    How easy is it to get TB?? Help!

    gr8rnpjt replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Exposure to TB and taking care of a TB patient are 2 different things, IMO. Exposure would be evident with a positive TB test. Not everyone who cares for the patient will go on to have a positive TB...

    Pediatric examination standards I don't understand

    I think it is an important question. You didn't need to go there. It is a standard of care issue and needs to be

    Just Curious ?

    gr8rnpjt replied to xGuYx's topic in Emergency

    :nurse:Lots of questions from you, xGuYx. You could have put them all on one thread. If you want to be a nurse, go to the library and read up on nursing and what it is all about. You can talk to a...

    What is it Like for an LPN working for an Insurance Co?

    gr8rnpjt replied to skittlebear's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    OK here is what I know. You didn't specify what your current job entails, so with that being said, your "limited medical experience" could hurt your chances. They (mostly the blues) like general...

    Can i say yes to a job, then say no the next day?

    gr8rnpjt replied to Hartley's topic in General Nursing

    10 or 15 years ago, you would have gotten different answers. The climate has changed, and you can't go burning bridges anymore. Just be careful when this comes up in the future. Facilities that make...

    Dorms at Holy Name Hospital School of Nursing, NJ

    gr8rnpjt replied to CaitlinLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I was not aware there were any nursing schools left that still had dorms!! I don't know about this particular program. I went to a diploma school with private dorms (1 student per room) and I really...

    For all of those on Medicaid

    gr8rnpjt replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work for a Managed medicaid insurance company. I know what ShayRN is saying, I think. There seems to be a stigma for these members. They probably think nurses in the hospital know they are Medicaid....

    gr8rnpjt replied to Tina, RN's topic in General Nursing

    My experience with the clinical setting was way long ago..I took a refresher in the 80's after being a stay at home Mom for 7 years. Getting the refresher course was required, even back then. I worked...

    Can a hospital discharge planner get certified in case management?

    gr8rnpjt replied to trvldrmr's topic in General Nursing

    I believe discharge planning would qualify as an acceptable position to sit for the exam. Go on the CCM site and review the qualifications. It's pretty self explanatory and will answer all your...

    Coworker reported me for something I hadn't done = Final warning

    gr8rnpjt replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with other posters, confronting the offending coworker by yourself will only make you fly out the door faster. If you want to confront her, you have to have all your ducks in a row and request...

    FMLA

    Equivalent position means same pay scale, same number of hours. It is not shift specific or floor specific. You can check with human resources, but I believe they will tell you the

    Have you ever had a co-worker announce your private case information at work?

    gr8rnpjt replied to Elsarap's topic in General Nursing

    Please elaborate. OK I read the link. If I am understanding correctly, the person being talked about had a history of schizophrenia and while she was still ill, had said someone was reading her mind...

    Minor's right to refuse

    gr8rnpjt replied to Mary C's topic in General Nursing

    Unless medically necessary (as in, low H&H related to abnormal uterine bleeding) I don't think there is any way the Mom can force the daughter to take the pill. That being said, the doctor and...

    should I have a referral just prior to insurance change?? doesnt seem right

    gr8rnpjt replied to sunidol's topic in General Nursing

    Part of HIPAA includes regulations for Health insurance portability. It pretty much removes the ability for a new insurance company to include pre existing condition penalties. You can no longer be...

    Very Concerned (please read)

    gr8rnpjt replied to CuriousGreorge7's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say for sure (no one can) as we don't have a crystal ball, however, the reason why this might be a big deal has more to do with State medicare and medicaid laws. Facilities can lose their...

    Report or not?

    gr8rnpjt replied to dscott76's topic in General Nursing

    The other issue would be bringing your illness with you to your place of work and possibly spreading it to others. As far as reporting her, I don't think I would go that route. You are going to meet...

    gr8rnpjt replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Maybe some of you can take up a collection and buy him a pen and a journal. That way when he starts to tell a story, tell him to put it in the journal and you will read it when things slow down (I...

    disorderly person charge and continuing in clinical rotations and nursing school

    gr8rnpjt replied to jrsygirl's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Make an appointment to speak with the dean or administrator at your school. Be honest, and if you have the paperwork proving the charges were reduced, bring them with you. It's better to take the bull...

    a PT/OT eval would be in order after all injuries assessed and xrayed. You would not ask for an order for a walker, you would wait for the evals and PT/OT would recommend, then it would be
