  1. TV drug ad study

    Lawnurse replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    lol :) The law has to try to 'accomodate' all people, including people who aren't very smart. It was only a short while into my nursing career when I realized that human beings have an infinite...

  2. Verbal Contract Valid????

    Lawnurse replied to bise75's topic in Travel

    What her obligations are is the issue. If there are circumstances that void the contract, or there are circumstances under which a court is unwilling to enforce a contract, her obligations could...

  3. Physican restraints still being used???

    Lawnurse posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Previously I posted here when I was looking for a paper topic - and that discussion got bumped because it boardered on research, so I'm not looking for examples here. My professor wants me to focus on...

  4. Verbal Contract Valid????

    Lawnurse replied to bise75's topic in Travel

    "weasal out"? Her son is recovering from EYE SURGERY. I'm sure the OP would rather her son did NOT have eye surgery so that she could easily fulfill the contract...I doubt she is celebrating the eye...

  5. Verbal Contract Valid????

    Lawnurse replied to bise75's topic in Travel

    I'm not saying she had no contract - exactly the opposite. Verbal contracts are nonetheless contracts. The OP is definatly bound by the contract. However, there are extenuating circumstances here, and...

  6. TV drug ad study

    Lawnurse replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    And drug companies need a way to pay for it all this research. Drug companies create new drugs because they bring in money. Where else would we get new drugs if drug companies did not have an...

  7. Very angry

    Lawnurse replied to labman's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's part of the Miranda rights - the stuff they have to tell you when they get arrested and taken into custody. 1. You have the right remain silent 2. Anything you say can be held against you in...

    Lawnurse replied to labman's topic in Men in Nursing

    Criminal court. Crimes are heard in criminal court, where all defendants are entitled to a free

  9. Very angry

    Lawnurse replied to labman's topic in Men in Nursing

    Knowing there will be some false accusations, our justice system provides every defendant a FREE lawyer. As well as the right to call witnesses to back up their own story, and the right for their own...

  10. Latest US News & World Report Rankings of CRNA Schools

    Lawnurse replied to NGACRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I bet the admis. office of those schools would LOVE to tell you their rank - perhaps you could call

  11. Male Nurse and OB/GYN ? Is this okay ?

    Lawnurse replied to earthlovers123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are MANY male MDs who are OBGYNs - women docs don't dominate that specialty in medicine...should nursing be any different? IMHO, perhaps a male obgyn nurse would have a little bit of uphill...

  12. Completely innaccurate report!

    Lawnurse replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Rocknurse, you did exactly the right thing by calling the PACU nurse (in case there was some reasonable explanation) and then writing up an incident report, esp. considering she did not take the blame...

  14. Venting...Hosp pts coming from skilled nursing facilities

    Lawnurse replied to stidget99's topic in General Nursing

    anything from the ombudsman?

  15. Very angry

    Lawnurse replied to labman's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have, too (not in health care - in the education system). However, our justice system is set up so that 10 guilty people would go free before 1 innocent person would be convicted. Ergo, some...

  16. Very angry

    Lawnurse replied to labman's topic in Men in Nursing

    No, catagorically wrong. Hearsay is used in law enforcement all the time. "Hearsay" is only banned in the actual court of law when it is used to prove the truth of a matter, and there are almost 30...

  17. Consent for HIV testing

    Lawnurse replied to pricklypear's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I can't cite any particular law, but in the eyes of the courts, HIV testing is in a different realm than other medical information/testing. It is considered especially private. HIV testing is in a...

  18. Physican restraints still being used???

    Lawnurse replied to Lawnurse's topic in Psychiatric

    thank you for the reply - that is very interesting. Do you know who manufactures this or is it unique to your facility? other question - so a pt in 4 point restraints is restrained to a bed? How are...

  19. This is the stupidest thing I have ever done.

    Lawnurse replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    Just like people ride grocery carts while his/her spouse takes too long reading the nutrition labels. Obviously, the equivalent weight is a more compelling argument. A linen cart could be used to...

  20. does a NP average more money than a PA? can NP's work w/out a docs oversight?

    Lawnurse replied to pts's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is true in almost every state - but not in all - some states have doctors that lobby to keep NPs

  21. How to tell a friend she's not being a good nurse?

    Lawnurse replied to simao pt's topic in General Nursing

    You first posted saying what a problem you have with this nurse's current mode of behavior, then you wrote a long post defending her and explaining away her actions. Do you want to help her or make...

  22. This is the stupidest thing I have ever done.

    Lawnurse replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    The linen cart couldn't hold the weight of one person?I think it is foreseeable that a linen cart could be used to carry a load equal to the weight of one person. You could even argue that it was...

  23. Ever had a M.E. notify u in LTC

    Lawnurse replied to nursemid02's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You're right - I was confusing that with the M.E. talking about the case. Got foiled by that at work the other day when I called an M.E. for his opinion on a case I was working on. Thanks for clearing...

  24. Ever had a M.E. notify u in LTC

    Lawnurse replied to nursemid02's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    the purpose of an autopsy is to determine the cause of death. why would they call you? they need the family's permission. Seems anything they want to know from you is evidenced in the body. were they...

  25. Do 'goodlooking' nurses earn better salaries?

    Lawnurse replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    These things happen so often on such a small scale that its hard to quantify. Example: nurses has a pretty face and MD is naturally more drawn to make eye contact while the nurses is speaking, and...
