  1. Dear People Who CONSTANTLY fax Health 485s

    JZ_RN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Home Health

    These are patients receiving a community health voucher for home health care. They are not insured patients and not paying out of pocket. We have an underserved population and usually they can only...

  2. Disrespect from Medical Assistants

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

    I have spoken with my manager. She took me out of their area so they stopped using me to do all their work. I honestly, if this were my old job, would just have said "do your own work" and written...

  4. Patients who call the clinic 1 day before meds run out for refills

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

    I also want them to stop dropping angry people right to my phone line when I'm with patients. And I also want them to stop telling patients to just "come in and the nurse will address your issues"...

  5. Patients who call the clinic 1 day before meds run out for refills

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

  6. Patients who call the clinic 1 day before meds run out for refills

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

    We do follow the policy, I have never not followed it, However, then they show up at the clinic screaming and throwing fits and threatening to sue, and it's just getting old. They have time to come...

  7. Patients who call the clinic 1 day before meds run out for refills

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

    I wish this could work but with our patient population many of the medications need reassessment before refilling and the patients move, switch pharmacies, switch phones, etc. If they had every refill...

  8. Narcotics administration

    JZ_RN replied to schoolmack's topic in Patient Medications

    If a person says they have pain, I don't know if they really do or not, some hide pain, some exaggerate pain, I am not a mind reader. If you have respirations adequate enough to have a dose, no...

    JZ_RN replied to CCMNursingStudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I use a batclip on my hip for my littman master classic II and it's good, I always have the problem with my scrub pants falling down... XXS petites are even too

  10. Would you marry a Doctor?

    JZ_RN replied to fleurafor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I love some doctors, hate others, for the most part though, I wouldn't want to be married to a doctor, rough hours, stress, possible conflict and 2 people bring home every possible infections bacteria...

  13. Patient Care And Customer Service Are Not The Same!

    JZ_RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm a nurse, not a servant. I provide care, not "service." I wish people could get it through their

  14. I don't want to work in a nursing home...

    JZ_RN replied to ProudStudent's topic in General Students

    I was an RN in LTC and I did lots of "clinical" work. I hated it for other reasons though, the understaffing, the lack of supplies, the lack of respect, violent patients, rude managers, working...

  16. The Elderly Are Devalued

    It wasn't the elderly that were my problem with LTC nursing, I loved those people. It was the management and lack of staffing, supplies, and anything we needed to care for

    JZ_RN replied to PrincessO's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    She agreed to half a shift, not a whole shift, the duty is hers for the time she agreed to, there was another person to relieve her, the supervisor, but she didn't want to. If you don't want to accept...

  18. Am I asking for too much

    JZ_RN replied to mvm2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  22. Dangerous and Demented: What Usually Happens?

    JZ_RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A horrible one that I quit. 5 stars my eye. They didn't care about the residents and certainly not about the nurses or other staff. Never happier than when I got to quit there. I miss some of those...

  23. Abnormal UA

    JZ_RN replied to iisonu's topic in Nursing Career

    Like I said, I wasn't intending to be judgmental to people with addiction problems, just those who attempt to lie and cheat the system to get away with it instead of seeking real help. I don't drink,...
