    The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    klone replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I quit reading this thread after I read that. Now I'm back at it, because I'm bored. And now that I've read through the rest of the thread, I am reminded why I quit reading

    Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    klone replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    If they have specialized tele training, I see no problem. Tele techs do it all the time, and they aren't licensed. They're simply a PCT with specialized training. And by "interpret" - nobody actually...

    Anyone ever fail Kaiser’s New Hire Tele Exam?

    klone replied to ck1cqc's topic in General Nursing

    I did, but since I was hired into OB, I didn't give it much thought (they didn't care). I would be concerned if you are hired into the tele department and you can't pass the tele test. That would be...

    How to deal with management who "disciplines" you for no good reason?

    klone replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Also, being late, even if it's a "good reason" SHOULD be disciplined if it's a pattern of behavior. It's not

    How to deal with management who "disciplines" you for no good reason?

    klone replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have anything else to add, just want to say my colleagues above said exactly what I was going to say. It sounds like your clinical lead was trying to be friendly, get to know you, maybe...

    Prenatal Clinic vs. Doula - Which volunteer position should I choose?

    klone replied to PinkRose34's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Bummer about the clinic, because I think that would be a fantastic experience. But like Libra, I loathe "crisis pregnancy centers" so there is no way I would go

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Based on the court document posted above, it looks like she was. I'm assuming that defendants A-K are nurses who were in the chart of the mom during labor, and the infant

    Employers' Background Investigation (i.e. social media)

    klone replied to Guest 1152923's topic in General Nursing

    That's different. Hiring managers can and do search people's names on social media and dig around in their profiles, completely outside of the formal background check. When I applied for a...

    Quitting without notice?

    klone replied to Ovarychiever's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I would recommend not giving notice is if you're still on orientation. If you're already numbered in the staff, and they're counting on you, then the respectful thing to do is give 2...

    Burnt Bridges Due to Reference Check

    Just Got Hired But Want to Go Per Diem in Order to Travel RN

    klone replied to EatCake2Day's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! My understanding of MAP was limited to just knowing what the acronym stands for. That was interesting to learn.

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    As to why the plaintiff latched onto the ransomware as being the reason for the infant's death - because suing the individual nurse for negligence for not properly monitoring the strip is not as...

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    There are always adverse events related to not properly monitoring the strip and being able to interpret the fetus's wellbeing from the data in the strip. But that happens WITH central monitoring as...

    Were you a bully in high school?

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never said they were unnecessary. They allow the RN to be able to watch what's going on without being in the room, and they offer remote capability so a clinician can pull up and look at the strip...

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    WANT to? No. But that's kind of what you do if you don't have a central monitor. With Pitocin going, the nurse should be checking the strip and charting on it at least every 15 minutes. The...

    How to Choose Facilities?

    I'm unclear which one you chose - 1, 2, or 3? If it's 3 (the one with the lower volume) how are you going to manage that

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    klone replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's rare, and no, they're not unreliable. If their machine with paper strips was working, there is no reason why they could not have identified fetal distress. Central monitoring wasn't...

    Hourly vs Salary
