  1. HMOs and Smoking Gun

    Mijourney replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Hi oramar. Unfortunately, I don't have the time I want to read all the interesting articles in calnurse or other sites. I did take a peek at the article you recommended on HMO and smoking guns. I...

  2. Interview questions...what do you wished you would have asked?

    Mijourney replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi TRN. In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the employer before I went on the interview. I should have learned about the size of the hospital, the total number of beds, the type of services...

  3. Pt. suffering for sake of cost containment!!

    Mijourney replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

    Hi earle58. The previous posters have provided excellent responses to your post in my opinion. Your problem sounds like a quality problem as well as a psychiatric/medical problem. If you have a risk...

    Mijourney replied to karenccma's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Louie. Like your short and sweet compliment. We are all in this together. Let's stop trying to find a reason to continuously eat each other with our personal issues. Again, Karen. Best wishes. Let...

  5. anyone else feel this way?

    Mijourney replied to yankee_in_SC's topic in General Nursing

    Hi yankee. Welcome to the South. Brutal, eh. The physicians and other practitioners in the South seem to enjoy putting on some type of macho masquerade especially when a migrant is in town. This is...

  6. what do you think?

    Mijourney replied to Cathy RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi CathyRN. I don't know if it was a typo in your post, but working on the floor at 390 years old is quite old. In fact, I believe it predates Florence Nightinggale. Anyway, this nurse is probably...

    Mijourney replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. And for those who are interested, I'm emailing some of the representatives on the list that natalie

  8. US SENATE HEARING ON NURSING SHORTAGE

    Mijourney replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

    Hi -jt. I guess my question should be, how will the money, resources, and support be allocated? It seems that all too often, legislated monies end up lining and padding the pockets of people who have...

  9. Some thoughts on a job fair by oramar

    Mijourney replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    The problem, oramar, with the scenario you describe is how nurses as a group will respond. We are facing 3rd down and 10 in the latter half of the 4th quarter. We not only need a 1st down, we need to...

  10. Where is JCAHO in all of this mess??

    Mijourney replied to RNSue's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. All of you make valid points. I do feel that some sort of external mechanism of policing quality is needed and some of the licensing/accrediting agencies may have been planned with good...

  11. Do you feel you were adequately prepared to practice nursing when you graduated?

    Mijourney replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. As a diploma grad, I felt I received good ground knowledge of bedside nursing practice. As a BSN grad, I received a good understanding of community health concepts of patient care. Being a nursing...

  12. Nurses caring for Nurses(PLEASE REPLY)

    Mijourney replied to candicemark's topic in General Nursing

    Hi candicemark. We can care for each other by caring about each other. I don't write this to mean that we have to be in each other's business, but simply, we need to at least give a hoot. One of the...

  13. what do nurses think of medical assistants?

    Mijourney replied to karenccma's topic in General Nursing

    Hi KarenCCMA. Congratulations on your achievement. I would not have any problem being on a team with you as long as you express confidence in yourself, are competent, and treat the clients/patients...

  14. Survey: Do you think nurses are portrayed positively in the media?

    Mijourney replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I agree with the previous posters. Nurses are frequently portrayed as spineless subordinates to the physician in the media. As it stands now in reality, the physician is the designated team leader...

  15. ethics

    Mijourney replied to patmostoi's topic in General Nursing

    Hi patmostoi. If you feel that your don's actions are harming the patients in some way, then in addition to reporting her behavior, you can contact the ombudsmans office for advice. Are you and the...

  16. Nurses @ Higher Risk 4 Lawsuits.

    Mijourney replied to SUBQ's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Timely topic. I am much intrigued with the previous posters' responses. What would have been optimal is for all the nurses to have walked out in unison on their assignment then the following...

  17. US SENATE HEARING ON NURSING SHORTAGE

    Mijourney replied to -jt's topic in General Nursing

    Hi oramar. You make a very good point. Over the years, nursing shortages have received bandaid treatment without any real resolution to the problem of what can be done to PREVENT a nursing shortage in...

  18. RN"s and LPN's mandated to work as CNA's

    Mijourney replied to chili2641's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Lopaidnurse. Appreciate your insight on the matter of funding for LTC or ECFs as you term the facilities and how the lack of it contributes to low employee morale, poor employee rapport, and...

  19. Advocacy for Elderly

    Mijourney replied to Cameron Johnston's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi Cameron. I just read yesterday that some US legislators are presenting a bill that would provide for LTC funding. We both know that LTC needed money yesterday. The problem, as you pointed out, is...

  20. Help! Need some advice!!

    Mijourney replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    Hi laurasc. I'll offer my two cents. You can pat yourself on the back, because I think you've gone beyond the normal call of duty in helping this person. Is this a single mom, and what type of...

  21. RN"s and LPN's mandated to work as CNA's

    Mijourney replied to chili2641's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I just happened to notice yesterday that the US Congress has presented legislation which includes more LTC funding. We all know that LTC needed more money yesterday. I would not at all be...

  22. Burnout?

    Mijourney replied to LenoraRN's topic in Home Health

    Hi. I agree with everyone's responses. My employer is reviewing our paperwork for adjustments. After reading topics from hospital nurses, I don't think I want to revisit that arena. They may not have...

  23. leaving nursing

    Mijourney replied to Casey47's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Casey47. Part of the emotional side of nurses leaving the profession is that our clients/patients are not getting the care they need. We do not have the time to focus on those "little things" that...

    Mijourney replied to kewlnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi. I just posted under a topic under general discussion in response to a poster whose topic was about an obnoxious, evil coworker. My last post under her topic was off the subject, because in one of...

    Mijourney replied to soundsLikesirens's topic in General Nursing

    Hi soundslikesiren. I'm glad you make it through your weekend. Your post seems to indicate that you had more than a plateful with floating and patient care. Did I read correctly, EIGHT FS blood sugars...
