  2. Lawsuit question

    amoLucia replied to PsychRN_CA's topic in Advanced Practice

    I think that link always pops up when you type up 'malpractice insurance'. It's driven by something in the computer program (AN's?). Gonna try it ... Yup! I didn't demarcate it! There's...

    amoLucia replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

  5. HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    amoLucia replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    stillcrazy - that episode WAS some time ago, right? I'd hate for it to be something still recent enough for some BON activity to occur. I think I'll be thinking of you whenever I grab a honeybun...

  6. Graduation almost here and still no job

    amoLucia replied to mmmar's topic in General Students

    to cameron5575 - very sensible approach. to mmmar - you're right. Women's service is a very competitive field, esp for new grads. And then consider that you've not finished school, nor have your...

  7. Calling human resources

    amoLucia replied to Nmink's topic in Nursing Career

    Just a suggestion re out-of-state applications. Consider applying for a license as soon as poss. It helps your application for the recruiters to know that you won't be waiting for an eternity for...

  9. What the heck? (fat-shaming at work)

    amoLucia replied to HopefulRN4ever's topic in Home Health

    marienm - very astute observation re some folk's self-depreciation. And then their clumsy attempts to foist it off elsewhere. So what! You made an unwise choice! NOTE: I didn't say 'BAD' like so...

    amoLucia replied to Juniper83's topic in General Nursing

    Yesterday, 11/3, was 6 months, to the date of my new CA dx. Yesterday I finally had my last pre CT scan, and now have my abd 'tatoos'. So I am now ready to start my radiation in 2 weeks. On May 4, I...

    amoLucia replied to dondk's topic in General Nursing

    TY for the comeback. Apologies accepted. But I have to tell you - it is NOT unheard of for some lump of food to be mushed into pureed food. It could have just been poorly pureed and buried in the...

  14. The Electoral College: How presidents are elected

    amoLucia replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I guess what I'm asking is how do I know WHO. Could one be my next-door neighbor? Do I call my local county political party? (Thought of those movies with the 'Pod

  15. The Electoral College: How presidents are elected

    amoLucia replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    OP - I still don't get it. So who are the 'electors'??? Sound like some sci-fi aliens who select our candidates, sight unseen or unknown. So who are the 'electors'?? Not their purpose, but

  16. MED ERROR went to corporate

    amoLucia replied to A.A.I.'s topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Am reading this late, but I have to say that I have some serious concerns. Bottom line is you admittedly gave a med 1.5 hours early. Too early! You knew that. Yet you've failed to admit that you...

  18. POLST

    amoLucia replied to dondk's topic in General Nursing

    dondk - This is different entry. As a long-time LTC/NURSING HOME RN PROFESSIONAL, I was upset, offended, hurt, even angered that you refer to us NHs as 'dumpers'. I think my 25+ LTC years out-trumps...

  19. POLST

    amoLucia replied to dondk's topic in General Nursing

    Combining the 2 bolded lines (my bolding) into my thinking, I ask ... how is the IV/ABT being administered??? If it's being done via a line for the SOLE purpose of antibiotic tx, , I see no problem...

  22. Is tape considered a restraint in this situation?

    amoLucia replied to TheCatsMeow's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    It's been some time for me, but I'd say this is prob something only your regulatory agency could answer. And then remember, it could all fall on the whims of an individual reviewer. Esp it pt is...

  23. Can "listen to the science" be misinterpreted as the doctor is always right?

    amoLucia replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    to trytounderstand - I like Dr Google too. For some real easy-to-understand detailed explanations. I've also had docs mis-prescribe or decline. Or over-recommend tests. I can understand their logic...

    amoLucia replied to HemOncAspire's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    OP has not been here since 11/2017. Just to add something. I had a 16 yo student in my teaching CNA course. She was a legally 'emancipated minor'. My facility checked it out and she was OK to...

  25. Night shift-no keys to central supply no keys to get briefs

    amoLucia replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Somehow this old post popped up on me and I laughed as I read it again. I'm reminded where I once worked as NOC super that I had MANY keys, but not ALL keys to all areas. Even though some areas I...
