  1. Is there a legal way to do this...

    Sam J. replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Exactly. And OP was told that the 'suspect' would have to be apprehended by someone other than by the employees of the hospital. That's their

  2. Like, wow- WHAT?

    Sam J. replied to Sam J.'s topic in Burn

    Why would it matter to me if they are gay, or aren't gay. Who could care less. I was telling the person that commented about The Sharks what happened on that show, since she/he said that show is a...

  3. The death of nursing

    Sam J. replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I never said anyone was 'stupid', whether a nurse or not. I made a general observation based on some of the misinformation I see in here, and hear about every day. Another poster, in here, just said...

  4. Discouraged

    Sam J. replied to LPN197538's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    "Losing track of narcotics = losing nursing license."

  5. Fired for refusing??

    Sam J. replied to Indyrn00's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Said e cigarettes are sexy? Yes, she sure did sed

  6. The death of nursing

    Sam J. replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Maybe not dying, per se, but declining...like the world around us? I've watched a lot of 'impossibly' wealthy people take their last breaths- I've yet to hear a single one of them utter a word of...

  7. New Grad in Endoscopy

    Sam J. replied to umslalum's topic in Gastroenterology

    There's just something 'wonderful' about that split second when you know you 'got in' that vein, more so when other people couldn't. Just...amazing. I never tired of

  8. We're not here for that

    Sam J. replied to happynurse49's topic in General Students

    This reminds me of a post somewhere in which a poster asked what type of nursing job is available that doesn't involve 'touching'

  9. I am sure it's been asked

    Sam J. replied to luvche's topic in Aesthetics

    Check cosmetic

  10. The death of nursing

    Sam J. replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's disconcerting, at the least, to see that so many nurses don't know the differences between Medicare, and Medicaid. Small wonder the average American is so ambivalent about universal health care,...

    Sam J. replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  12. Why is LTC Nursing have a bad reputation

    Sam J. replied to dulcet's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    And many (read:most) of them wouldn't be able to handle the workload,

  13. Should I tell my boss that I work weekends for another HH agency?

    Sam J. replied to jlmanzano13's topic in Home Health

    You say you get paid well. And of course your boss doesn't want to pay you overtime. You made the better call to get W/E nursing work elsewhere. But not a good idea to tell your boss about your new...

  14. Pain medicine and bone mets

    Sam J. replied to esrun00's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Because it appears a patient is still in pain. My post doesn't mention drugs, drug regimens, or doses, at all. It's a broad question about how nurses can prompt a physician to assess a patient that...

  15. Uncontrolled pain- how to approach the Doc?

    Sam J. replied to Sam J.'s topic in Pain Management

    I'll be glad to clarify: "Assuming the physician knows the patient personally, and is well aware that the patient is in pain, and has been notified repeatedly by nursing that the patient remains in...

  16. Like, wow- WHAT?

    Sam J. replied to Sam J.'s topic in Burn

    No, it wasn't like Silvadene, it was a bunch of home-made oils and creams for cosmetic purposes. If you missed the show it was last Tuesday- the group of 4 brothers that most of the panel derided as...

  17. Uncontrolled pain- how to approach the Doc?

    Sam J. replied to Sam J.'s topic in Pain Management

    Good idea, AND anonymous. As far as offending doctors, there will always be those that feel superior, and are difficult to work with. Some of the worst offenders, maybe the most arrogant, might be...

  18. Facing a layoff...advice please

    Sam J. replied to Loodlow's topic in Nurse Management

    A common number I see is that over 50% of HHAs lose money (or claim to lose money), and they open and close all the time. Here's a biggie: Gentiva Laying Off Hundreds, Closing 46 Home Health Branches...

  19. The death of nursing

    Sam J. replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not that, looking back on things, I would have done anything else- and thank 'god' for the permament vacation nursing has given me. -Got in While the Gitten' was

  20. The death of nursing

    Sam J. replied to massrn116's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To read such a sobering and poignant story, in the midst of so many nurses that cannot find work or pay their bills- even while others claim there is no nursing shortage (and that nurses make great...

  21. Fired for posting on face book

    Sam J. replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  22. Fired for posting on face book

    Sam J. replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's more common that anyone would care to

  23. Fired for posting on face book

    Sam J. replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This naivete fuels the Facebook

  24. Fired for posting on face book

    Sam J. replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    People should be a certain age before they post on Facebook. My guess is about 125, when they are long gone, and the unintended consequences won't

  25. Pain medicine and bone mets

    Sam J. replied to esrun00's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I asked the very same question. But even more than
