Hi everyone. New telephone triage nurse at a private company here! How many of you guys need to obtain licensure in every state? Since we have participants nationwide this is a requirement for me....
Anyone in the field of Telephone Triage Nursing or Telephonic Disease Management know of any upcoming conferences/seminars/educational opportunies that sound interesting? I'm having a hard time...
Thanks! And that one is in my backyard too! As for area of interest, I'm pretty open at this point. Our company has a new budget for education. Anything that I can bring back to the call...
We've had a number of new (big) contracts implemented since January, so we're seeing quite a bit more calls. It seems to me that there is a lag period sometimes when a new client is signed. Takes...
Thanks movealong. I ran across that one but didn't see any info for the 2004 seminar. I'll keep my eye out for info on it. I'm also looking for anything on CAD, HF, HTN, DM, COPD or chronic pain...
That is just ridiculous IMHO! Lots of other things the hospital could be focusing on and they choose this! Just one more reason I don't miss the hospital. hat really stinks for you guys. Which...
Alright mister, just because you have a newborn taking up every spare moment of your time doesn't mean you can just leave us hanging like this. jadednurse, who hopes Dave knows how much he's...

...over the lack of compassion and caring some have regarding chronic pain conditions... What WILL it take for some to understand that not everyone complaining of pain is a drug
Thanks Dave. I think you're right about the childbirth analogy you posted earlier. That's how I read it too. It's funny, we have a chronic pain disease management program where I work. Boy how some...
LMAO Dave! Well, back to the topic at hand. What will it take... For starters, people need to see a loved one die a slow and painful death from lung CA w/ bone metastasis...and have the nursing staff...
I must have missed something. I didn't realize functioning as a volunteer moderator precludes me from having any opinions of my own or joining in a dsicussion, or starting a discussion for that...
I saw it, I just didn't believe you meant it. Your post may have read "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...but that's just ME" when, at least to ME, it really implied ... "I've had painful...
I completely agree it's wrong, but I'm just curious...what's the patient going to do, sue? For what? Psychological damages? I thought you don't have a malpractice case unless you can first...
Bravo for you. But the point you're missing is that people have different pain threshholds. What's the point of this? So, if Sean's pain can be managed w/ this regimen, so can everyone elses?
