasonable and appropriate with unfortunately a poor unreasonable outcome. Hindsightedness always comes too late though. Live Learn.

UOW is University of Wyoming. The cheapest brick and mortar University with an on-line RN to BSN program that has been reported on here. Sad to hear about the problems...sigh.

MOM is over rated. HOT PRUNE JUICE IS THE BOMB

I took care of a famous author in their home for a few weeks and it was a wonderful experience. They really didn't need an around the clock RN, but could afford the pleasant convenience.

It is so shocking I was thinking about it at work today. Keep us posted. It is just too wrong to describe. If they canceled your insurance because they knew you would need it, they should simple GO TO JAIL....GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL...... Keep us posted....

If their temp is 104 will you give a Tylenol? It is the same principle really. I don't consider the doctors order aggressive but prudent. Just my opinion if it ws my MOM so to speak.

Well I think it is better, but still alittle rough. Glad you backed her in a corner and taped her mouth shut. Good for you. At least you Got the Lords birthday off so you can see your family at a good time.

I am in retail and to call in the day AFTER Thanksgiving means you probably shouldn't return to work. I was late last year and got docked two days tardy. WHY DO people shop at 4 AM anyway? The sales are no better than the following Saturday on half t...

You obviously work on a floor that is well oiled and nurse friendly. If you can set your patient goals and MEET them it is the most satisfying place to work.

Here in Nevada it is not illegal to cam-record people in the bathroom............

As far as criticl thinking goes, I am with you 100%. My problem is the forms themselves hold up in court better than nurses do. That is why the OP is disgusted. So even if I and the patient chose to override the form most institutions have a release ...

Your an angel.

I have one thing to say ....woe. Dagger in my heart. Imustbecrazy, is not crazy she is right.

You might check for some legal advice as well as the local media for a public opinion poll.

I agree he had no idea how to treat the hypertension and diabetes, but some of these patients were so out of control they needed a consult. It was hard to get him to address these problems. This was probably the only time some of these folks even saw...

I lived under the Golden Gate Bridge on Fort Baker for a few years and the stories about the bridge were predominantly about suicide. There was also a cliff on the other side of Fort Baker that was used. I almost fell off it once, but some friends gr...

I think these are more and more common. Especial since the "Vacation"...opps I mean " Medical Conference" is a total tax right off. Why do you think most medical conferences are in New Orleans or Las Vegas.?

I thinkl the whole problem is disrespect. The CNA was talked down to and made to feel like she was an insignificant pee-on. My proof. Why does the manager need for the OP to reveil the name of the CNA. She can't even remember who the team member wa...

If you read it all. Two employees WERE apparently forced and held down to take the FLU shot, but they refuse to pursue charges. This unfortunately makes us wonder if these two employees are being forthcoming with the facts. Most of us here know exact...

Sounds like the mobbing thread. The wicked can't rest till they see someone fall. Good move............. leaving. Fighting this behavior is draining and frankly is a stinky cloud that never really goes away.

I agree referring to them and us as licensed and unlicensed staff is more professional than professionals. In my opinion CNAs are professionals. That is just my opinion. Medical Assistants refer to themselves as professionals on their websites and th...

I am surprized that JCAHO is requiring a primary care approach over a team approach which is what they are doing. I am surprised your still reporting like a team instead of primary, I thought most places had switched over. I prefer giving report on t...

I hate it when people wont press charges due to all the mental anguish and fear of some kind of retalitory mobbing, but I suppose you can't blame them....Even if they could get rich and quit their job. I just wouldn't want to work for a place with a ...
