I would say 20% would be more like it so that would be equivalent to about $240k as 1099 employee

You answered your own question. Being a stay at home parent isn't for YOU. about

Lots of times nurses that are diverting will work lots of overtime and take patients that may require lots of narcotics If their drug of choice is at work. Alcoholics will tend not to show up for work because their drug of choice is at home.

In other words your facility is able to write off these things because you are subsidized by the tax payers. Your not writing off anything because you also received better reimbursement through medicare and medicaid.

Do you work in a hospital or health care facility? What about when your hospital gets a drug for $10 and bills the patient 20-50x that amount. Do you have a problem with that?

Do you really believe once you ask this question, the person is going to slap their forehead and say they never thought about securing the firearms until you just brought it up?

Arrested for making a clock that looked like a bomb? Here's your sign!

So if the patient said no homosexuals or minorities are allowed to care for me, you would honor that request?

Yet, let someone request an all white staff for their care or no homosexuals and see the amount of disgust aimed at the patient. When you come to the hospital you get what you get. You can try and accommodate to the best of your abilities but sometimes the demands can be unreasonable or unobtainable.

Once you are salary they can definitely take advantage of you on the hours worked,

No one said anything about cardioverting asystole (which is impossible) except yourself. You can't treat a patient properly without the proper tools and cardiac monitor is one of those tools. Please enlighten us on how you palpate your apical pulses?

The patient can have an issue without a palpable pulse due to decreased cardiac output from a decrease in stroke volume. Cardioversion would indicated not epinephrine.

not necessarily. They may not have a palpable pulse and depending on where you check for a pulse but could still be perfusing.

There is actually case law about a nurse who advised a patient about getting a different doctor and was fired from her position. However, the BON of her state required her to look after her patients best interest (kind of paraphrasing here) and was able to sue and win against her employer. I will try and find the case.

And if the patient is in rapid a-fib or SVT and you give epinephrine you have just killed the patient. The monitor is a tool to guide your assessment.

What rhythm was the patient in when you gave the epi? Most if not all AEDs do not have a display for rhythm verification. Sounds suspicious.

The only time the press would be upset, is when someone leaks their privileged information.

First off, you are not equals and you should not look at that way. you have more experience, education and training than the LVN. If she belittles you in front of a client again I would simply say "You are an LVN, you don't have the education and training to understand why I do .... this way. If you would like to learn I would be happy to teach you or perhaps you would like some information on becoming an RN so you can understand why I do things a certain way."

where are they being put in jail for years simply for smoking pot?

not what I asked.

When was the last time someone was drafted into the military?

Where is this happening that people are put in jail for years simply for smoking pot?

How is the board of nursing going to fine someone who is not a nurse? Send them a bill in the mail? they have no legal authority over someone who is not a nurse.

call the cops when someone calls a gay person an "it" and let me know what they say to you. I bet you go to jail for abusing the 911 system.

Too many people go around looking to be offended all the time. National Review
