1. NP Practice EMR

   egg122 NP replied to tamale29's topic in Entrepreneurs

   Officeally is affordable. I use Practicefusion and while I like it, if I had to do it over again, I would use officeally due to costs and billing/administrative functionality.

2. Is this an Unsafe assignment legally?

   egg122 NP replied to c1henry2mr gmail's topic in General Nursing

   Your management sounds pretty ethically questionable given that they are accepting and keeping patients that do not meet the criteria for skilled nursing care indicated by writing, "Many are homeless people who would have been discharged home from ho...

3. PMHNP Scope of Practice

   egg122 NP replied to Psyched-85's topic in Advanced

   They may be getting at the idea that the person is in the 6 week residential program and focus should be on the residential treatment and not in issues that can wait until discharge- for example long standing acne, chronic back pain without signs of ...

4. Post Grad PMHNP Certificate program

   egg122 NP replied to Mednerd's topic in NP Students

   Please look for a program that provides quality over quick and cheap- preferably one that offers real training in some psychotherapy too. I know a lot of people claim the online programs are just as good but a program that offers you training in 10 m...

5. South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

   egg122 NP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   This is the kind of stuff that is going to drive nurses out of the profession. Why aren't administrators, managers and owners ever charged for intentional understaffing and poor conditions in their homes?

6. Sick of other NPs abusing patients - psych practice

   egg122 NP replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   For all of these patients on controlled substance, what's your plan when Ryan Haight comes back into play? You need to have a plan to either see them in person or get them off of the med.

7. Sick of other NPs abusing patients - psych practice

   egg122 NP replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   May I ask if you have had a conversation with them before deciding you want to report them to the board? Also, in psychiatry the customer is not always right - if that were true I'd be continuing a patient who recently came to me on Klono...

8. Working With Lazy Nurses

   egg122 NP replied to guest1206613's topic in General Nursing

   I would be cautious of accepting a DON position in a facility that has had 5 of them in 2 years- especially without prior DON experience. That is a facility that is setting them up to fail. Many times DONs don't have as much leeway with resources in ...

9. Scolded For Prioritizing Emergent Situations Over Routine Meetings

   egg122 NP replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

   OP- Just curious, are you the only RN on the unit and the other nurses are LPNs? Also, is there an RN supervisor on for the house during the day or just unit managers?

11. Nurses and other staff refusing to Treat COVID patients

    egg122 NP replied to Mena2015's topic in COVID

    I am finding everyone is calling out. It makes me crazy. I saw some of the same people putting the posts of facebook, "I'm a nurse" or "I can't stay home, I'm an essential worker" and I couldn't fathom the total lack of self awareness. I also n...

12. HIPAA violation, or just creepy?

    egg122 NP replied to TheAppalachianRN's topic in HIPAA

    Problem solved then I guess?

13. HIPAA violation, or just creepy?

    egg122 NP replied to TheAppalachianRN's topic in HIPAA

    Yikes. Not a HIPAA violation technically but super creepy. Has he spoken to you directly about his expectations of your work flow and why he is doing this? Does he do this to other employees?

14. New grad from online RN program with ZERO CLINICAL EXPERIENCE

    egg122 NP replied to angel1312's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I had to explain to a supervisor how to reconstitute an IM medication today. They had no idea that IM medications may need that and how the procedure might work. It was quite surprising for me.

15. Reading the note wrong and thought MD note was an order

    egg122 NP replied to xmsanta's topic in Medications

    We all make mistakes in healthcare. The important thing is to learn from them. This likely did not result in any harm. If it comes it, just acknowledge you made a mistake and how you will take a different course of action in the future if a similar s...
