  1. NP Practice EMR

    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
  2. Is this an Unsafe assignment legally?

    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...
  3. PMHNP Scope of Practice

    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...
  4. Post Grad PMHNP Certificate program

    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...
  5. 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...
  6. 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
  7. 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...
  8. Working With Lazy Nurses

    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...
  9. 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
  10. Try the leaf device by smith and
  11. 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...
  12. HIPAA violation, or just creepy?

    Problem solved then I
  13. HIPAA violation, or just creepy?

    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
  14. 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...
  15. 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...
  16. I find it somewhat ironic that the OP is calling female posters on this forum, "hun", which is inherently sexist. OP, since you are reporting employment discrimination and harrassment and you...
  17. Long term care medical director is a jerk!

    Can you find a new medical
  18. How to deal with mean staff

    I second the other posts about documentation, making sure to clarify everything, and think that what you are doing is great. Also, continue to communicate by email (if possible within the EMR) and...
  19. I think the schools being referred to are the ones that heavily advertise to Americans but cost as much as an American private medical school, like Ross or American University of the
  20. Is there a Stigma with a Male working in Nursing?

    I find that men in nursing tend to be promoted into management positions more quickly but that is only my personal
  21. LTC Covid Care, or I am Legend by default

    I agree with the sentiments above. In my own experience in the NYC area we were consistently left without supplies, had no ability to test until mid-April, we were unable to get CXRs for over a week...
  22. New Grads and Acute Care Hiring

    Most ASN grads also need extensive orientation and are not hitting the ground
  23. Can you transfer to a sister nursing home within the company? Are you in the NY metro area? Most homes are hurting for staff so the likelihood of being able to transfer is probably pretty good right...
  24. Is it wrong to interview for multiple positions?

    Just be careful about recruiters pushing you to take jobs- they get paid (or their performance for the year is judged) when they fill the position so they are looking at it from that perspective....
  25. Nurse to patient Ratio

    I think this would depend on the general work culture of KSA- would having them be a part of the Lean decision making and implementation be something that would be considered motivating there or are...
