    The Mockery of Nursing

    netglow replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ha ha. I think of the Amy Winehouse song... well, really it's just a description of the "bar fly" but we could change it to the demographic of nurses who fit her description... The title of the song...

    My mistake?

    netglow replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with DeLana. OP, I tell ya that nurses (who are not hospice) often think they know what to do and yet they don't and they are quick to chide other nurses who are really just as confused as...

    My mistake?

    netglow replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    Former hospice nurse too. Just call hospice as soon as you think you need to call a doc. The hospice nurse will know (should know) what dynamics are involved with all parties. Makes your job easier....

    doctor's office accessing of scripts

    netglow replied to morte's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Doesn't matter that you had different insurance, a different doctor, or, that it was 10 years ago. The database has ALL information on you for which a claim was filed. Soon, even if you go to say, a...

    Drug testing a RN while a patient in the er

    netglow replied to lori4367's topic in General Nursing

    Lesson learned here. Never get your care at your place of work (unless you cut off a limb and are bleeding to death). Suck what ever it is up and go offsite for care. It's like Lord of the Rings, Draw...

    doctor's office accessing of scripts

    netglow replied to morte's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    As always Esme is 100 percent on the money. I used to also handle all insurance for a practice while I was taking my prereqs for nursing. I'm not talking trash when I say the DATABASE in the sky is...

    0.9 is not full time?!

    netglow replied to simvee's topic in General Nursing

    The only reason to make a big move like that is to reduce benefits, as well as, to be able to cut a large amount of people loose when census drops or, they just want to reduce the workforce there...

    I want to curl up in a ball and cry

    netglow replied to JenniferA428's topic in General Nursing

    I think the manager knows you've been trying to reach her. Here's the problem: she may be a nurse, but not fit for management. Unfortunately this is way too common in our biz. IMHO, something fouled...

    Attention Chicago area nurses! I need some info, please help!

    netglow replied to oriellyk's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Uhm. The Chicago market, is very tight. If I were you, I'd just try and concentrate on just getting "ANY NURING JOB" hopefully one you won't need to quit as soon as you are hired. You also need to...

    Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    netglow replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No lets not. Lets look at the concrete, not the rainbows and skittles. It's not about older, or younger, it's about having a solid work history, and proven achievements and references from employers...

    OCRN63, that was a different time and place that brought you up, if you get my drift. That time and place is gone forever. Took me 22 years before I got out of my previous career. I've got a kicker...

    netglow replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree on everything but the "girl scout" stuff. Core measures, mission, all that is just marketing crap. Ask pathophysiology questions. Give any scenario... give some info and ask what they'd do,...

    Patient Abandonment by Physician???

    netglow replied to TammyG77's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, likely a seeker. Doc could have just told her that after HIS assessment, he concludes that he would not prescribe the meds in question. Then, tell her what he would prescribe. If she is not in...

    Dilemma in clinical?

    netglow replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    Op, you did fine. Remember nursing school is something to be endured... Most likely your instructor and that RN don't at all have the patient or your best interests in mind most of the time. If you...

    Silly random nursing thoughts, one sentence, NO JUDGMENTAL FOLKS ALLOWED
