  1. Home birth vs. hospital

    mscsrjhm replied to rnmi2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had two at the hospital, and one at home. Wish I had talked to you first. No problems with any, but the more I think about what could have happened at

  3. Glad I got malpractice insurance

    mscsrjhm replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    I have also heard many people say things and thought "what a trip, he has no clue what he is talking about." Knowledge is power... Get better informed about what you are hoping that money will do for...

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

    mscsrjhm replied to rhonda L's topic in General Nursing

    I hear what you are saying. However, I still disagree. You cannot FORCE someone to a Doc just so that they can be informed of what they are refusing. It seems that you are saying it is okay to refuse,...

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

    mscsrjhm replied to bam_bam's topic in General Nursing

    No problem. I didn't realize malpractice covered wrongful termination. That is new to me. Most policies I have seen do not cover employment issues. (Apparently, to keep raking in the $$$ they are...

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

    mscsrjhm replied to bam_bam's topic in General Nursing

    I am thinking that you haven't read the whole thread, or you would see that these issues were discussed. I am still not understanding the statement "what you employer can do to you".

  8. What to do when family says no to care?

    mscsrjhm replied to juley0129's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The POA has the authority. You say that you are all for following the rules, but by ignoring the POA, you are not following the rules. We all know and have dealt with the dysfunctional families. Not...

  9. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    mscsrjhm replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Nurse Ratched for the site. Ouch, some definite opinions about "nurses" from other "nurses". But, as a "nurse", I am pretty thick

  10. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    mscsrjhm replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Ouch. I think there are many reason you don't hear the term "Medical Assistants" used as a generalized term is: Wow, too many to mention. It is obvious that this is an issue near and dear to your...

  13. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    mscsrjhm replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Look through this thread. Many persons (not me) discuss Docs calling their staff "nurse". I really don't think all of these Docs are trying to convince patients that staff are RNs or...

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

    mscsrjhm replied to bam_bam's topic in General Nursing

    Something I hadn't thought of, or heard of. Thanks. Going through the list in my head... Keep you from getting fired? no. Give me examples. Please.

  15. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    mscsrjhm replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    And a grand soapbox it was.. It has been covered that there are state which have made it illegal to use the term "nurse". And other states it is only illegal to impersonate an RN, LPN, etc. However,...

  16. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    mscsrjhm replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Are you considering the term "nurse" in itself a title? If it were, then to call yourself "nurse" would definitely be illegal. However, the word is not considered a title. RN, LPN, NP, those are...

    Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. No one has a right to decide what happiness is for someone else. To watch others drink/drug themselves to death... this is their right. To force...

  19. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    mscsrjhm replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh, sigh, sigh back at ya. Nope. You yourself used the term "RN or LPN title". Some states it is not illegal to use the term "nurse". Assumptions are not illegal.

    \ Gosh, and I didn't think that YOU were understanding...I thought the YOU were ignoring the facts. Just goes to show how people speak and think differently. Some states, it is unlawful,......

  21. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    mscsrjhm replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    No offense here. I am tickled that it isn't only me who has heard the term referred to somewhat generally (nurse..nursing..)
