  1. TN BON decides tomorrow

    mlbluvr replied to Abbsy's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Laid out in the open, is an understatement. On the BON site, every detail about your friend is freely available to the public. Arrest record, conviction, details of every BON meeting/minutes, and...

  2. Is health care a "right"

    mlbluvr replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's a fact. And WOW- how is THIS economy here working for you? You can't be one of the 1000's in AN looking for ways to find a job,

  3. Combined admission and 5 day

    mlbluvr replied to nursepilotdyna's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Possibly, this is also a HIPPA violation. Even though the payer may have the right to receive MDS information that is legally required for payment and other protected reasons- the MDS you submitted...

  4. Combined admission and 5 day

    mlbluvr replied to nursepilotdyna's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Why would you submit a 5 day with a comprehensive? Is that the policy of the place you work? Why didn't your software flag that, if not? Did you indicate the pay source was Med-A? If yes, you need to...

  5. medication mismanagement?

    mlbluvr replied to Eyerly's topic in Patient Medications

    I was fired once for suggesting that since I worked night shift, and night shift charted in red ink, and that other than work I'd never use red ink- so maybe the facility should buy my red pens? To...

  6. Is health care a "right"

    mlbluvr replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    PPACA will destroy the health care system in America, which it is actually covertly designed to. Hence the thousand's of pages, the constant changes- to keep everyone guessing. The real intent of...

  7. help me understand this - alcohol testing

    mlbluvr replied to remmsyaya's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Why did you self report, since your job performance was not affected? I'm suspecting you felt you would be 'taken into the fold', 'have the wagons drawn around you', so you could be nurtured back to...

  8. Is health care a "right"

    mlbluvr replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not only 'out for myself', but are we actually hearing nurses in this forum advocate that not everyone is entitled to health care, which provides our very occupations? Like tewdles said in another...

  9. Best Burn Centers in US??

    mlbluvr replied to guest454229's topic in Burn

    Used to do 'weekend warrior' assignments to the burn unit in a children's hospital. It was a regional place, so it had babies to adults. The worst for me was the screaming, aside from the horrific and...

  10. Fair Discipline????

    mlbluvr replied to julliette2008's topic in Nursing Career

    I think the correct technical term for people like that is 'brown nose'. And really, the fact is that most managers can't stand a 'brown-nose' (slang= 'suck-up', BTW), but they let they play their...

  11. Application to the Florida BON

    mlbluvr replied to AlbieH's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Was not the paraphenalia 'related to the use of drugs or alcohol'? But, is a traffic ticket a crime, according the the BOB? I'd talk to a lawyer. Possibly you might call the BON anonymously to ask...

  12. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    mlbluvr replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In fact- this post is about as obscene and hypocritical as a defense lawyer claiming that indigent people ought not be entitled to the services of a public defender. Amazing. But not

  13. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    mlbluvr replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For a nurse, a person that makes a LIVING off people with health insurance, while at the SAME time there are tens of THOUSANDS of nurses that cannot find work, to rag against health care as a human...

  14. Help I have a HH interview this Friday

    mlbluvr replied to RN4life08's topic in Home Health

    BTW? Why not do the same even if you are already employed? A few of you will find your employer has filed for bankrupcty, is being sold, is delinquent on taxes, and etc. And don't just use Google-...

  15. Help I have a HH interview this Friday

    mlbluvr replied to RN4life08's topic in Home Health

    Many agencies and hospices are scams, and I've been ripped off by two of them that fled town in the dark of night, without paying their staff. How to weed out the rats: Check for a state operating...

  16. DNS overruled MD?!

    mlbluvr replied to JBMmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    SNFs are certainly next targeted for sending people to the hospital, when chart reviews indicate that the treatment the hospital provided was in fact fully available in the SNF, for sure. That's on...

  17. CA BVNPT Enforcement delays, how long was your wait?

    mlbluvr replied to ddlvnv's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I've had the exact opposite experience with the state of CA. Prompt, even TOO prompt replies, courteous (even almost friendly) correspondence, and clear, concise directives from that office. And on...

  18. DNS overruled MD?!

    mlbluvr replied to JBMmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Of course you're right, but of course it isn't going to happen. Aside from the constant cuts and Republican threats to Medicaid, there's also a growing push to divert Medicaid funds more to HCBS, and...

  19. DNS overruled MD?!

    mlbluvr replied to JBMmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Exactly- so what's another call to the doctor to request another CXR, STAT labs, then try to find the IV start kit (that has no needles or tubing in it), after you call 911 for the hip fracture in the...

  20. TN BON decides tomorrow

    mlbluvr replied to Abbsy's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Why was your DL revoked? Did you explain that to the BON? I'm sure they want to

  21. Extensive Background Check from Kaiser Permanente?

    mlbluvr replied to WhatIsEconomy's topic in General Nursing

    LexisNexis is a vast, pervasive legal information collecting company that mines public information from police reports and courts about arrests and convictions, and sells it to anybody that wants to...

  22. Expungement: Reality check.

    mlbluvr replied to SuzieVN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    State agencies (BON, law, etc.) have permanent access to expunged criminal records. And even if they didn't, every BON requires you to self report convictions, even if 'expunged'. Most even require...

  23. Are you a VN or an RN?

    mlbluvr replied to mlbluvr's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Yes, what I meant it is FELT like 30 hours of meetings. Sometimes it felt like 30 hours of meetings every DAY,

  24. Help! I don't "get" vents!!!

    mlbluvr replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in MICU, SICU

    Anybody- please offer your opinions as to why, really, so many thousands of people in this country are being kept alive by ventilators. And please, by all means - cut my head OFF before you ever...

  25. doing duties I dont think I should be

    mlbluvr replied to jess_v's topic in Home Health

    Why do you care what your duties are? I did HHA years ago and would do 'anything' I could think of to help pass the boring time. Even clean a toilet, or mowing the lawn, I didn't care. I can't stand...
