  1. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    NurseJacqui replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Well if a parent can't figure out how to give child Tylenol for fever or put a bandaid on skinned knees and rush them to ED instead maybe they shouldnt be parents. Accountabilty and responsibilty go a...

  2. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    NurseJacqui replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Oh please...it is defintely abused. Medicaid/Welfare/Food stamps, etc is supposed to be a TEMPORARY support system until one can get back on their feet. I know what it is like to be poor and to...

    NurseJacqui replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    What on earth does that have to do with this topic? But since you asked ....I think White Glove staffs LTC facilities with LPNS but I am not

  5. wanting to travel to NYC

    NurseJacqui replied to jellie22's topic in Travel

    Just remember that as a travel nurse you are expected to know what you're doing and are thrown into the fire so to speak.There is no long cushy orientation involved. I have seen nurses without much...

  8. NYC hospitals and diploma holding RNs

    NurseJacqui replied to Lecia's topic in New York Nursing

    A diploma, ADN or BSN graduate take the EXACT same boards. Diploma program is a lot more hands on and can actually be very beneficial. Regardless of what kind of educational training you have, most of...

  9. Inexperienced Nurse Doing ER TRavel?!

    NurseJacqui replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    Oh you better believe I said something..not only to HIM but to management. Their solution is to give him "more time" The ER there is dangerously short staffed but providing a mere " warm body" does...

  10. Inexperienced Nurse Doing ER TRavel?!

    NurseJacqui posted a topic in Travel

    Just got this new nurse traveler and after working and it took me one shift to realize he has NO IDEA WHAT HE IS DOING! So he was paired with me and there were 5 teles, one critical and two belly...

  11. Assignment Nightmare

    NurseJacqui replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    But their rationale is that my contract specified I would be getting paid one amount but they paid me another so in essence it is my fault. I didn't catch the error right away but they said because it...

  12. Assignment Nightmare

    NurseJacqui replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    It has only gotten worse. My recruiter found me a better apt closer to hospital. I did not get the apt # until the DAY I moved in. Then he told me that he had arranged for furniture delivery at 9am...

  13. Assignment Nightmare

    NurseJacqui replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    One thing that I like is that I do not float outside ED and I only work in core, not even express or triage. Not that I mind working in ED periphery but this hospital doesn't let agency nurses do...

  14. Assignment Nightmare

    NurseJacqui replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    Well I am making a little bit of headway. Finally got in touch with guy and he said he is working on the housing right now and will get back to me within the hour. So if that is fixed, it will be OK....

  15. Assignment Nightmare

    NurseJacqui replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    Like I said, I have no choice but to do another assignment with them. I am staying at the same hospital which is fine. I really like the ED I am working in and the people are great(except for that...

  16. Assignment Nightmare

    NurseJacqui replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    My agency is not calling back. When I do get ahold of my contact person he basically yes's me to death and says he will get back to me and never does. I told him I wanted new housing months ago. He...

  17. Assignment Nightmare

    NurseJacqui replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Travel

    It was not meant to be of offense to you. A lot of people on public assistance are hardworking but a lot of them also aren't. I grew up poor and have lived in many poor urban areas and I have never...

  18. License Reciprocity

    NurseJacqui posted a topic in Travel

    I am currently licensed in NJ and need to get a NY license. I am not exactly sure how to go about this. I was also told that NY and NJ have reciprocity? Can someone please tell me what this means?...

  21. Are LPNs nothing but a "set dressing?"

    NurseJacqui replied to Ms.RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I find it amusing that some LPNS believe that the only difference between them and RNS is the ability to hang blood or start an IV. That being an RN merely involves performing a few extra tasks....

  22. Are LPNs nothing but a "set dressing?"

    NurseJacqui replied to Ms.RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Get over it,graduate nurse. Serioulsy I am tired of hearing LPNS complain all the time . I think you are reading into things and I think it is your own insecurity or dissatisfaction with your title...

  24. Holding patients in ER

    NurseJacqui replied to Nursinist's topic in Emergency

    In our ED, the ONLY time a refused report is acceptable is during a code. If for some reason the accepting nurse cannot or will not take report...report is faxed. The pt can go up 45 minutes after the...

  25. Advised not to use security to "intimidate" agitated individual.

    NurseJacqui replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    I feel for the poster. I have been involved in similar situations and our security is virtually useless. Management tries to placate the person acting like an ***, instead of defending their...
