  8. Violence against nurses

    sanctuary replied to sanctuary's topic in Oregon Nursing

    There is no law preventing the reporting of such. The problem for Oregon nurses, especially in locked facilities is that they have been told by the police and the DAs that there is no reason to press...

  9. Pt Threats and Name Badges (again)

    sanctuary replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    :Melody: :w00t: Fly a flag and strike up the band, Timothy. Finally I agree with you totally. In the "old days" nurses were known to all and sundry as Mz. Splashalot, and if you were a close...

  15. Andrea Yates R.N.

    sanctuary replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    As a legal term, insanity, in most states, means that the person's behavior was directly related to the delusional thinking. Texas has a more simplistic one, in defining sanity as "knowing right from...

  16. Conflicted

    sanctuary replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Pediatric

    How hard. Every state and county has a set of Administrative Rules, or laws that determine what must happen. Look it up, then hold the SW feet to the fire. In most states, RNs are mandated reporters,...

    sanctuary replied to ortess1971's topic in First Year After Licensure
