1. Malpractice Insurance

   Kris10lp replied to belin5's topic in General Nursing

   Our instructors advised us to get it and keep it to yourself. For the reason, the hospital will say they will defend you but who do you think will get thrown under the bus if somebody has to. That is exactly what happened to me. NSO paid the huge law...

   Kris10lp replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Emergency

   I know how you feel I also just started in ED. I had a floor send down the charge nurse to reprimand me the other day because I was "short" with them. I did not deny it and told her I was "Short" with them. Every time I have sent a patient to this fl...

   Kris10lp posted a topic in Student Assist

   I'm sure something like this has been asked before, I am having problems with care plans, and while I admit some responsibility for the problems myself I also feel my instructor has some issues. The main thing I wanted to ask is I used Risk for infec...

6. Nurses married to law enforment officers?

   Kris10lp replied to jeggstudent's topic in General Nursing

   Where we live the main places to work are one of the prisons (we have two) or one of the hospitals (three in the area). Plus I think it is the shift work thing. My fiance (a CO) jokes that every prison guard needs a nurse.

   I went throught the LPN program last year and we heard alot about the fact that we were on clinicals from 730 to 3 and then RN students from most of the schools were usually only there from 730 to 11. Most of the floors and departments felt there we...

11. Are you required to wear nursing cap for graduation??

    Kris10lp replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Students

    We are also supposed to wear caps and some of the younger "hipper" girls are complaining. We have to vote on it and I really hope the caps win. I wouldn't want to wear it to work everyday but I think it will make for a nice picture. We also wear w...
