  1. Is a Surgeon accountable for slander??

    LPN1974 replied to lorster's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, hon, you don't have to take that. Go get yourself a lawyer. And inform the hospital, also.......they are playing along with this doctor if they are refusing you to be charge. This has harmed...

  2. Ever been accused of being an "overcompensator"?

    LPN1974 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    You're not overcompensating. Nothing wrong at all with you having a goal of becoming a nurse. I hope you don't have children by this man, but you did say "support my family". So I hate to say it,...

  9. verbal information

    LPN1974 replied to fangelam's topic in General Nursing

    But it depends on WHO is doing the reporting. Family wouldn't necessarily know what would be in a nursing assessment or a care plan. I think it sounds like a trick

  10. do you feel like the CNA's run the floor?

    LPN1974 replied to babynurse223's topic in General Nursing

  12. verbal information

    LPN1974 replied to fangelam's topic in General Nursing

  16. Incident Report Turmoil (somewhat long)

    LPN1974 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    For scalp lacerations, I always make sure I thoroughly check the wound myself to see if it is gaping open, if it is, to see how deep and long it is. Get a ruler if you must and measure it. If it is...

  17. Man dies after falling out of bed wearing a vest restraint

    LPN1974 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    The last NH I worked in was restraint free. They implemented the use of low beds and pads by the bed in case they fell out. We still had injuries tho, on people who fell, but no deaths from...

    LPN1974 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

  20. verbal discipline and retalliation...(a little vent)

    LPN1974 replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ya know, this is bad. You should not have to put up with this. Your administration is just moving too slow. IMHO they are probably stalling. Personally, I would call the police. Or maybe I would go...

  21. Posted in another forum... no response...please answer

    LPN1974 replied to crb613's topic in General Nursing

    Probably highly unlikely, but wouldn't it be funny if she {the OP} could come back as a staff RN or RN supervisor on that floor where those 2 CNAs work? Not saying that you'd want to make their lives...

  22. Who am I, the HIPPA police?

    LPN1974 replied to ICRN2008's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    LPN1974 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering if I could get some feedback from some of you all. On my job we are allowed to do a "CLIP" project to receive a monetary bonus if the state has the money at the end of the year. I...

  24. It Annoys ME HOW SOME PEOPLE CAN SAY "THEY ARE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY"

    LPN1974 replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in General Nursing

    Gee, there are alot of careers that give more money than nursing. Why not go sell real estate if money is what they want? I don't think that would be as hard as nursing. I'm not judging...
