  2. Would appreciate some opinions on pain management

    grannynurse FNP student replied to kk2000's topic in Pain Management

  3. Medicare Prescription Drug Plan

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Jolie's topic in General Nursing

    You don't really want to know my true thoughts. For a mere $682 per year, I can receive my medications, until I reach the $2500 cut-off. Given that my medications cost me an average of $350 per...

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    No, I was just offering an observation. I was in my 20s when I got stuck, for more then ten days, at AMC, following a blizzard. I was in my late teens when the first blackout hit NYC. And in my...

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    Good questions. Now do you want the stock answers? I can respond in relation to what happen after Charlie or what I viewed, happening in New Orleans or what happen following Rita. Facilities...

  6. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if I offended you but I never stated that duty and commitment belongs to one age group. Mandatory evacuation does not mean that anyone who does not not want to leave can be forced out. I am...

  7. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    To be perfectly honest with you, I have never been mandated to remain in any dangerous situation. During emergencies, I have been asked to come into work early or on my day off. None of my employers...

  8. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    Well, following the snow storm, no one was moving around the city except those on snowmobiles. And any patients were transported to our facility by those with them. And we did have patients bought...

    Must be the six years I put into the Air National Guard. Grannynurse

  10. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    To answer your question, no my daughter is not a nurse. She is considered in the public safety portion of her county. And none were mandated to remain, by the county. Hospital staff was asked to...

  11. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    And I am 60, just outside the cuspid of being a baby boomer. Perhaps my sense of commitment is built on my own life's experiences. And perhaps it is due to working primarily with those less forunate...

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to run the DVD concerning the small amount of damage, that seems to be implied. And I am sure that those who lost their homes or suffered such damage they were or are still living in...

  13. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    My conclusion was based on several bits of information. One, Galvestan was where Rita was projected to hit. Two, no other city or town, which did not evacuate, was located that close to the Gulf of...

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    Then, I do not blame you for your lack of committment to your facility. I suffered thru a lack of support from my facility and it took six months for me to wise up, hand in my resignation and leave...

  15. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    Why is everyone believing that a hospital would leave it's property and staff unsecured? There are several patients, still at the facility, despite what the nurse who orginally posted otherwise. And...

  16. Teacher Going Into Nursing- Need Advice!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to allymiami's topic in General Nursing

    It is difficult to say without knowing which state you live in and which part of that state. New RNs, in NYC start at $55,000. In Florida $25,000. See what I mean. Grannynurse

  17. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    It is my understanding, according to the physician in charge (and who remained) that the facility had three patients who could not be moved. Second, yes staff has a responsibility to secure one's...

  18. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    Feel free to privately e-mail me. I find it interesting that the facility, In Galvestan, did not make anyone stay against their will. According to the physician, in charge, all 50 staff members and...

  20. Should nurse practioners be allowed to write prescriptions?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to stephcollier's topic in General Nursing

    Georgia sounds like Florida in the 80s and early 90s. Keep the pressure on and the situation will change, believe me. Grannynurse

  21. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    I finally realize what is upsetting me most, everyone's attitude. You have hit the nail squarely on the head, it is everyone for themselves. And by the way, the Fire Department has not left...

  22. Rita's coming-my hospital won't close!!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct, you do not get it and I do not mean this in an insulting manner. Mandatory evacuation, is mandatory only in respect that people should evacuate. However, the police do not have the...

    grannynurse FNP student replied to cumberland40's topic in Oncology

    Went to the CDC website. Keyed in cancer and smoking. Up poped more then 450 articles. I know smoking causes cancer. My uncle, who smoked 2 1/2 packs a day, die from in, in his late 40s....

  24. RITA CRISIS- Houston traffic!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Why is everyone trying to leave on the interstate? We evacuated on state roads. There was traffic but not like the interstate, Grannynurse

    grannynurse FNP student replied to RN34TX's topic in General Nursing

    First, while Rita is a Cat 5, right now, she will weaken before making landfall, just like Charlie did. Two of our hospitals, located in Charlotte County, took direct hits from him and lost their...
