  1. wrong route phenergan?

    mscsrjhm replied to cybernurse614's topic in Patient Medications

    My daughter (20s) has veins that were permantly damaged by phenergan pushes. Terrible burning, ulnar and median veins now like hard rope. But, she will tell you that the pain and damage came from...

  2. Maxim Health Care Services

    mscsrjhm replied to uvbnwarned04's topic in General Nursing

    I have always received overtime for anything over 40 hours while working agency. Even if the hours were at different facilities. Never heard of an agency not paying overtime, so there may be...

    mscsrjhm replied to Jacobero's topic in General Nursing

    If an unqualified person performs a procedure they are not legally allowed to perform...they are breaking the law. If a nonlawyer portrays themselves as a lawyer- this is fraud. They are breaking the...

    mscsrjhm replied to Jacobero's topic in General Nursing

    Let me clarify just a little- the term "nurse" is, to me, the same as the term "carpenter", "soldier", "driver". Should there be a law ? "Carpenter" only if certified by a specific authority?...

    mscsrjhm replied to Jacobero's topic in General Nursing

    Nope- doesn't bother me unless they claim to be Licensed or Registered. My part of the country- the term nurse is used as a person who takes care of another: "She was a nurse to her sister for years",...

  7. My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    mscsrjhm replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Government regulations? Isn't it possible that insurance companies could go bankrupt extremely quickly? Or could it lead to some type of

  8. Kardex ?

    mscsrjhm replied to nursecompassion's topic in General Nursing

    I have used these also at some facilities. We generally termed them Kardex', as it covered everything the old Kardex covered, plus some. My question is, for those who do not use Kardex, whether...

  9. Kardex ?

    mscsrjhm replied to nursecompassion's topic in General Nursing

    Without a kardex, how is general information passed? I have worked at only one facility that did not have Kardex, and we received no information during report. Other departments were not happy with...

  10. Update: Why Emotions Matter: Age, Agitation, and Burnout among Registered Nurses

    mscsrjhm replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is interesting to read Richard Feynman regarding the explosion of the space shuttle "Challenger", and to compare it to nursing. Engineers, scientist, many others telling those in power that there...

  11. does anyone regret becoming a nurse?

    mscsrjhm replied to CC999's topic in General Nursing

    I frequently regret it, and discouraged my daughters from a nursing career. However, if getting into nursing, select a specialty. There are many good places to work, but they are becoming few and...

  12. I had just had it with my job!!!(long)

    mscsrjhm replied to OklaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Odd, I just quit my job too, without 2 weeks notice. (Must have been the eclipse?). As no professionalism was shown toward me, I didn't feel the need to show any to them. Too old and life is too...

  13. Health food store giving medical advice

    mscsrjhm replied to mom4jesus's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen some pretty wild natural remedies as a child in the hills, and modern science has only recently found a bases for those remedies. However, like anything, there is a fine balance that has...

  14. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    mscsrjhm replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If it is so horrendously bad now, why haven't we stopped providing criminals health care? It is getting worse, and we know we have to do something, but we are not the Donnor party yet. And, yes,...

  15. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    mscsrjhm replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Again, we are not in survival mode. We have been treating the uninsured for years, and none of us are starving because of it. I am not saying there is a bundle of money hidden under Mt. Rushmore-(?)...

  16. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    mscsrjhm replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know of any "reasonable and prudent" people who lead a 100% healthy life. What percentage of unhealthy life style would be counted against us? We DO have the money are resources to provide...

  17. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    mscsrjhm replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "if every individual who wants to live wild and free would sign a "do not treat", dnr, and organ donor card, i'd light their joint and buy 'em a tank of gas....:smokin:" this is exactly what i am...

  18. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    mscsrjhm replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Universal Health Care or not-supported by hardworking taxpayers or not-noncompliant or not---we all must live our own lives. What good is life if it isn't enjoyed? Who are we to tell the non-compliant...

  19. The other health care issue: Getting costs down

    mscsrjhm replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wonderful idea, however, we (society) cannot MAKE anyone responsible-if this could be done- we wouldn't have prison overcrowding-there would be no child abuse-imagine no possessions.... Some type of...

  21. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    mscsrjhm replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Society changes, inevitable. I see it as obvious societal growth that every human being on the planet have access to proper healthcare. Perhaps it is time that our priorities change. It will be...

  22. When failure is labeled success; Socialized Medicine

    mscsrjhm replied to DarrenWright's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just gotta add: we all come from different places, (both inside and out). I know just a handful of people who do NOT own a gun. In my world, guns are a necessity, and we would never be without

  23. Is this typical for an LTC facility?

    mscsrjhm replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, good LTCs are the exception, in my experience-(agency since '87-so tons and tons of nursing homes.) Lots of chiefs, no Indians (no offense-I'm Cherokee). Covering-up abuse and neglect,...

  24. Cheney would "probably be dead by now" if not for his federally funded health care

    mscsrjhm replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Regarding affordable healthplans/insurance, someone help me here- because my math isn't adding up. 'Sally', a CNA working LTC makes 8$/hour, healthplan is 400$/monthly...(okay, this is a...
