  1. Suspension

    amoLucia replied to stasiastar's topic in General Nursing

    This is kind of like when an employee telephones ahead to the on-duty shift and asks a friend to 'check out' the schedule for him/her. Then depending on the staffing, the emp will then make another...

  2. BEWARE of online nursing degrees

    amoLucia replied to scandy's topic in General Nursing

  3. Care Plan for innefective tissue perfusion

    amoLucia replied to dana_marco's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Uh, question - how will you measure your STG of improved wound healing?!?!? And for this a goal has to be realistic. I don't think anybody's THAT good to heal a wound in one shift! How could you even...

    amoLucia replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    Still, for $9/month you can't beat that price. I'm sure your auto insurance or health insurance costs

  8. Don't want to be scalped!!!! HELP!!

    amoLucia replied to catnfl's topic in Psychiatric

    This is going to sound so silly, even to me, but I would hope that any employees (incl males) would have their hair styled tightly to their head as to avoid the loose flowing Rapunzel locks so often...

  9. NSO - Expired Insurance

    amoLucia replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    Renew the policy. An NSO policy is usually around $108, or about $9 /month. That's about the monthly cost of 1 super, duper coffee mocha café latte with whipped topping and a cherry on top. Altho...

  10. 2nd job?

    amoLucia replied to Name9335's topic in Nursing Career

    I used to think that I'd might enjoy a job working at a nice card shop or florist shop at the mall. Not a lot of money but I think the aesthetic aspects of the job might be a tradeoff for the low

  15. Just show up for visit? Whats your take?

    amoLucia replied to Fholmeslpn's topic in Home Health

    Were you tying multiple calls to reach them? Otherwise, I'd be concerned if there was not any contact. Do you have a documented 'next of kin' or somebody else to call in these situations? Maybe you...

  17. Please Help! Abandonment and Retro Pay

    amoLucia replied to YellowBirdz's topic in General Nursing

    If you had called out 'SICK' just 5 hours before your next starting shift, I'm sure you would NOT have been considered as 'abandoning' your pts. You'd have been 'SICK'. You might have annoyed your...

    Oooops. Guilty as charged once. Only my report was "101B - SOS Same old Sammie". "102A ----" Guy was with us forever, just waiting for a NH bed. Easy care. Nothing going on. Cognitively impaired, but...

  24. Friending patient families on social media?

    amoLucia replied to Missie Hannie's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Ditto to the recommendation to avoid media contact. I find it interesting to think that healthcare has existed for centuries WITHOUT involved parties having to feel some need to maintain past...

    amoLucia replied to J Friday's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This was my first thought, too!And re 'Safe Harbor'. "Safe Harbor" is that you are basically accepting an assignment UNDER PROTEST. You can outright refuse an assignment but then that would be grounds...
