Thank you!!!!

Hello. I recently ran into a situation with an individual and I was wondering if there was a website that will post an easy way to find out why someone has lost thier nursing license. I did find one website for around my local area, but it is not easy to search. You must click and go through every individual. I do not know the dates she lost her license, but we were curious if there was such a posting about licensing information. Thanks for your help.

i am sorry, i guess i should not have used the *low income* direction. but, in my days in the ed.....the frequent flyers there, where the ones with the "state issued/lower priced" insurance who would come in for the runny noses, sore throats, achy pains, and not seem to appreciate the fact that they are fortunate enough to have the insurance. instead, many of them seemed to use it to help get drugs for thier *booboo* to help with their drug addictions. i certainly did not mean that to be directed, i apologize for that. and i was not labeling all low income people just to clarify, i was talking about the one's who abuse the right to this insurance. but you always here (and yes i still today in the practice hear it) "i had to wait so long because of my insurance". "or she didnt give me the treatment i was supposed to get because of my insurance". it does not matter if you come on top paying rates of insurance, your problem would have been treated the same, on that given day. no, i am not blowing you off because of your insurance, half the time i pay no mind to the type of insurance you have, but when you are making your frequent flyer trips here, of course your going to have to wait when there are much higher priority cases than your runny coughy stuffy head, needing so you can rest medicine, that you were just seen for two days ago. i am sorry that i am not able to *type* out the point i was trying to make clearly. but i was trying to state that nurses do not blow off patients because of thier type of insurance, they are busy running around taking care of everyone, and if your waiting, it's for a very good reason. we can't help if the lab is slow with the blood work return...etc. but, we all *or most of us* have heard this complaint at one time or another, and i was just trying to state that it was not because of your insurance that they waiting, it's because of other reasons. i hope that help clear it up some!!!! :uhoh21:

I know I certainly would. Yes, the pay is a HUGE bonus, DO NOT get me wrong! But if your heart is not in the patient care, then is it really worth it to you? I mean think about it. I have been in several hospitals and exposed to the medical field long enough, and nothing irratates me more than a nurse for the money! You can tell these one's. I certainly do not want to judge character, but I can say that there are a few that made me SOOOOOOOOOO very mad when my grandma was in the hospital, I just wanted to throw them right down in her bed and treat them like they were her. (and they were the healthy one, wouldn't have liked it, IM SURE!!!) That gave me all the more inspiration to start the career I was born into. I just wish that all of them had thier heart behind it and realize they too some day could be treated in a terrible manner when they are very ill. I am not saying that all the $$$ nurses do, but you certainly can feel the difference. And in another defense, all the patients that I've seen on *low income* insurance think they are getting blown off in the ER's because they have to "wait". Well, maybe we should put them behind the scenes to show them .....everyone has priorities, and it's not a place to earn frequent flyer miles!!!! :angryfire
