  1. psychotherapy for elderly dementia patients?

    BroadwayRN replied to AlexanderN's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen many doctors order alot of tests on elderly patients with dementia, alzheimers, etc. Usually to r/o a CVA. I mean what is the purpose in that? Especially when the patient is already a DNR...

  2. An Associates Degree Isn't A Real Nursing Degree...Vent!!

    BroadwayRN replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm sorry someone is trying to rain on your parade, not to mention it's your own Grandmother. Call Grandma and tell her how you feel (nicely of course) ASN and BSN, as already mentioned, take the same...

  3. $8000.00 Penalty for Quiting Critical Care Nurse Residency Program Before 3 Years

    BroadwayRN replied to krazykev's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that penalty would be pro-rated. I've known nurses to quit a job and have to pay back a portion of the sign up bonus but not the total, unless of course you quit pretty much right

  4. Life sucks...

    BroadwayRN replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry. It ****** me off to hear about people who don't respect other people's things. It may be just stuff but it's your stuff.

  5. Mistakes we have made

    BroadwayRN replied to LilpoRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    About a year ago I got pulled to the NBN. I took a baby out to nurse about 0200. While that baby was out nursing another new mother called for her baby. I could "not" find her baby. I was in a panic!...

  6. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    BroadwayRN replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, it's not unfortunately, it's tragic. I'm sorry you like facts and figures so much. Did you even read the link I provided. I'm outta here. When you get your UHC and you're in your 70's and can't...

  7. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    BroadwayRN replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Only since you're so fond of the printed word. http://www.liberty-page.com/issues/healthcare/socialized.html#britain I am British. My grandfather died after an MI, needing a CABG, he didn't qualify...

  8. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    BroadwayRN replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't smoke thank you, nor do I believe everything I read. I believe the reality that I have seen. UHC, patients over 70 do not get treated for an MI because they are not tax paying productive...

  9. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    BroadwayRN replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Every bit of evidence from who's perspective? Not mine. Well designed? That remains to be seen. I have taken care of vets and they are not singing the same tune. The bar graphs, etc...are created by...

  10. 10 Excellent Reasons for National Health Care

    BroadwayRN replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1. It's not good for our health, there isn't a single government agency that runs efficiently, do we really want an organization that developed the U.S. Tax Code handling something as complex as...

  11. Private Duty Nursing

    BroadwayRN replied to PeacefulHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was bordering on tacky. Just

  12. What kind of Degree do I need for Public Health Nursing?

    BroadwayRN replied to Inspired1920's topic in Public, Community Health

    A BSN is required to work at the Public Health Dept where I

  13. How often do you get sick?

    BroadwayRN replied to Flare's topic in General Nursing

    The first year I worked I got sick alot but I have seemed to have built up my immunity and get sick now maybe once a year. Last year I got my usual Flu Vac but got the flu anyway. Don't think I've...

  14. HH return to hospital?

    BroadwayRN replied to Iphelix's topic in Home Health

    I'm near NYC as well. I work in a hospital in a busy ED. I don't make anywhere near $74,000. Might want to hang tight in

  15. I just ENrolled for the Excelsior RN-MSN in Informatics

    BroadwayRN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've been considering getting my BSN through EC. I live in New York but I don't know anyone personally who has done their ASN to BSN program. I realize you have your BSN and are going for your MSN...

  16. Any Nursing Agency that hires new RN's w/o experience???

    BroadwayRN replied to batjhong's topic in Agency Nurses

    Not true everywhere. In the hospital where I work (it's an awesome place to work has a very low turnover rate) we greatly appreciate the agency nurses. We run short due to illnesses, vacations, etc...

  17. Had a transvaginal exam, and I'm depressed.

    BroadwayRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I have a best friend who is an ultrasoundgrapher. She tells me that anytime anything abnormal is seen the tech will send the films (it only takes seconds) and then excuse herself briefly from the room...

  18. Ill And Depressed Working Night Shifts

    BroadwayRN replied to lsvalliant's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had to go from nights to weekend days because I became clinically depressed due to a lack of quality uninterrupted sleep. I would rather have changed shifts than take anti-depressants. If I had...

  19. Is it the RIGHT time to come to NYC?

    BroadwayRN replied to Catch-22 RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Since you have 5 years experience you shouldn't have a problem but do check it out thoroughly before making the move. You can even get a job out here before you actually move. Depends on who needs...

  20. Ever been physically attacked by MD? What have or Would you Do?

    BroadwayRN replied to artistnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had one yell at me and cuss me up one side of the hall and back down the other. Administration got several complaints about this doctor cussing out a nurse. He was cussing at me about something that...

  21. I made a med error

    BroadwayRN replied to Curlup's topic in General Nursing

    We all make mistakes, don't beat yourself up over it. You learned a valuable lesson that could next time save you from a more serious situation. Everything worked out and try to look at this as a...

  22. Contributing to a group gift for your NM?

    BroadwayRN replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree it depends on how many people are going in on the gift. I would say $100 gift would be more than sufficient so I would divide by the number of people expected to give and give that much. I...

  23. $1000 Gift ---> How to spend it.

    BroadwayRN replied to Slobgob's topic in General Nursing

    While the gift was very generous, at $15.00 a piece there's really nothing worthwhile to be done with it. Either a gift everyone can use in the office like someone suggested a nice flat screen, but...

  24. Male nurses

    BroadwayRN replied to fsaav's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen it. It is kind of a double standard. Female doctors don't have to have an escort to see a male patient. On the other hand it gets out of control because now a days females come on to...

  25. should I bother with the LPN?

    BroadwayRN replied to talk to the hand's topic in General Nursing

    If you have to take a year or more out of your employment time to get your LPN then I would load up and go 3 semesters a year and Maymester if you have it available and get your RN. LPN's have a hard...
