  1. JACHO is a JOKE

    PMHNP10 replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    So what you are saying is that JOKO has now added their own acronym to the list of naughty abbreviations. Finally a step in the right

  2. JCAHO....They're Here...

    PMHNP10 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I'd agree, but wouldn't it be fun to corner one of them and take them to task, like they do hospital staff, over truly adressing patient safety--just to watch them squirm like the worms they

  4. JACHO is a JOKE

    PMHNP10 replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

  7. JCAHO....They're Here...

    PMHNP10 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    if you have the misfortune of running into them could you hand them my letter asking them when they will undertake the patient safety task of safe staffing? I still haven't received a

  8. going to school and the news of recession

    PMHNP10 replied to blah blah's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused...how does the economy have anything to do with going to school? Are your investments going to be used to pay for classes? I'm pretty sure a recession won't put nurses out of work...

  9. Which job do I take?

    PMHNP10 replied to casperx875x's topic in General Nursing

  10. Long Term Effects of Marijuana Use?

    PMHNP10 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

  13. "Escorted" out of work

    PMHNP10 replied to spaniel's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  14. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    PMHNP10 replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

  15. Help with this doctors order....

    PMHNP10 replied to Melandru's topic in General Nursing

    maybe I'm missing something, but isn't 20 gr=1200mg if using 60mg/gr; and I'm pretty sure gr. is how phenobarb is commonly ordered So I don't think you'd kill the patient if it's a QD dose, but if...

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in General Nursing

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I assume 302 is starting the involuntary inpatient admission process? OT: You present an interesting case...on the one hand, it doesn't sound like the person is imminently suicidal because this has...

  20. Allowing suicide vs. not allowing suicide????

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

  22. Allowing suicide vs. not allowing suicide????

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

  23. Allowing suicide vs. not allowing suicide????

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

  25. Allowing suicide vs. not allowing suicide????

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing
