I'm scared to run tomorrow, or ever again- this has me paranoid:

Six medical employees were fired for unauthorized access to medical records at Mt. Sinai. Amazing even today that people don't realize their every keystroke at work (and becoming more so in your private home) can be traced. Not only did they all get...

I've worked in quite a few 5 star places that I wouldn't allow a dog to be admitted into. I've worked in even more places that were 2 stars, that were in reality much better than a lot of five star places. I think the average person takes the 'star' ...

Even if you are (yes, I know she died, I'm speaking hypothetically) Mother Theresa and leave with a 5 year notice, and wash the feet of your boss using your hair? You can still be made a 'never rehire'. This is all nonsense. What will happen will hap...

The hostility towards CNAs in this post would be shocking, if it weren't so typical in real life. There are two types of nurses in LTC. The first, the holier than thou, I'm the nurse and you're my minion, has never worked a day as an aide, never ans...

Constantly cutting staff pay, raising benefit costs, monitoring every staff hour on the clock and constant meeting to discuss those hours with the staff at every opportunity, constantly trying to scale back food costs, always trying to dream up ways ...

Here's the definition: Hate | Define Hate at Dictionary.com In my opinion, 'dirty' and 'ugly' fall right inline with it.

"Iko Iko", by Cyndi Lauper, is a great interpretation of the hypocrisy in America, that is also reflected in this forum. I can smoke dope because I have cancer, but you smoke dope because you're a drug addict, but I'm slim because it's OK to take die...

Wow. Finally someone not ragging the ''lazy aides". A Buddhist, or are you just clear headed and thoughtful? I get ill when I see all this aide bashing. My experience lends itself more to lazy nurses, more than lazy aides, by 'far'. Thanks for the ch...

Operative words are: attempteD, leaD, and workeD. Since you led nobody anywhere, how did achieve your goals of 'MAKING people do the right things'? This post is confusing. You are no longer there, so we have to consider the relevance of your wisdom. ...

Based on the scale and directives ordered along with the Coumadin dose, to prevent constant phone calls to and fro: "For INR from 1.00-2.00 give ___ MG of Coumadin","For INR 2.01-3.5give ___ MG of Coumadin", and so forth. Or, "Hold Coumadin for INR ...

Because your BON doesn't like you, maybe.

Tell just one of your 20, or 30 LTC patients on chronic pain meds that you can't give them their drug based on your VS assessments. Just one. Then get back with me, after you are discharged from the hospital with groin injuries.

Despite all of the above comments to the contrary: ignore them, all. Everywhere you may go to work, everyone knows how much everyone else makes. From the bottom to the top. It's just a game people play: 'none of your business', and etc. Most places e...

Better to be safe than sorry. I'm sure you don't want supoenaed as the nurse (with 5000 posts!) that decided a patient was dead, yet then he started moving at the morgue? I'm just saying- if there's ever a time to follow protocol to the strictest let...

An LVN cannot 'pronounce' death. In most states an RN cannot 'pronounce' death, and in those that they can, most require verification by another qualified, licensed person- it's a big deal, really, regardless of how many people die on you routinely. ...

The starting pay for retail pharmacists is well over 100K. The length of time to complete the degree, and the debt values, match the starting salaries. But I have l have always wondered how anyone can stand such a dull job, big bucks, or not. My fath...

There is opinion, and there is hate. This is hate. While you're on your hate trail, kf15- please also advise the few remaining female Holocaust survivors of how 'dirty' they are to have 'allowed' themselves to be branded by tatoos. It is unbelievable...

The health effects of obesity are clear. The cost to the health industry are becoming clear. The pushback against overweight is happening all over the place- like charging them more for flights. Overweight is the new tobacco issue. From a visual poin...

And if my disbelief that a nurse COULD get a license with pending criminal charges, there I found it- on the WA BON site, iteslf. It asks if you are facing prosecution for any crimes, and if yes? Do you want us to give you a license now, or wait unti...

Even though my writings in here may be casual and ofttimes spelt wrong (I hate reading glasses), your point is valid. I read through some of the resumes posted in this site, and they rather shock me with grammatical errors, and the like. Any online e...

Are you saying that the WA BON granted you a clear and unrestricted nursing license, knowing that you have unresolved, pending criminal charges against you in CA?

The call was not appropriate, even if in you felt you were advocating for the patient, rather than complaining about the agency. You bypassed the velvet rope, the protocol. What does the plan of care state regarding transferring that patient? Who ass...

I keep it at the desk by the phone. That deflects people from coming at the cart in the first place- nips it in the bud. They can jot a note based on pt., doctor, and what the issue is. Also keep labs, admit orders, clarifications, incident reports, ...

Anybody out there, wyo? My bags are packed, I'm waiting for you to tell me where to go!
