    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually you didn't ask me to do that, but it doesn't surprise me that you have no idea who you are replying to half the time. It IS? Thanks for the education! What amazes me is that you don't...

    Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The last estimate I saw was over 95 (yes NINETY-FIVE!!!!) percent. Med mal is quite a bit lower I know, but still way more often than not. I'd take those odds and so do most lawyers who call...

    Which is not what they said in the first place. They said "So no, lawsuit won't happen. Court requires proof." They did not specify they were referring to someone WINNING a lawsuit AT ALL. The...

    Giving me education "very quickly?" No thank you, I spent 22 years since age 5 getting mine. What cereal box did you pull YOUR JD out of? Thank you for proving my point, HONEY. Apparently you have no...

    How did/do you pay for nursing school?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Some of our area's hospitals have removed patient care techs and supposedly increased RN staff. If I had to guess, this is probably in response to RN complaints about techs not doing their jobs. And...

    I agree with all of this, except for finding an attorney to take the case. I really don't think it'd be a

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Wow. You should call the Attorney General. That's obnoxious. My home state has a school that lost their accreditation and crashed and burned. They continued taking students not telling them that they...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You didn't say "won." You said that no one could sue for that, that "the court requires proof." That's lovely, but the court CLERK merely requires a filing fee. Between that and "proof" or dismissal,...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well that brings up a good point. If I was AOX4 and they put a bed alarm on me I'd just reach over and shut if off, LMAO Uh not shut the door? I don't THINK so. Anyone who put that on me would find me...

    Why would I laugh at someone knocking at your door? I knock on every patient's door before I go in the room. Almost all doors are closed because there are no privacy curtains anymore. I still don't...

    And they will sue and make the NH's life hell anyway, win or lose. Anyone can sue anyone for anything, and most courts will allow it to go right on down the road to a certain point and allow all kinds...

    Well good, someone's here with personal experience to explain why you would refuse a bed alarm, specifically? I'm really not understanding how this affects you. If you get up why would it matter if...

    That is totally ignorant on the part of the NH if that was the case. It does absolutely nothing to keep someone from filing a lawsuit, unless something was signed to that effect. People who are going...
