    Honesty with Recruiter

    broughden replied to Xpectsuccess's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Same way we do for alcohol. Create a standardized blood THC limit based on body weight. Over the limit you are likely currently high and feeling the effects. Under the limit you most likely are not....

    Nurse or Physician's Assitant

    broughden replied to MurseTinz's topic in General Students

    I also did a comparison of DNP versus PA programs. I looked really hard at Yale's new PA program. The decision maker to me is that PA is largely a US thing, with Canada being the only other country (I...

    NPs who don't bill

    broughden replied to britt_possible's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with you and therefore disagree with Core0. The OP needs to seek private counsel and document, document, document. Do NOT walk blindly into your employer's compliance or HR department seeking...

    NPs who don't bill

    broughden replied to britt_possible's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I encouraged her to seek private counsel. Thats all. Because, as I stated previously, depending on the details it "could" be fraud. As former law enforcement I try not to speak in absolutes without...

    NPs who don't bill

    broughden replied to britt_possible's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In states where the physician is in a supervisory role over a mid-tier practitioner they have ruled the MD must be on premises. But different states vary. In the case I was quoting from the MD wasnt...

    broughden replied to jillykahn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. Contact your ombudsman office to see about postdated emergency/medical withdrawal, as I said. Even if you retake the class the F remains on your transcript and effects your cumulative GPA unless...

    NPs who don't bill

    broughden replied to britt_possible's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's the "incident to" I was referring to above. Under the medicare guidelines a PA/NP can provide treatment to a patient "incident to" a physician's care or supervision, which is billed at a...

    NPs who don't bill

    broughden replied to britt_possible's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Based on your description your hospital and this clinic are likely practicing insurance fraud. I would discuss this with your own private legal counsel, before talking to ANYONE on the employer side....

    Failed TWO science pre reqs.. Any hope?

    broughden replied to jillykahn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If the story about your uncle and mother is true, and can be documented through medical records, I would contact your college's ombudsman's office to file a request for a post dated medical/emergency...

    Transgender patient and a dilemma

    broughden replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    Strange how most posters assume the parents are involved in this child's life. Where as, as a former police officer in NY, I naturally assume the transitioning, dirty (ie needs a shower), psych hold...

    Everything Sucks: Red Flags?

    Wow. How exactly was anyone supposed to be helpful? You're the bright bulb who took a job under these horrific conditions. Exactly what are random anonymous posters on the internet going to do to help...

    broughden replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    To clarify, rusty nails are often thought to be infection vectors for C. tetani (which is actually only true if the nail is laying around in the soil before piercing the skin). As an obligate anaerobe...

    Retake any prerequisites?

    broughden replied to Nnjohns09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one can really answer this for you. Why? Because every school is different. Some schools won't accept any class older than 10 years. Some will allow you to retake prerequisites, but some won't....

    Ethical dilemma! Need advice

    broughden replied to nosleep=nursingstudent's topic in General Students

    If it was straight up cheating, "Hey here is last semester's test and answers," my answer would be to immediately report them to the undergraduate program director and let the chips fall where they...

    broughden replied to clf1926's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We've signed up for classes. Im registered. But we have been told we won't know the "real" day and times of certain classes, such as practical lab until we get to orientation. And this is the more...

    broughden replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    No actually it's the patient's call, and unfortunately far to many next of kin simply ignore what the patient has expressly asked for in their living will. Such as yelling at medical staff to ignore a...
