I am not only a nurse but have had a career as an Administrator too. This is my soap box about LTC; 1. We can all continue to voice our frustration about LTC, this is what we have been doing for decades. Now for solutions 1. Contact ...

I am a case manager with the VA. I do the same for veterans as I would my own civilian patients. Within the VA the big focus is 30 day readmissions.

Ugh.... as a case manager I have never had to "enroll" new customers. I would have left a long time ago. To answer your thoughts about public health and getting into the administration side of nursing..... I would look for state opportuni...

I know this is 8 weeks late but here goes...... Although those questions are valid, I am not sure why they were asked in a interview forum unless it was a follow up interview. We use Interqual and Milliman criteria. This criteria is reviewed ag...

I have a masters in health care administration, and computer information management

The end of this week I am taking the CM test for the first time. I have been studying but my tummy is upset. I am told as long as you study and take the practice test you should be OK, what have been your experience taking this exam for the first ti...

Healthcare employees who get "walked off" in corrections deviate from safety rules/policies. Some of those rule breaking rules result in a felony and you your self can go to jail/prison. If you are a person with boundaries that change or a person who...

After reading your concerns I as a manager most of my career I would not feel you lack of med/surg experience would hold you back. Yes Utilization Review/Case Management would serve you well. In these roles you come across alot of things you need to ...

Community health nurse

From what I know of the new designation it is like a case manager but focus is on the affordable care act (also know as metallic plans/Obama Care), you work to keep costs down and usually in a designated team.

Late to this thread but thought I would reply. In 2004 there were 66 emotional support dog complaints of which 57 were found to be related to "other disabilities" meaning they could not show proof of disability in the end. In 2011 there was 466 comp...

Sorry this is late did you pass?

I like ANEMONE it means wind. Ava works too I like it!!!

No need to get upset, Just tell your boss I did my job AND even allow collaboration with this nurse as she picked her patient whom she complained about, not my monkey not my circus, you need to speak with her about her attitude, she needs to make thi...

I took my test this morning.....I passed!!! Yes I agree I used the books, took a workshop and after taking the test was surprised I could have just completed the practice tests. I do think by the time we take this test we are already well versed in ...

PC...get real. This song I agree with what others wrote it is an innocent song nothing more. I love watching James Bond this time of year the old ones (I am sure these will be a topic too to get rid of). Oh my what next are they going to be verboten...

In the prison system we teach the offenders any where there is fat deposits. I had a guy whose knees were fat...yes he injected there says it was better than the back of his arms and tummy. Had another man who liked to inject in his neck area...yuk,...

I think mid level management is the worst job to have in todays environment and here is why I was an Executive Director (Nursing Home Administrator) the average salary is about 150,000 annually I worked my tail off and there was one time I calculated...

You said they had a trial so the dietician and MD should know what that trial revealed. Stand your ground because if something is amiss it will surely fall on you. I would not set my own trial unless I had orders from the MD to titrate until the agr...

I would get clarification of BP for 90 patients daily. If so I break it down into manageable can you do 30 each shift or say 45 each shift and do you have an aid to assist? This clearly is puzzling and really a patient concern because those darn BP ...

really sound advice form other seasoned correctional nurses. When I was in corrections I never really had any issues about providing care until I came to the state where I was a contract worker. You are there for no frills medical nursing care. Do...

I have sent nurses to other floors at various times during the shift as long as they have the skills for that floor. Are they mad at me yes but I have no choice in the matter, nursing must be covered. I have been assigned to other floors as well, I h...

There is a great article that is a good short read from the BBC Why do people swear? - BBC News "The emotional release from swearing has been measured in a variety of ways. It turns out that swearing helps mitigate pain. It is easier to keep an arm i...

Oh hugs to you. First off what you did for that patient was above and beyond duty. I would have gotten a sitter (maybe not available where you are), I would have talked to the provider about this patient emotional outburst and perhaps gotten somethi...

"To make a long story short... BOOM! I failed my 2nd LPN to RN bridge course by 1%. I'm devastated, pissed, blah blah blah. Next day, I called my school and asked whats next? I was given two options: restart where I left off or start from the beginni...
