Contact the State office, Medicare, Medicaid, news media, etc. ! "Make it happen". This facility needs to be immediately "surprise inspected", audited, and either corrected or shut down. This is not "care". This is criminal!

My first thought was the drug was being diverted possibly by an addicted colleague or worse. Report it and make sure the patient is not being left without pain coverage. No excuse to falsify MRI.

Started medical "career" as an ED volunteer not knowing anything over 25 years ago. Once they figured out I was willing to do "scut work" they let me do more & learn more about what they were doing. Got interested, got "First Responder" training and eventually "Emergency Medical Technician". Once I had that I added volunteering for the Jacksonville Emergency Medical Auxiliary which was attached to the Fire Department. By now had at least a reasonable chance of "doing no harm" but still wanted to know more. Applied & was accepted to RN program & doing night/weekend studies graduated in 2006. Since then I have been a weekend volunteer RN at the Volunteers In Medicine free clinic plus am still a volunteer in the ED where I first started. Bottom line - I have always been a "volunteer" since I have never been paid as an RN. I guess that doesn't really count but I really enjoy making a difference & still do "scut work"!

Resistant to treatment? Simple. He just found out what the ACA deductible was....

I remember when the first HIV patients starting showing up and some did not want to treat them or even get close to them. The ebola situation is different due to the mortality potential but I would accept the patient IF the proper isolation precautions could be enforced. Pray it doesn't come to that here!

I have both and my go to is the Cardiology III. Has all I need and is not as dependent on pressure for auscultatation since you have the bell & diaphragm option. Good job on getting in CVICU as a new grad!

Totally agree with what you did under the circumstances. Hope you documented the incident and the daughters conversation. Nurse on!

Only to the extent to stop the assault or give yourself room to escape until security got there.

For some reason they won't let us work together on the Psych floor....

The only other thing you can do is pray. Sounds like you're going to be all right! You're welcome.

Don't know if you did any clinicals in ED but usually you don't get much more than a few IV sticks, foleys, med preps, etc. I would try to find out as much as I could about that ED/hospital and be ready to tell them why you want to be there. ED can go from almost "office visit" scenario to "Help!" in an instance. Good ED's are staffed by people at all levels that help each other out when necessary. Tell them you want to be part of that team. If you don't know something don't try to bluff - admit you don't know but that you would be there to learn and you will always get the answers needed to do your job. Thank them for the opportunity to interview when you're through. GOOD LUCK!
