    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    KalipsoRed21 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I feel like we are rapidly reaching jump ship level. My own sister (in her 40s with 4 kids and natural born Texas/US citizen) is actively migrating her family to Canada next year. Her daughter with a...

    Documenting a medication given by a physician

    KalipsoRed21 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So let's say a doctor put in an order for a med. Tells you he gave the med and please document. I document that the provider states he administered this medication. I have tried not documenting it...

    Prescription Verification - Let's place everything on the doctor.

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    And that I 100% agree with. But as a nurse, I am disturbed that even other LVN an RNs in an ambulatory office setting seem disempowered to do basic problem solving. My manager even supports such. I...

    Prescription Verification - Let's place everything on the doctor.

    KalipsoRed21 posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I hate how inefficient healthcare has become. My husband and I have Express Scripts. They say they sent us an order of Losartan and my husband shouldn't be out. He would have been 30 days short....

    Kids and working 8-5pm

    KalipsoRed21 posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    So my surgery clinic position is 8-5pm. We hypothetically get a lunch. I say "we", but it is just me and an LVN 20-30 patients a day total spread across 8 different surgical specialties. I...

    Humiliated and scared

    KalipsoRed21 replied to Overthamoon's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent advice. Also I would ensure that all this testing they demanded would be billed to the hospital if it wasn't...you may not win, but all you needed to do was prove you weren't intoxicated in...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Floyd, have admit here, you sound a little nuts. You went to the ER you work at, was able to not get yourself fully triaged (cause it sounds like IF you were the average Joe coming in off the street...

    Management Criticism: "We see you care a great deal…"

    KalipsoRed21 posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So in 15 years of nursing I've had many evaluations of my abilities as a nurse. What has kind of just started making me laugh is that when it gets to the critique part this is constantly what I get...

    ASSume

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. And that is all she really needed to say. "I'm sorry, there is no one to send to assist you, is there any other way I can help.” And I would have been like "no, thanks for checking.” Because...

    KalipsoRed21 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today I asked for help for my clinic. My normal supervisor and manager weren't in. So I sent my request up the chain because we are like a week behind. Management came back with a "I need to...

    ? I do hope you read that the term you in my response was a generalized you and not intended to be personalized? You as in any person, not you a poster. I am not angry. I will not tolerate...

    ASSume

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Also, respect goes both ways. She didn't throw a cuss word at me, but condescending statements don't require cuss words to be just as disrespectful as a cuss word. Just because I called out her ***...

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I have been able to walk out off a job twice with no notice, and get another one within a week without any issue and telling them that I walked off. Everyone is so desperate for nurses that you barely...

    I think Time Management is such a funny term. Mostly because it assumes that there is time available for me to manage something. My current rock and hard place is this clinic I work at. It is my...

    Documenting a medication given by a physician

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I do that too. I' m just tired of the Poole who are suppose to be able to provide problem solving skills and guidance being less experienced than me. But I sure as *** don't want to be a manager....

    Documenting a medication given by a physician

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I think, but manager said greater liability in documenting it in the MAR under administration even with the comment. I guess I can just put it in a note....surely some other *** will have...

    Overly sensitive, or bullying/inappropriate behavior?

    KalipsoRed21 replied to evilolive07's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nursing is not a flexible job. It is a great misfortune that businesses try to call themselves "family", I believe this leads to a great misunderstanding between employees and employers. But this is...

    Management Criticism: "We see you care a great deal…"

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sorry if you felt my response was anger at you. I'm not angry with you or the dedication you had for your job. I'm just angry in general at the poor work conditions apparently managers and staff...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    KalipsoRed21 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    This is useless information that further points out how bad healthcare is. If I Google search how much an MRI of the knee costs on average, Google says it costs $500-$2000. In 2017 my husband's...

    Inevitable Resignation

    KalipsoRed21 replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry you dad had to endure that lack of care. I agree with you about the reporting thing being very disheartening. I reported serious hospital violations to the state of Texas as well and...
