    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    klone replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    You're joking, right? In states where medical marijuana is legal, it's RIDICULOUSLY easy to get a MM card. It's huge business, and there are physicians who will approve it for anyone who can pay the...

    A little ICD-10 humor, especially for outpatient nurses

    klone posted a topic in General Nursing

    I don't always get sucked into a jet engine ... But when I do, I use ICD-10 code:

    Is it true that being a job-hopper is a good thing?!

    klone replied to Cola89's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I stay at a job an average of 2 years. It hasn't seemed to hurt me. I would actually like to stay at a job longer, but I get incredibly bored and restless at the 18-month

    I need to interview a public health or hospice nurse for school

    klone replied to ReallyStalkingNurses's topic in Public, Community Health

    Apparently I have an arrest record for child molestation in Maine. And I'm a guy. Or so I was told by my daughter's Little League "team mom" who did a background search on me based only on my name, in...

    Safe staffing in clinics/office setting?

    klone replied to BDOGGRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I'm not aware of any recommendations, but if there are any, I imagine you could find them at the AAACN

    Question from a patient

    klone replied to misscheerful's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It seems like a ridiculous thing to say, but I'm guessing that she means that (she assumes) you are one of those "woowoo crunchy granola" women who eschew all interventions, have a birth plan, etc....

    BSN to PA?

    klone replied to allisonkhall's topic in General Nursing

    I'm all in favor of NPs, but comparing the clinical education of NP vs PA is apples and oranges. PA clinical requirements are FAR more intensive than NP clinical requirements. I think it's something...

    klone replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    I was actually referring to "facetious" but I apologize. I'm being rude and I don't like to be rude. Good luck with your project. But in all seriousness, requests for interviews for school assignments...

    Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    klone replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Everyone - what she's being threatened with is NOT against the law, it's NOT against labor laws, and it's NOT against the BON. Legally, they CAN do it. And yes, if she refuses, it WOULD be patient...

    Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    klone replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If she works 3-11, and the other nurse works 11-7, that is 16 hours. And yes, it would be patient abandonment to leave at 11 without being able to hand off the patients to another

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    klone replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    This is not accurate. They sure can be fired. And this has been upheld by the Colorado Supreme Court. My understanding is that states can create MORE stringent laws, but not LESS stringent laws, than...

    Working for two hospitals

    klone replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in General Nursing

    I did several years ago. I worked fulltime (3 12s) at one hospital, and PRN for another hospital network. The PRN job required at least one shift per 2-week pay period. Both were L&D. It worked...

    I NEED AN ANSWER!

    klone replied to STXGirl2009's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    But so does every other industry. Therefore, it's not a NURSING question. Maybe she should go to AllHRReps.com and ask over there, then. If you know the answer, why don't YOU answer the OP, then,...

    RVN: Registered Veterinary Nurse, what do you think?

    klone replied to AllisonLeighLVT's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I have no opinion. And if I did, it wouldn't matter because I am not in a position to affect the decision. How is the veterinary ICU different from the veterinary ED? I'm just wondering, if...
