  1. Glad I got malpractice insurance

    IMustBeCrazy replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    Look at it this way: Insurance companies base their premiums on how much they expect to pay out. So.... -Nurses pay $100/yr -Doctors pay multiple thousands $/Year -Attorneys pay more malpractice...

  2. need some advice on getting family member medical attention against their will

    IMustBeCrazy replied to rhonda L's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is what people are taking exception to. Unfortunately, as I think we all can agree, it's not a black and white

  3. Scary doctors!!!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    Unikuelady, I conjured up a mental picture of what you described: DocBraindead: "Hrmm, the Mercedes 600SL looks intriguing, but I like the styling on the BMW Z8..'course the price difference is about...

  4. need some advice on getting family member medical attention against their will

    IMustBeCrazy replied to rhonda L's topic in General Nursing

    I think that it is a wild assumption to conclude that since a nurse says that a person has the right to decline medical care that the nurse saying it must obviously be lacking in 'empathy' or is...

  5. Help!!! How Much Should The Public Know

    IMustBeCrazy replied to gabym25's topic in General Nursing

    Not all states publish all the info that was described. But I do agree with most here that it is a patent violation of nurses personal privacy for those states that do publish it. HIPAA needs to cut...

  7. Personal malpractice insurance....yes or no?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to bam_bam's topic in General Nursing

    I was involved in the legal area for awhile also, and what Jim and others are saying about malpractice insurance is spot on. Attorneys are like bloodhounds that follow the scent of the biggest...

    if you graduated at the top of your class, you are obviously a very intelligent person, and i have no doubt that you 'know' this stuff. there are two things going on here. first of all you are wayyyyy...

  9. Help Needed - Book for teen re. suicide

    IMustBeCrazy posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hello all! I am trying to find a book that would be appropriate to give a 14-year-old that attempted suicide. The idea is that the content needs to be understandable, not preachy, uplifting and come...

    IMustBeCrazy replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    Lisa, I realize I'm veering way off course from the original post/question. However, I agree with the other poster that expressed surprise re: your comment that you hadn't yet visited the...

  13. Nursing school - reasons for not following through

    IMustBeCrazy replied to melly06's topic in General Nursing

    I think lots of people also *really* don't understand exactly what it is that nurses do. As my wise CNA instructor once said, "you don't sit around old women helping them paint their nails all day"....

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Sheppard's topic in General Nursing

  15. Resignation Via E-Mail

    IMustBeCrazy replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    Tweety, I understand where you are coming from. But if her agenda was to effect change, was that really the best way to go about it? I'm betting it just made the institution even more defensive and...

  16. Resignation Via E-Mail

    IMustBeCrazy replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    CNM2B, I hear what you're saying. But anytime there is something very important (like that nurse felt there was) to say, it's a good idea to do the following: 1) Write down notes to yourself in...

  17. Resignation Via E-Mail

    IMustBeCrazy replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    I say this since most employers would have a hard time with exiting employees publicly causing controversy. It really is not different at all from an employee going in to a boss and screaming at the...

  18. Resignation Via E-Mail

    IMustBeCrazy replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    Well....while it may have been true, and made her feel good for the 5 minutes after she sent it, she is now blacklisted from any viable job in that area. Hopefully she plans to

  20. Didn't pass one clinical rotation, don't know why

    IMustBeCrazy replied to moonlite48's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure that your school is required by your state Board of Nursing to have written clinical goals that you and your classmates must meet. Otherwise, it would be an entirely subjective...

  22. my little analysis of the NCLEX

    IMustBeCrazy replied to bender73's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
