  1. Silent birth? Anyone see one?

    MultipurposeRN replied to Sis123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry. That's not divine. That's not spiritual. It's not morality or respect for the almighty Lord. THAT IS JUST PLAIN STUPID!!! :uhoh21: I've often felt that way about decisions the JW's make,...

  2. An ethical question.

    MultipurposeRN replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    I think any way you look at it, if there's no mandatory reporting law then it's a HIPAA violation. Which may very well ruin the life of the nurse reporting it inappropriately. Unfortunately much as I...

  3. Number of Disease Management nurses

    MultipurposeRN replied to renerian's topic in Case Management

    Do you have to be based in a particular area? Or will they let you work from whever you happen to already live? I live in SW Mo and so far haven't seen too many places that work from

  4. My manager says I can get a second job, but...

    MultipurposeRN replied to control's topic in General Nursing

    I still think your off time is your own and you should be able to work wherever you want, as long as it's legal. Now maybe if I go work in a strip bar I won't wear my hospital's name

  5. Oh boy......I ticked off the charge nurse

    MultipurposeRN replied to newish nurse's topic in General Nursing

    In the program I attended, you would not likely get a second chance. That would be a good program to avoid, then. If it's so unforgiving for someone who made a remark that may or may not have been...

  6. Should I stay in case management or go?

    MultipurposeRN replied to aaac's topic in Case Management

    Can't anyone get time off during the week from your jobs? I have no experience w/ home or office case management, but I do Care Coordination at a hospital; it combines some Social Work, Case...

  7. Number of Disease Management nurses

    MultipurposeRN replied to renerian's topic in Case Management

    Question...did any of you have to move to take these positions, or can you set up at home wherever you happen to live? I love the job I have now, but with gas prices being what they are, I would sure...

  8. Doula Thoughts on L&D (long)

    MultipurposeRN replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't read all the threads. But I do agree there is too much medical intervention in Childbirth that is more for the convenience of the Doc or mom than what is natural or best for the baby. the US...

  9. CRNA so why not CRNS? Certified Register Nurse Surgeon? (devil's advocate)

    MultipurposeRN replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    RN First Assistants help surgeons, probably similar to what some of the PA's do in surgery. It's a whole specialized training course and I believe they bill independently of the doctors in some

  10. Question about story (pt refuse treatment)

    MultipurposeRN replied to capribry's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately there are lawyers who could take this case and win, simply because people would sympathize w/ the victim. It's not always what's right that wins

  11. Oh boy......I ticked off the charge nurse

    MultipurposeRN replied to newish nurse's topic in General Nursing

    That charge nurse sounds like a hag....it's much quicker to ask questions than to look something up. It wouldn't have hurt anything to give a brief description and have you look it up later. If...

  12. RN assist at homebirths?

    MultipurposeRN replied to RNChrista's topic in General Nursing

    could you train as a Doula so as to be supportive without having to be medical? Don't suppose that would help w/ the license problem,

  13. Greetings Missourians/lets get to know each other

    MultipurposeRN replied to Nursie30's topic in General Nursing

    Melanie 43 Single 3 kids, 2 grandkids (well, one is still in the oven..) ICU/Care Coordination in SW Mo, near OK, KS, and Ark. BSN planning to start a Masters soon. That's a work in progress, I...

  14. Hello fellow missourians!!

    MultipurposeRN replied to christymwinn's topic in General Nursing

    Nice to see a thread about MO nurses! Anyone here from the SW area near Kansas and

  15. Change of job status -- need advise

    MultipurposeRN replied to NurseEcho's topic in General Nursing

    How is your manager? Approachable, or hard to deal with? I would just talk to her/him plainly and tell them that 3 nights a week is too hard on your health. That's a common thing to happen to night...

  16. Most easy job in Nursing?

    MultipurposeRN replied to moliuchick's topic in General Nursing

    I work in Care Coordination/Social Work at my hospital. Not too many weekends, about 1 every 8-10 weeks. Call for a week of nights about every 3 months, and the beeper rarely goes off. When it does,...

  17. ethnic question

    MultipurposeRN replied to firstclass's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not offended when people ask me if I'm from 'x' state or whatever. I don't really have an accent, or so I think. According to a friend from Michigan, I sound like a hick, though.

  18. Daily??? Newer nurses need "stand up" help!

    MultipurposeRN replied to onconurseRT's topic in General Nursing

    You will either have to stand up to this person..possibly by asking directly, "what will it take to make you happy? I did all I could get done". Or, ask for her help or advice about something. I used...

  19. Probably going to be terminated, kinda bummed...

    MultipurposeRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Long story I'll try and make short. I've been working as a Registry ICU nurse since July of 1998, a prn type position. About 2 years ago I took a M-F job at a different hospital but kept my status at...

  20. Probably going to be terminated, kinda bummed...

    MultipurposeRN replied to MultipurposeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ack, Delmar! Sure didn't want to put anyone's bp up! Glad it's back down now! And thanks to all for the suggestions/support. I'm thinking maybe God is trying to tell me that it's time to move...

  21. Probably going to be terminated, kinda bummed...

    MultipurposeRN replied to MultipurposeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually for years it WAS possible to do a split weekend. The requirements were 2 weekend shifts a month. Friday night counted, so for several years I worked every Friday night. Don't know why they...

  22. Probably going to be terminated, kinda bummed...

    MultipurposeRN replied to MultipurposeRN's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for the suggestions, I had thought of that. I really hate to give up my hours there. Seemed strange today the nurse recruiter said there was no PRN help needed in ICU right now. Yeah, right!...

  23. male nurses in OB

    MultipurposeRN replied to newnurse33's topic in General Nursing

    As a person who has been molested as a child by men, also forced against my will to have sex by a psycho ex-husband I can understand why a woman might not want a man doing more intimate care. However,...

  24. Impaired thinking boosts elderly falling....oh ya think?!?

    MultipurposeRN replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the way wrong area of nursing...research grants, here I

  25. ABC.com nurse's blog

    MultipurposeRN replied to MommyandRN's topic in General Nursing

    Those types of TV shows are as inaccurate in portraying doctors as they are nurses. Wonder if the docs are up in arms about it? Most of them probably never watch it,
