  2. Privatization of Health Care

    Da Monk replied to ianyeh's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I heartily agree that the idea of "customer service" has been carried too far. I believe that it compromises the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship, especially in psychiatric nursing. When you are...

  3. Where are all you SC nurses?

    Da Monk replied to RedVaz's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I am currently in Greenville. I graduated from a diploma program in Norfolk, Va. in '75 and later from MUSC with a BSN and later an MSN in Adult Psych MH Nursing. I've been out of work for a...

  4. "undercover" patients in New Mexico

    Da Monk replied to mscsrjhm's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to add that in my subspecialty, psychiatric nursing, so-called customer service initiatives have led to poor patient care at times by eroding the ability of the nurse to make effective...

  5. Workplace Bully

    Da Monk replied to kimballina's topic in General Nursing

    Your institution should have a policy on verbal abuse and harrassment. She should be censured for behavior of that type. It is your duty to take this to a superior if it continues. If the behavior is...

  8. A question about Diploma Nurses

    Da Monk replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    It's such a mess in nursing education. These problems have been around so long. Look up Esther Lucile Brown and see what she recommended almost 60 years ago. Then look up the Flexner Report and see...

  9. A question about Diploma Nurses

    Da Monk replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    In SC you need a BSN to teach clinicals at the ADN level, but an MN or MSN to teach at the ADN level in the classroom. I am flabbergasted than an ADN grad is hired to teach anywhere. At the university...

  11. "undercover" patients in New Mexico

    Da Monk replied to mscsrjhm's topic in General Nursing

    Looks as if those institutional administrators have been fooled again into thinking healthcare practice is akin to working at Holiday Inn Express, WalMart, or

  12. What do you think of this surgical flub-up?

    Da Monk replied to begalli's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for a number of years in the OR during my career. As the circulating nurse, I experienced the scenario several times of my closing count being incorrect, but the surgeon kept saying there was...

  13. weekend differential

    Da Monk replied to allevi's topic in General Nursing

    On my last job, the weekend pay was $8.00 per hour and the off shift diff was $3.30 per hour all week. This topped all other hospitals in the area. There was a $3.00 per hour raise across the board...

  14. New BUSH Overtime TakeBack Law

    Da Monk replied to alatta58's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My point being is it seemed to me the author's rhetoric was crafted by the Dems. I could provide something similar from the other side, but I will not. A thread should have been started about why...
