  2. Politcally incorrect rant aka how my day went

    rngreenhorn replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, if anyone ever offers a "salaried position"--- RUN! I'm not in management (I used to be), the list is just general observations that I have made. As always though, when speaking in stereotypes,...

    rngreenhorn replied to Rachel2004RN's topic in Rehabilitation

  17. Nursing Theory Mystification Model

    rngreenhorn posted a topic in General Students

    I have a 1154 page Public Health Nursing textbook. Never before have so many words been written that mean so little. They could easily summize the entire book in a couple of short essays. The...

    rngreenhorn replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Students

  20. My nursing theory of BM for my BS

    rngreenhorn posted a topic in General Students

  22. HIPAA help

    rngreenhorn replied to 2greeneyes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Oops, My bad, I missed the "portability" in my post. What HIPAA really stands for is "bureaucracy and paperwork that no one but JCAHO looks at, and no one cares about, but that makes our job more...

  23. Misery loves company?

    rngreenhorn replied to laughingnurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What a sad commentary on our society. Whether it is a troll or not. You all know that an RN at a nursing home is responsible for 25 or more people. There is no way that one person can take care of...

  25. HIPAA help

    rngreenhorn replied to 2greeneyes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The Health Insurance and Accountablity Act is wayyyyyyyy over-rated. And way over taught in Nursing School. Tell your sister to suck it up and to stop being a wussy. No one is going to prison
