    Post-Mortem care, PLEASE realize it is a human being.

    even though you believed there was no time constraint, i'd find it equally as credible that an icu bed needed to be opened up, which would necessitate a concern for time. i have done hundreds of post...
  2. well, according to those specific threads, i'd say that's about half of the an's population. maybe i'm being too sensitive... but you've probably set back a good number of posters here, who may be...

    Co-worker passed away. Bad day at work

    What should I do?

    as asked already...are you a nurse? what is your relationship to the pt? leslie eta: ok, i peeked at your profile and it says you're a pre-nursing student. are you in school yet...i'm thinking you...

    What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    i am absolutely amazed at all the geniuses on this board. a-maaaazing.

    What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    oh my gosh. joanna! i was expelled from kindegarten, for continually pig-piling/jumping on all the boys. and this lady used to bring me to and from school (don't remember who/why), relegated me to the...
  9. you're right gentle, she shouldn't be embarassed. it's unfortunate the pt's embarassment was the result of the dr's tactless statement.
  10. i bolded what i found inappropriate. why would any professional dr. add such a guilt-ridden statement to a pt? i mean specifically, "unfortunately"??? i found it highly tactless and NON-therapeutic....

    What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    this is the same member who started the thread, 're: iq of a bsn', which is in the gen'l nsg forum if you want to read it. (it's a short thread.)

    Average IQ of a BSN nurse

    i'm sorry?? i didn't see any bsn bashing. instead, this thread has revolved around the readers confusion, aka, the downright irrelevance of a bsn's intelligence.
  13. millions of people either live w/serious injuries, or die because of inability to pay. it happens every single day. also, our country is in deep debt, partly because of those we pay for...our...

    aNaders, you owe merlee 20 seconds of your life.

    Is this fair??

    my first thought was dol, as well when my son was fired from a job, he went there to obtain his final paycheck. mgmt was messing w/his head, and told him he'd need to provide positive id. :-l i told...

    Does anyone know anything about medicaid?

    from my understanding, they base their findings on gross income only. so no, they wouldn't be eligible.
  18. the dr. is in the appropiate specialty, since she sounds like a tactless ass. shame on her. op, you just cannot get upset over people like that. this shortcoming is on her, and not on you. go apply...

    Fictional vital sign charting

    i'm not certain if they need to know how vitals relate to particular illness. i would think just knowing why high/low bp, pulse, temp, resps are concerning, and what ea vital can do to one's body,...

    Fictional vital sign charting

    if vs are in the cna's job description, then no more money is warranted. actually, they should start deducting money from paycheck, if found to be not taking vitals.

    Average IQ of a BSN nurse

    according to your logic, if bsn = avg or > iq, then adn/diploma = avg or wow. dare i ask what the lpn would be? and if you didn't know cna's...you've already been tossed out. weber, if you're...

    Incompetent nursing assistants

    i agree, that it's incredibly frustrating to work with unreliable employees. and it's not ltd to cnas. i've worked with some incredibly shabby nurses... and come to think of it, throw a few doctors in...
