  1. Hops requiring nurses sign no Falling contract, Is this legal???

    Susie2310 replied to psmith118's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you already chart that you have assessed for fall risks and implemented fall precautions, and that you have educated the patient on this? Isn't your documentation in the patient's medical...

  2. Hops requiring nurses sign no Falling contract, Is this legal???

    Susie2310 replied to psmith118's topic in General Nursing

    Sarcasm here . . . This important agreement should be included in the admission paperwork and posted on the facility web site under "Patient responsibilities when receiving care: This is your...

  3. Hops requiring nurses sign no Falling contract, Is this legal???

    Susie2310 replied to psmith118's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how requiring a patient to sign a "fall assistance agreement" could be legally or ethically valid no matter what setting the patient is receiving care in. Acutely ill patients/inpatients...

  4. nurses who are bad patients

    Susie2310 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly.

  5. nurses get blamed because the public don't understand medical

    Susie2310 replied to sleeptime's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Examples of some nursing "checks" aka nursing assessments: post-operative "checks"; neuro "checks"; pupil "checks"; post-procedure "checks"; any other "check" aka assessment required to be performed...

  6. nurses get blamed because the public don't understand medical

    Susie2310 replied to sleeptime's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know the articles you're referring to, but if an RN is required to check on a patient i.e. assess a patient every thirty minutes, this is a nursing function that requires the knowledge of a...

  7. CE Courses

    Susie2310 replied to nerdynurse7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I checked recently and found that sixteen states don't require any CE's at all for license renewal. This was a shock to

  8. What does a nurse need to know when they arrive on the floor? (I'm creating a brainsheet)

    Susie2310 replied to MissPichu's topic in General Nursing

    If you type "brain sheets" or "report sheets" in the search bar you will find lots of very good brain sheets that members have

  9. Recycled topics (vent)

    Susie2310 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I find the attitude of the person posting a thread on a well worn frequent topic more important than the actual topic. For example, if I feel someone is asking a question such as "What is the fastest...

  10. What Kind of Threads Do You ENJOY Reading?

    Susie2310 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I like reading about people's own experiences when an OP is fairly modest and open to different view points; what they learned, the journey they took, and so on. These are my favorite types of

  11. CNA scope of practice issue on my unit

    Susie2310 replied to nurseredd's topic in General Nursing

    Besides coming down to facility policy, it comes down to what activities one's state Board of Registered Nursing permits to be delegated, per the Nurse Practice Act. Patient care activities in my...

  12. Any nurse practitioners wish they had be physical therapists?

    Susie2310 replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm curious as to why you believe one's own assets are usually exempt from a lawsuit. I'm not a lawyer, but the only situation I am aware of where this might apply would be if one had formed a certain...

  13. Patients wants a back rub

    Susie2310 replied to Oceanpacific's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with the above posts on the importance of back rubs and assisting patients with bathing. During the first week first of my ADN program (over 20 years ago) prior to starting clinicals the next...

  14. Patients wants a back rub

    Susie2310 replied to Oceanpacific's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, no bathing any more, and no linen changes. I've seen this for several years now. My family member was given a complimentary personal hygiene kit they were too sick to use (not that anyone...

  15. Confessions of a Hospital Administrator: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    Susie2310 replied to ServantLeader's topic in General Nursing

    In the opening paragraph of the OP, the OP referenced the John Hopkin's study about medical mistakes, and then asked a Chief Medical Officer about medical mistakes. The OP said that the CMO replied:...

  16. Confessions of a Hospital Administrator: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    Susie2310 replied to ServantLeader's topic in General Nursing

    With all respect to the OP, the article is an over-simplification, as is the statement by the Chief Medical Officer that: "It's not a matter of fault but a bad process." Of course, it would be...

  17. Post-Orientation Doubts

    Susie2310 replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Students

    I attended a community college ADN program. While it was intense, I can recall a single group project. It was certainly not necessary to study in groups unless one wanted to. Some people did, and...

  18. FAILED CEN Exam

    Susie2310 replied to JENURSE03_RN's topic in Emergency

    According to your post history you took the NCLEX less than a year ago. Are you working as an ER nurse? Your credentials say you are a MSN

  19. Nursing Niceness

    Susie2310 replied to xdrowe's topic in General Nursing

    The internet isn't a support group. People posting, even when the common ground is nurses/nursing, are widely diverse, with widely diverse life experiences, values, and beliefs. People reply to...

  20. Was this a blood transfusion reaction?

    Susie2310 replied to blahblahblah172's topic in Critical Care

    What IV antibiotics had the patient

  21. Was this a blood transfusion reaction?

    Susie2310 replied to blahblahblah172's topic in Critical Care

    I assumed from your post that you received the patient from another unit or the ER. Since the patient had severe sepsis (and GI bleeding), prior to your receiving them I am assuming they received IV...

  22. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    Susie2310 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you always disheartened when other people don't share your view point? As far as I know this forum is not primarily for the promotion of NP school. Every time the word NP is mentioned in a thread...

  23. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    Susie2310 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, to be fair, you did receive a number of responses which supported your views and which were supportive of your ambitions. You received some which didn't, but disagreement isn't necessarily...

  24. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    Susie2310 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Terms of Service does encourage lively debate where people have the freedom to disagree with other people on any type of subject matter as long as they are constructive and

  25. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    Susie2310 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If people only expect to read posts on a thread that conform to their own views I think they would be well advised to start their own Blog where they have the power to edit and refuse posts from...
