I would report this to the primary Doctor and I would write the whole incident in the nurses progress note including what I wrote to the MD for future reference. My understanding of Ombudsman is that he is with whom nursing homes residents report c...

I really wonder what expipe would do if expipe was responsible for the care of children or those who can not represent themselves.

[/Quote] She was cut from medicaid...no coverage at all any longer with that...she does have Medicare, which she had to pay a $4000.00 deductable for a hospital admission plus she no longer has her perscriptions covered as she did with medicaid. Medi...

Under the Affordable Healthcare Act, insurance company can not spend more than 20% for administrative expense, and must spend no less than 80% for patient care. To me that is not selling out to big insurance company at all.

Also, having read through some of CDC info on flu vaccine, I would also weigh in on the severity of the allergy reaction to any component of the vaccine and if I would need to visit an allergy specialist.

A few years back, a facility where I was employed offered flu vaccine to all employees. At the time, this was not a condition of employment, I was one of the first to get shot, however not all were willing to get vaccinated. No surprise there! ...

That is only last month. Me/I have been ......since 2010 due to different circumstances. Flu Clinic specifically Mollen Immunization actively recruits if you need a job. Nice folks to work with!

i have not read all postings; i apologize if i repeat what others may have said. i would just start by saying this "let us just turn the table around" for the sake of fairness. supposing i was a displaced nurse having a chance to get retrained ...

More importantly, the people of Massachussetts wanted it and they got it. In contrast, the law we have now was signed while disregarding the People's wishes. Oh, really? You critics of this health care act certainly do not speak for me. ...

And it seems to me that if you have less debts to pay and to worry about, you can focus on your study a lot better.

Let us just say that a litter or L is 1000cc; 10,000 is 10 litter or 10L. A gallon is a little more than 3.78L; so, 10,000 a little less 3 or 2.6 gallon to be exact. This is a reply of posting #4/Zumalong

Thanks

More and more health facilities are now conscientious about environmental health; and they know the concept of : reduce, reuse, and recycle. Hats off also to those facilities that do not just clean, but also disinfect utensils (commode, bedpans, ur...

What it comes down to is that in general these MAs (whatever you call them) are just pleasant, professional, and trusted by the doctors these Mas working for.

Venting away and to have your heart broken does not really help the situation. The OP at least called the NH and inquired about the redness on his groin and cellulitis to his right leg. This 93 y.o man's wife has not been too excited about the care ...

"I do study hard but needing a 94 on the final is almost impossible, I am so depressed... I did call and apply to LPN school in case I fail.. I don't know what to do..." I did not know that there is such thing as part-time RN program. You indicate...

"thank you for your reply. this is so true. some nurses make up weights, fingersticks, vitals signs and so on. i've seen it with my own eyes. i know not every treatment is being done. at my facility all nurses are guilty of this. as stated previou...

I have not had a chance to read all the posts but here is a scenario. In some metropolitan cities, I have seen health professionals who go out in their scrubs on their lunch times to local restaurants or fast foods across the street because these ...

nikkicb2004, If the PRN narcotic for this particular patient does not contain acetaminophen, maybe he can be offered Tylenol and the anti anxiety med. The combination of the two works quite well also for pain. Or any other OTC pain medication tha...

countrychic01, Yes, by all means. I know of RNs who took LPN exam while in the RN program. Not only that this is good for your education, but it is also helpful for you financially. You can work as an LPN when time allows. Best of luck!

the reason there is so much controversy around the flu vaccine is because its efficacy is disputed. in addition, unless you're using individual vials, they're full of aluminum or thermion (preservatives) that are many times the "maximum dose limit." ...

[color=#808080]"sorry, te sarcasm in my post did not come across well." notpuurfctbtgdnghns just saw this post. i got you. though you did not come across as being sarcastic/hurtful. satirical maybe! makes me laugh.

I had been invited to an interview about 60 miles from where I live. I came. The Director of Nursing Services who had invited me by phone told me as soon as she saw me that the position had been filled from within. I do not know why things like th...
