  1. Faxed signatures of physician orders

    KLKRN replied to Mazzi's topic in Legal

    I think because they fax the unsigned one to the doc and he/she signs it and sends it back. But I would think there would be at least a TORB notation with the nurse's signature on it and the doctors...

    KLKRN replied to Aviationurse's topic in Legal

    I have in the past used vacation time as "terminating vacations" where I used my scheduled vacation time as my 2-week notice in such toxic environments. And as the others have said, it is a toxic...

  8. For those working LNC- have you been questioned about the ethical aspect of this job?

    KLKRN replied to meg5335's topic in Legal

    I think that both responses from RN 1989 and silmas RN are right on target. My own first thought was, also, that those who are concerned about "nurse bashing" might feel insecure about their own work,...

    KLKRN replied to wooh's topic in Legal

    Thanks very much for the info on XP pro vs Vista. My desktop, couple years old, has Vista. Some of my programs don't do well with Vista. I did have an HP Pavilion laptop before. Lasted 5 years. Burned...

  12. financing LNC and tax credit

    KLKRN replied to Vidara's topic in Legal

    I just finished the 6-day seminar this past week and I'd say every penny was money well spent. I got the Sallie Mae loan and my interest rate is less than 9%, which by the way was the interest on my...

  17. I am getting terminated tomarrow

    KLKRN replied to nl2005's topic in General Nursing

    Calling for the ICU bed shouldn't be your responsibility; it should be the charge nurse - at least in my experience (admittedly not ER, but if there's a charge nurse, that's what he/she does). I agree...

  18. What exactly does "per diem" mean?

    KLKRN replied to ljds's topic in Agency Nurses

    newlvngrad: In my experience, almost all registries place you in either nursing home or hospitals, but check out home health agencies, too. I did know of an agency per diem nurse when I worked in home...

    Oops my mistake. I thought I'd stumbled onto a professional site where adults were allowed to come and go and leave comments. I didn't realize this was only for the disgruntled who want to ****** and...

    KLKRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do hope that's tongue-in-cheek, Earle58. Let's not encourage the disrespect we already encounter, but find a positively productive way to counter

  24. Patients who are too lazy to open their own splenda packets

    KLKRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Many hospitals use the Spectralink or similar cellphone system. I personally like it because I'd rather the patient call me on that for a cup of ice than be paged to the desk only to be told "room xxx...

    KLKRN replied to alkaleidi's topic in Legal
