1. If we make BSN the entry level degree, we should be paid more

   toomany replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism

   There is just no evidence to support that more education means better nurses. I just hope that a mandatory bsn would control supply and demand and help sustain nurse wages.

2. DOH investigation

   toomany replied to toomany's topic in LTC Directors

   Yeah, I know in general you could complain any time but I just never see that happening. Personally, I have never made a complaint about something months later. never had that happen with doh reports either. Also, it's kinda odd, I thought the do...

3. DOH investigation

   toomany replied to toomany's topic in LTC Directors

   Its really Odd they are so far behind in Massachusetts, if they're was a problem it seems incomprehensible to let it ride for three months. For most med errors or falls with injury they don't even come do inspections here. I fill Out a report afte...

8. DOH investigation

   toomany replied to toomany's topic in LTC Directors

   This week I got notice the doh was coming to investigate an incident. The only thing is there have been no recent incidents. No patient complaints, no major incident reports, nothing in 75 days. It was very chill summer so far. Is the doh followin...

   How long after a complaint is filed before the DOH starts an investigation of an ltc center? My company recently got told the DOH is doing an investigation of my facility due to a complaint, I have no idea with regards to what though. No recent com...

10. Spoliation, tampering implications

    toomany replied to toomany's topic in Legal

    Do nursing boards keep track of civil litigation outcomes? That would be a ton of follow up work. There's about 23000 civil litigations per year across the country. Perhaps it's an issue if there is a parallel doh investigation being conducted. I r...

    Sorry about the spelling errors, I'm typing these on my phone.

12. Spoliation, tampering implications

    toomany replied to toomany's topic in Legal

    Yeah, I understand that. I would prefer all electronic records because I have horrible writing and I like being able to edit my assessments in a legal and correct way. I just can't believe all the lnc websites I read that claim rn/mds are facing le...

13. Spoliation, tampering implications

    toomany posted a topic in Legal

    I'm currently in an lnc class and learning about record tampering. I'm not surprised to learn that different inks, changes in hand writing pressure, and overly detailed edits/addendums can all be suggestive of possible tampering with a record and ma...

14. Should I Carry Nursing Malpractice (Liability) Insurance?

    toomany replied to sirI's topic in Career Support

    I don't think that insurance is a total waste. In fact i have looked into it for myself many times. its dirt cheap and gives you peace of mind. Even if it does get you stuck in a suit longer its the insurance company footing the bill. I just don'...

15. Should I Carry Nursing Malpractice (Liability) Insurance?

    toomany replied to sirI's topic in Career Support

    addendum, To be fair. I think that the nso is great for license protection. I can totally see why you would want to have an attorney in front of the BON. Everyone i know says they are pure evil. But again, the only people i have known to go befo...
