  4. Cost Cutting/Budgeting --- the patients suffer the most

    kcmylorn replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Time2 go- I think the point your instructors are trying to make about having all the information gathered before you make the call to the physician is: the doctor yu are calling(on the phone) can't...

  5. Cost Cutting/Budgeting --- the patients suffer the most

    kcmylorn replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Agreed- this has to be done across the board, and not just in one facility but all facilites nurses work in. It's not just happening in one facility, on one unit, to one or a few nurses. This is a...

  6. Cost Cutting/Budgeting --- the patients suffer the most

    kcmylorn replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If you guys live in California- write all this down, with name date and time and send your letters of complaints to the CNA/NNU AND your Department of Health, your congress people, your senators and...

  7. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    kcmylorn replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The average career of a nurse is 25 years????!!!!! Is that why us who have been a nurse for 32 years can't get a job? Munro, where did you hear this???Is this true??? I knew it- it's soup kitchens...

  9. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    kcmylorn replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would like to throw in another twist to this saga. My school has just removed it's basic health assessment course for RN to BSN completion and replaced it with an Advanced practice physical...

  10. Radical Management Strategy

    kcmylorn replied to oldenurselady's topic in Nurse Management

    Managment doesn't want the staff telling the truth to patnets because if a mistake is made- the patient has a legitimate leg to stand on that is the managment's fault. Managment staff the hospitals...

  11. Radical Management Strategy

    kcmylorn replied to oldenurselady's topic in Nurse Management

    Managment does it for the same reason they demand unemployed nurses go back for their BSN. Business people will never tell the truth, they sugar it up with something so 'fantastic" any reasonable...

  12. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    kcmylorn replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why even fight about it. When the fiscal cliff hits- BSN's and ADN's will be laid off. Thank you corporate

  13. BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    kcmylorn replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think it is fruitless to argue the I'm better than you stand. Nursing needs to start think(critically thiking that is) about practicality and reality- gived the nurse a job before you demand she...

    kcmylorn replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    MunoRN- great post. I'm glad some one finally came out with stating an argument against the plausabilty of Akein's recommendation on BSN required. This has shut alot of us out of jobs and in an...

  15. called in sick, nurse manager calling back (inappropriate tactics?)

    kcmylorn replied to jbaggins's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe someone hasn't physically attacked one of these managers yet! Heaven knows, they are asking for it! back in the day, someone would have given then a good hard slap in the

  16. I couldn't believe they were hiring nurses...even new grads

    kcmylorn replied to JustCheckin''s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's not entirely true. Go to your unemployment office/re employment office or workfore development office what every your state calls it. Talk to someone about filing a claim and file a claim...

  17. These two idiots need to have their nursing licenses revoked

    kcmylorn replied to guest416560's topic in General Nursing

    "They are barred from working a home health agency but can work in a hospital provided they don't work together". All I have to say is Whoa. And these PTB in nursing will not let RN's who have been...

  20. nursing retirement

    kcmylorn replied to kristen312's topic in General Nursing

  23. I couldn't believe they were hiring nurses...even new grads

    kcmylorn replied to JustCheckin''s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The department of labor posts statistics on unemployment each month. My state posts it on their opening web page in addition to the national unemployment rate. It is not a secret. I have on 2...

  24. I couldn't believe they were hiring nurses...even new grads

    kcmylorn replied to JustCheckin''s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Those job postings are put there for the benefit of keeping the department of labor off their backs. It doesn't look good for a CEO to be earning millions of dollars per year and there is no jobs when...

    Does any one know what these CEO's were doing while these babies and patient's on life support were being hand carried by nursing and firsrt responders down stair wells? Were the CEO"s hand carrying...
