  1. Copied documentation?

    Old.Timer replied to mom4josh's topic in General Nursing

    social work copying initial nursing assessment for hospice admission is one thing, but...... identical detailed nursing assessment "notes" (vs electronically populating a field with set responses)...

  2. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    Old.Timer replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  3. Please help me LPN's or former LPN's...

    Old.Timer replied to C287's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Try and remember back to how you felt as a new poster. What's the point in being downright hostile? Not every post requires a reply, just ignore and move on. Besides, the question was for

  4. Narcotic Descrepency!!!

    Old.Timer replied to APatriganiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really not being snarky, I truly don't understand. Why do you think people are being unhelpful and beating a dead horse. All the posts were objective and factual info re standard P&P in these...

  5. CNA before RN?

    Old.Timer replied to SkylerW's topic in General Students

    I suspect that I will be in the minority on this one. More often than not, I think working as a CNA prior to becoming a nurse does nothing but produce nurses that are half-burnt before they even get...

  6. MD's orders

    Old.Timer replied to BA_anthropology's topic in General Nursing

    You handled it well. You will do just

  7. Nurses entering their own eletronic MARS? ?

    Old.Timer replied to Pride/hardwork17's topic in General Nursing

    It's their pitiful attempt to fool others into thinking they have complied with EMR

  8. Very frustrated after taking pbsd!!

    Old.Timer replied to KaHigRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused, were you hired to work NICU or were you hired for PP/Newborn and they gave the NICU test ? If hired for PP/New then yes , I would be ticked off , if hired for NICU , I would have long...

  9. Gasp! An uninsured Nurse (rant)

    Old.Timer replied to optimist's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have not read any of the posts yet. Apologize if this is a repeat but I have just have to jump in .... Agree thenurse was inappropriate but who the he// ends up footing the bill when something...

  10. rn taking orders from an lpn?

    Old.Timer replied to tofunurse<3's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Trust me, that was purposeful. She was keeing her hands clean. Had you not accepted pt back and the facility caught he// , you can be sure that you would have been the first one under the bus....

  11. Is this a HIPAA violation?

    Old.Timer replied to studentCL2009's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    LOL ! I was recently in a meeting where an identical scenario was discussed hypothetically. Our chief privacy officer says that Date of Service is considered to be an identifier and thus it is a HIPAA...

  12. Med error? help im going to loose ky mind thinking about this!!!!!!

    Old.Timer replied to avenellpn82's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is hysterical. I feel like I am in the twilight zone.

  13. Plz help with Bumex, amio, dopamine, cardizem calculations!

    Old.Timer replied to RamaMama's topic in General Nursing

    Babycakes, For the love of all that is good, whatever in the world is the purpose of dredging up an old thread and immediately start berating previous posters. You are now trying to create animosity...

  14. Deathbed visions **UPDATED**

    Old.Timer replied to ag_man's topic in General Nursing

    Ag man, I'm curious, You just joined today and your first post is requesting info about very specific type situations. Are you gathering these stories to include in some sort of publication or...

  15. Medical Assistants the new RNs???

    Old.Timer replied to ayorenee's topic in General Nursing

    Patient Education followed the RN right out the door. The impact of that is far reaching and one of the greatest

  16. I keep burning bridges... I really want to stop

    Old.Timer replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    If you strongly dislike peds hh, don't take the position. You are not the right fit for the child and their family. Children are vulnerable enough when they are sick and in need of

  17. Should this be reported??

    Old.Timer replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    Whether you think it's Right/Wrong or Agree/Disagree with the practice you certainly can't say that she isn't looking out for and taking care of the patient with severe

  18. Ethical (?) Dilemma?

    Old.Timer replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    One little kudo wasn't nearly enough :) Great comment

  19. Ethical (?) Dilemma?

    Old.Timer replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Tongue in cheek...I am not trying to make light of what happened, however, I would have gladly driven into a ditch if I thought it would have gotten me out of doing nights. You have put in your time....

  20. New Orientee Ticking Me Off

    Old.Timer replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    another aspect....... as far as i am concerned, if the new orientee took me out of the loop by going to the supervisor with concerns/write-up then one of two things should occur: if i'm responsible,...

  21. How am I going to get the time off for a tummy tuck?

    Old.Timer replied to NurseLady1's topic in General Nursing

    I think you might be confusing a tummy tuck and gastric bypass. Sounds like OP did do it the old fashioned way and is now left with a lot of loose skin. No amount of discipline and sticking to a plan...

  22. Ever see "FULL LET" for code status?

    Old.Timer replied to shygoofyone's topic in General Nursing

    ShyGoofyOne, I could not agree more....when the guy could not explain to you what he meant by his order that pertained to nuances in code status I would be very concerned also. On a side note,...

  23. I love management!!.....not

    Old.Timer replied to ooper3076's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very sorry to hear about your father. Sometimes, circumstances in our lives take precedence over everything else. This sounds like one of them. More often than not, we regret the things we don't...

  24. Should I have implemented Suicide Precautions?

    Old.Timer replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming he was admitted by surgeon to surgical floor (vs inpatient psych) and next thing he knows he ends up as an involuntary admission , I can see why he was extremely upset. As pp said, there is...

  25. I'm the office manager and "his wife"

    Old.Timer replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Onaclearday, Sounds like it would give you some good experience. It's easy for all of us to pipe in with our concerns but it could be the time that it works. You have some life experience so your...
