Heh. Puh-lease.

Oh Ruby. If you do, your boss will think you are crazy. Who knows what you do when you are at work with sensitive information? Basically, I'd react by surveillance on you immediately, as well as pretty severe discipline or loss of your job. Unless th...

I think that the duress the facility put him under, caused his outburst which is a perfectly normal reaction. Good luck to you OP. I'm all about "weeding" out bad facilities. And, a lot needs weeding.

Umm, the phone is one you carry on you...

Kitty when ever you talk transplant you will see that you meet resistance. The industry is very protective of its share. So, someone will notice this thread and say that you don't know what you are talking about soon, or that you are mis-informed. Wh...

If you've never done a thing outside healthcare, it's hard to understand the difference. It's even to the level of basic human rights. I have owned my own business, and let me tell you, 80 hour weeks fly by and really that's being comfortable doing s...

It's corporate that makes the decisions now that EMR has been in place for several years in my area. No longer need for nursing go-betweens as everybody is literate, and nursing really has no power over things - sad but true. Nurses and the MDs do wh...

I don't even tell people I'm a nurse. I just tell them I'm in marketing - I used to be! No questions with that one, but always there are questions if I answer that I am a nurse. Nursing is pretty much just marketing these days, so not too far off.

Off topic, but when OCNRN63 and I talk - we take over.... Why can you NOT pull a football player's hair. If he's got hair down to his butt, well, to me you should be able to pull it. When I was in grade school the boys pulled the girls hair - and nob...

I know of two new grads in my area - friend families, who are in Finance and Accounting who instantly were hired by big firms in the City (Chicago) near me with absolutely no effort on their part - they had multiple offers. I have also heard these t...

Totally get this, RN1023. After all, more nursing education, gets you what? More nursing, and nothing else for your money. So you go through BSN or higher and you are where you started, unhappy. Maybe if you are lucky, a bit better, but still nursing...

Yikes. I don't like to. It never leads to anything good. Too many questions usually, and not a one I want to answer.

Hey good you have a bachelors, because there are so many IT guys out there even, you know? The ads I see want "build" ability - no mention of RN. I met a Healthcare Administration degreed person the other day. He can't get a break either, but I knew ...

Yeah informatics is kinda old. Never see ads wanting RNs for that anymore, they just use regular IT folks now. You know it's all corporate now. A friend of the family taught IT related stuff at a CC after he lost his IT job and now he's in charge of ...

You could try telephonic case manager work eg United Health Care, but I have heard that EVERYBODY is trying to be a case manager now since nursing really sux. So, they get flooded with applications. It's the first thing all the RN pharm reps do since...

Bolded part: This is not true at all. False that anyone will have "free" healthcare if employed, under Obama's plan. You will have an automatic deduction taken as payment for your plan, I believe, as you will be required to have and pay for insurance...

I agree with all those who think this whole thing is kinda silly. You are signing whether in writing or e-signing when you chart, so you don't need to identify yourself because you are already identified.... as netglow, RN.

Make sure you document this interaction! Certified letter or email cc back to you for a date and time stamp. You don't want them to decide to turn guilt around and make you the fall guy. Save all electronic files as well as print a hard copy out. Be ...

You know, many HH and Hospices will hire anyone who carries a license to manage them. All it takes is a financial partner and a dirty RN. I get people contacting me and begging me to DON. "Name your price," they say. ROFLMAO. More and more, dirty RNs...

I agree. I think it's generational. It's almost as if the entrance age for nursing edu. needs to be say mid 20s at lowest acceptance age. Look at Medicine. You've got to have your undergrad first, then med school, then residency. To some extent matu...

Hmmm. Been thinking back. My ADN didn't have a means to bring your grade up either. Strict point system on tests. And for end of semester skills performance test it was pass/fail. If you failed the skills performance on really any minutia you were du...

I have not re-upped my Skyscape for several years. I just use what's there. It's good for admin detail because it's of a nursing sort of understanding. Other than that I have Micromedex and Medscape and Epocrates (which, I almost never use).

I'd go so far as to say that we are quickly getting to past 50% of Home Health and Hospice not being legit. And yeah, pretty much nobody is regulating these, until someone blows the whistle or someone is killed, and that's only if anyone bothers to ...

tdeangelis - I stand by my post. My eyes are wide open. It's more a business in some areas than others, most likely, I'll give you that.

I will guarantee your instructor and fellow students are members of this forum... are you trying to fail this fun little homework assignment?
