  1. Would this be considered abandonment?

    egg122 NP replied to Twinkle007's topic in General Nursing

    This is actually state dependent. CT Board of Nursing has declared that if your shift is over and you have made it clear that you are not accepting the next shift, then the employer cannot charge you...

  2. Let’s talk numbers and visit frequency

    egg122 NP replied to djmatte's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This sounds like a FQHC in CT that I know of... They need to be scheduling you with more patients than 18-22 to make up for the known no show rate. Agree to take any walk ins, even if they have an...

  3. Are boundaries ok?

    egg122 NP replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, absolutely set boundaries. It makes me sad that we as a profession have to ask this

  4. Change from software to NP

    egg122 NP replied to MayaSwiss's topic in General Students

    I agree with taking a CNA class and picking up a per diem job to see if it is what you want and this also can give you exposure to NPs, who may let you shadow when you are not on

  5. NP in Nursing Home/SNF

    egg122 NP replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    yes, as long as you see the patient

  6. NP in Nursing Home/SNF

    egg122 NP replied to anh06005's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Technically any time you review labs, if you see the patient, you can bill. If you review a BMP, write a note. Any INRs, see the patient an write a note. Skin tears, note. Any adjustments to insulin,...

  7. Lost New NP

    egg122 NP replied to SpankedInPittsburgh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with above. Does the hospital have an outpatient primary care clinic, pre-op testing department, or urgent care section of the ER? That may be more suited for the FNP

  8. To kill or not to kill... another person dream?

    egg122 NP replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    ...Wow... Have you considered pressing

  9. Return to NP Practice

    egg122 NP replied to Godsgirl73's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with KatieMI. North Carolina's board of nursing has a NP refresh course packet that you might be able to model your proposal after:...

  10. Leaving before 1 year? Don't know what to do..

    egg122 NP replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    10 to 12 is too many but the sad reality in many NYC hospitals, public or private (particularly in Brooklyn for some reason). Stick out the year if you can then look for hospitals in Westchester or...

  11. Potentially Hypochondriac Sister

    egg122 NP replied to keepitsimplesilly's topic in General Nursing

    This X 1000. Set boundaries. You will likely get push back in the beginning since people generally do not like it when people do set them, but in the end the extra attention may be escalating the...

  12. Would you stay?

    egg122 NP replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree. I am also surprised that the urgent care tolerates this since sending patients away is lost

  13. Who Can Supervise Nurses?

    egg122 NP replied to cvh1576's topic in General Nursing

    So, she could be a supervisor in the sense of scheduling, hiring and firing capability, non-clinical disciplinary issues (like lateness), managing workflow, give feedback on customer service type...

  14. Abandonment?

    egg122 NP replied to Gabriela's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, you did not abandon the residents. You were clear that you were not accepting the second shift, signed out and when you left there were 3 staff members in the building. If management suggests that...

  15. RN's skipping vital signs

    egg122 NP replied to rn_patrick's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You've done what you can. Just keep following up on the high risk patients like you have been and focus on obtaining the vitals/info needed for safe psych practice (whether that is orthostatics, etc)....

  16. Legalized Recreational Marijuana - What Will You See in the ED?

    egg122 NP replied to traumaRUs's topic in Emergency

    I don't think it was meant as literally killing the gut via any

  17. Legalized Recreational Marijuana - What Will You See in the ED?

    egg122 NP replied to traumaRUs's topic in Emergency

    I don't think she meant it was literally killing their gut via an ischemic

  18. Would you stay?

    egg122 NP replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    People (of both genders) question the female provider's competence, do not follow orders, offer less support than to the male providers. General passive aggression and bizarre expectations that you...

  19. Would you stay?

    egg122 NP replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    Also, I forgot to add- many times co-workers treat male and female providers of every type very differently in terms of support, communication, and respecting their medical decisions consciously or...

  20. Would you stay?

    egg122 NP replied to Power2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    Hi, To clarify, it was the issue of treating the patient (giving the shot) without a note or officially establishing a patient- provider relationship on company grounds with company property. Was she...

  21. RN's skipping vital signs

    egg122 NP replied to rn_patrick's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would take it further and outline the support you need from him if he directs you to pursue it

  22. RN's skipping vital signs

    egg122 NP replied to rn_patrick's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Do you have a chief medical officer? What do they

  23. RN's skipping vital signs

    egg122 NP replied to rn_patrick's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    A provider's order is not a suggestion. Facilities frequently get cited by the department of health for not following orders. Refusals by patients or inability to obtain vitals can be simply...

  24. I made a mistake and I am terrified to go back to work

    egg122 NP replied to DH1234's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly - the fact you rechecked the BP showed diligence and the use of critical thinking. I don't really see the error, the BP was below the give parameter by end of shift and you used your...

  25. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    egg122 NP replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Agreed- my experience with 1199 was negative as
