  1. Hitting a wall

    Susie2310 replied to BodhiHeart's topic in Critical Care

    Why didn't the residents want to

  2. As a Nurse, is it normal to be pushed around doing different jobs at the place you work?

    Susie2310 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    As discussed on another recent thread: "Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?" these consequences came about as a result of decisions and actions that were deliberately...

  3. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    Susie2310 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I would add to this, knowledge deficit in assisting patients with hygiene needs, cleaning incontinence, assisting patients when they have diarrhea, changing patients' gowns, and changing the...

  4. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    Susie2310 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I remember being exposed to a number of nursing theories, but I don't believe that nursing care being just a line item is due to nurses not supporting the profession having it's own theory. There are...

  5. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    Susie2310 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    While nurses work in other areas besides the hospital (although the majority of nurses work in hospitals), traditional bedside med-surg nursing education and training is fundamental to all of the...

  6. Wanting to Quit my Covid-19 job

    Susie2310 replied to Bbang's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wanted to respond to this because I have a family member who would have died if the staff hadn't immediately responded to their call light. They were very recently post-op, and somehow managed to...

  7. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Susie2310 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It seems it would be rather unusual for someone to go to the trouble and expense (assuming they involved a lawyer in drawing up their Advance Directives) of appointing a person they presumably trust...

  8. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Susie2310 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I appreciate your explaining your family situation. I wish you the best. I wish I could say that I have found surefire answers that make it possible for one to be effective in the moment in...

  9. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Susie2310 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I have inserted my thoughts in bold underneath your comments. I do not have any special expertise or knowledge on this subject. I mainly am speaking from what I have learned from my own experience,...

  10. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Susie2310 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Thank you for your thoughtful reply. You raise good questions and make good points. I will reply back once I have had the chance to think more about what you have

  11. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Susie2310 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I added more information to my post above and made a few other changes (in

  12. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Susie2310 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is a very thoughtful comment. In regard to your first two paragraphs I agree that this is quite possibly the underlying situation. The act of lumping the patient's closest family member/support...

  13. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Susie2310 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    As I understand it, and as I see it, in the case of a DPOA for Health Care that becomes valid when the patient is unable to give informed consent or understand the nature of their medical...

  14. Oxygen and the rebreather mask question

    Susie2310 replied to Slipping CMA's topic in General Nursing

    What was the medical problem that the patient sought care for? Did the situation you referred to take place in the hospital or an outpatient setting? Had the patient received a medical diagnosis for...

  15. "I think I made a mistake" ... 30 y/o Dies after Attending COVID-19 Party

    Susie2310 replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was thinking the same. Alcoholism is an enormous societal problem that often ruins the lives of family members of alcoholics just as it does the lives of alcoholics. Add to that drink-driving and...

  16. Why haven't hospital systems in hard-hit areas reached out to state BONs to find out if there are former ICU or other high-demand specialty nurses?

    Susie2310 replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The OP's area apparently is, according to the OP, experiencing an actual shortage of ICU and dialysis nurses. And areas that aren't currently experiencing shortages of specialty nurses could do so in...

  17. Why haven't hospital systems in hard-hit areas reached out to state BONs to find out if there are former ICU or other high-demand specialty nurses?

    Susie2310 replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have read of some nurses in positions of influence expressing comments that suggest to me that they are concerned that those who currently have jobs may be replaced by volunteer recruits. I think...

  18. Why haven't hospital systems in hard-hit areas reached out to state BONs to find out if there are former ICU or other high-demand specialty nurses?

    Susie2310 replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The nursing speciality organizations, of which there are many, have information about which nurses are currently certified in a specialty together with the nurses' contact

  19. Why haven't hospital systems in hard-hit areas reached out to state BONs to find out if there are former ICU or other high-demand specialty nurses?

    Susie2310 replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nursing specialty organizations could provide information about who is specialty certified in different states/counties. I would have thought that making contact by letter/e-mail with nurses who are...

  20. Covid 19 Crisis Standards of Care: How Are They Operating?

    Susie2310 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I understand that Covid 19 Crisis Standards of Care have been instituted and are now operating. I read that in some state/s health care providers have been granted immunity from personal injury...

  21. Covid 19 Crisis Standards of Care: How Are They Operating?

    Susie2310 replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

  22. Covid 19 Crisis Standards of Care: How Are They Operating?

    Susie2310 replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I appreciate your reply. To clarify, when I referenced COBRA I was referring to Emergency Care

  23. Nursing Informatics (NI)

    Susie2310 replied to Lisa Brooks's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I found your article interesting, upbeat, and encouraging, but from everything I read, nursing informatics jobs are not easy to come by for the great majority of people, even with an MSN in nursing...
