  1. Allowing suicide vs. not allowing suicide????

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    right, we have the right to destroy our lungs which could result a long agonizing death; we have the right to walk out of an ER with rebound RLQ ab pain, but if we want to put a gun in our mouth and...

  2. Allowing suicide vs. not allowing suicide????

    PMHNP10 replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    that was the example that was coming to mind for me to, so why can't a severely depressed person with no hope for the future refuse treatment not only do we not allow these folks to refuse treatment,...

  3. Attention: Philippines nurses - there is no nursing shortage in America

    PMHNP10 replied to oneproudigorot's topic in Philippines

    I did? I assure you I've never made any such assumptions. I simply asked questions because I have never been outside North America and thought it'd be interesting to learn something about other...

    PMHNP10 replied to oneproudigorot's topic in Philippines

    oops...my bad :sofahider so to the op...yes you should come to america, but perhaps it is a good idea to learn the fine art of negotiation upon or prior to your arrival if you aren't familiar with...

  5. Attention: Philippines nurses - there is no nursing shortage in America

    PMHNP10 replied to oneproudigorot's topic in Philippines

    but are foreign born nurses as likely as American nurses to negotiate, or do they take the initial "market-rate" offer? I know as an American nurse I never jump on the initial offer because I know...

  6. Attention: Philippines nurses - there is no nursing shortage in America

    PMHNP10 replied to oneproudigorot's topic in Philippines

    Ok...you kinda answered my question after I started to compose my post, but before I got to post it; so if I understand, it is your opinion (and the opinion of others you work/talk with) that foreign...

  8. Traveler tax loophole!

    PMHNP10 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's interesting...so according to your post I wasn't as off as I thought. The travel agency my wife and I work(ed) for called the "Per Diem Allowance" referred to it as a "tax free housing, meals...

  9. Attention: Philippines nurses - there is no nursing shortage in America

    PMHNP10 replied to oneproudigorot's topic in Philippines

  10. Is it right to try to negotiate pay?

    PMHNP10 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    PMHNP10 replied to worstnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    although this isn't the point of your thread, i do agree with your first statement. as for the remainder of your post, i agree with that too, and it's nauseating that folks are ok with performing...

  13. Traveler tax loophole!

    PMHNP10 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe as a rule of thumb you have to live at least 40 miles from your assignment to receive tax free money (and not violate any tax laws), although I've heard others say 100 miles, so it's best to...

  14. Got Beat Up Badly In Face By Patient

    PMHNP10 replied to Aviationurse's topic in Psychiatric

    I really hope and IMPLORE you to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE file a report with your local police dept at a bare minimum. From what you are saying, complacency is commonplace on your unit. By not acting,...

  15. Do you talk about allnurses.com at work?

    PMHNP10 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

  16. Still devastated after 4 years

    PMHNP10 replied to kbswife's topic in General Nursing

  20. what made you decide to be a NP?

    PMHNP10 replied to celclt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  21. Today I was made redundant

    PMHNP10 replied to joannep's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that was so stupid, but I think I'm going to top you. TO the OP...so you have been a nurse for 30 years and your age is listed at 46?. So you became a nurse at 16 y/o? Is that...

  22. new RN vs. new APN orientation

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    How do they compare? When you graduate from nursing school to become a RN, you know virtually nothing and so you require an extensive orientation, preceptorship, etc.; and of course we all know how...
