    Please help. Case for board discipline?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Dalia99's topic in General Nursing

    I would ignore the gossip. If you ever have formal communication on the matter form the BON, do not NOT respond to it personally. Retain an attorney immediately and let them respond on your behalf....

    Do Nursing Management positions offer the 3 day 12 hour schedules?

    Funding for conferences

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The tuition and many of the related expenses will also be tax

    Holiday Gifts for PCT's

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to PinkNBlue's topic in General Nursing

    I think the efforts that go into homemade foods are thoughtful, but people should be mindful that many do not eat sugary or fatty foods, even at the holidays. It really would be a shame to waste your...

    Stealth Discouragement and Opposition from surprising sources

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to bsnanat2's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When I went to graduate school I never told a single solitary co-worker; my graduation and subsequent resignation were a complete surprise all of my colleagues and administrators. The only people who...

    Emergency Nurse Practitioner Certification

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Corey Narry's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am pleased to see this, I think it is a good move. I am not one that would be interested, or qualify, but I am always encouraged to see opportunity for additional credentialing in our

    Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    FWIW, I don't live in the NE. As my family's finances are secure and retirement assured irrespective of our present and future income, we are no longer motivated by salary or cost of living issues,...

    leaving my job gave a 2 weeks manager very rude.

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to purpleRN6163's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You don't owe it her as much as you owe it yourself. Her behavior is a reflection on her, your is a reflection on you. No person is any better than their word. You said you would work, you are...

    Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    5:21 pm by zenman Quote from SycamoreStudent In this case it is the very real resrictions southern states place on NP practice, and not the stereotypes you mentioned. That's right, plus...

    Scheduling conflicts

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to JackFrostRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, we had people that didn't like it when we instituted it. They had the option to adapt or transfer out. They chose to adapt and life went

    New Nurse with hepatitis C

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to nurse1015's topic in General Nursing

    They can screen you for communicable disease as part of a pre-employment physical, and probably will. Not all places do comprehensive screening, it is expensive. My present job limited the screening...

    Scheduling conflicts

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to JackFrostRN's topic in General Nursing

    The most successful schedule I ever wrote was a repeating spreadsheet type thing. It covered all the needs with the FTEs we had allotted. For instance, say for simplicity you have twenty 1.0 FTEs,...

    Missed the deadline on Preemployment Drug Screen

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to Seas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't disagree with the others, but from my days working with larger hospital systems I can tell you the bigger problem for us would have been not the missed deadline, but that you didn't do it...

    called in sick, nurse manager calling back (inappropriate tactics?)

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to jbaggins's topic in General Nursing

    Not to derail, but I simply cannot fathom not having a home telephone. I guess if you really cannot afford it, try this: get the $10 track phone and use that for the home phone. Only provide that...

    Can NPs own a specialty clinic?

    called in sick, nurse manager calling back (inappropriate tactics?)

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to jbaggins's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, completely off the rails. Why does she even have your cell phone numbers? She has no business texting you, ever. If my boss ever sent me a text message I think I'd "have a cow," as they saying...

    What to do about refusing Dr. orders?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to nancynurse0828's topic in General Nursing

    I think Brandon is being unnecessarily castigated here. For the most part, you people are arguing about the word subordinate. Substitute, if you will, the term subaltern, which describes the...

    Obamacare: Should I get out while I still can?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to TexasAbby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    1) Actually, if you will notice, I never suggested the ACA was "a great thing" and I do not, in fact, hold that opinion. I have not been a strong supporter of it. I merely took issue with your...

    What to do about refusing Dr. orders?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to nancynurse0828's topic in General Nursing

    Brandon's first post was not clearly stated, but he defines his point here, and I agree with him (and with respect, I rarely agree with Brandon. We just do not find much common ground, pal. )...

    Obamacare: Should I get out while I still can?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to TexasAbby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No one is "slinging mud" except perhaps whomever wrote the inaccurate piece you cut and pasted, lol. I am a bit perplexed that one would be disinterested in reviewing data (facts, in this case)...

    Unhappy with first NP Job, need advice!

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to jennylynn_1983's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think you, and they, are both learning your new role. They don't know how to best utilize you either. You may not be maxamizing your capabilities now, but you are on a learning curve and I think...

    Obamacare: Should I get out while I still can?

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to TexasAbby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Amanda, most of your "facts" are just patently untrue. I won't bother with them individually, it isn't worth the time. Rather, I will point you to the MIT economist and perhaps the foremost expert...

    Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As an aside, Steve Wynn has a very nice hotel. I frequently attend seminars in Vegas, which are usually held (inexplicably) at the Venetian, a sub par establishment. I always stay at the Encore; let...

    Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I was mostly joking, I think he is near retirement age anyway, so the whole thing was always a nonstarter. If he'd said he would move to Canada or something, that might actually be interesting to...

    Doctor tells patients he will quit if President Obama is re-elected

    BlueDevil,DNP replied to chicarn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Is there an update? Did he opt to sell real estate or work in retail instead? Naw, I didn't think
