    How Would You Report This Illegal Work Situation??

    CrunchRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, she can draw blood and stuff under a physician most likely. Depends on whether your state requires they be a certified MA or just allows it under the MD license. This is pretty endemic in the...

    Free Standing Emergency Rooms

    CrunchRN replied to Elle23's topic in Emergency

    Ruby, OP is talking about actual free-standing ED's. The ones that are popping up here in the last 3 years are unaffiliated with hospitals. They have ER docs, ER nurses, and most ancillaries...

    Free Standing Emergency Rooms

    CrunchRN replied to Elle23's topic in Emergency

    Ours are non-affiliated (the one I went to). They were actually very impressive. Our insurance covered it except a 75 buck copay. However, insurance changed and they are no longer covered. I wish...

    Free Standing Emergency Rooms

    CrunchRN replied to Elle23's topic in Emergency

    We have them and they have CT and US and ER nurses and can do so much more than urgent care. It always seems deserted when I drive by on my commute. However, we had to go there one night about 7pm...

    Performing Lipodissolve Procedure

    CrunchRN replied to Paperplate's topic in General Nursing

    And where are they getting the compounded med from? Must be an "approved" pharmacy I believe. Especially in view of what happened with contaminated compounded meds

    CrunchRN replied to WillowNMe's topic in Texas Nursing

    The nurses I talk to at all of them seem happy. Especially the THR ones. It is kind of hot and humid in summer, but not like the deep south. Get a pool if you can. Where are u coming

    CrunchRN replied to NurseFries's topic in Health, Stress Management

    First off, it is just a job! It is not worth feeling that upset over. See a counselor who can help you get things in better perspective. Then find a job you don't hate. Work is a means to fund...

    CrunchRN replied to danmyers22's topic in General Students

    If you want to be a hospital or long term care nurse then yes you will deal with it regularly. Other areas of nursing less so. It is just fine if you do not want to continue. You are young and have...

    Doctor's order for MMSE?

    CrunchRN replied to nelge16v's topic in General Students

    Yes you would, but that is my opinion not fact. The MMSE is a screening test, but it needs to be administered by someone who has been taught the proper way to administer and score it and who knows...

    CrunchRN replied to megan215's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You are better being honest. The thing is people just never mention the pregnancy and then do not hire because of it. That way no one can prove anything.... That is how it works in reality. However,...
