  1. license was suspended - documentation errors

    katwoman7755 replied to lisa bear rn's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, live in louisiana. I just reread over the rules/regs of the BON...situations that would ultimately lead to a license susupension are pretty involved processes, with several steps prior to...

  2. Question for the midwives....

    katwoman7755 replied to katwoman7755's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Yes, I realize they don't "suddenly one day decide to deliver babies." They apprentice much the same way that the CNM's do....I looked up the info on the websites at the "top 10" schools that was...

  3. Question for the midwives....

    katwoman7755 replied to katwoman7755's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I guess my thought (for the sake of argument) is...what about the direct entry midwives? I mean, they aren't even nurses....and obviously they go to school and precept and learn what they need to...

  4. Question for the midwives....

    katwoman7755 replied to katwoman7755's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    LOLOL :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Wishing I didn't since I seem to have an easier time falling into jobs with old people or the dying...or just paper work jobs. I can definitely see where most people...

  6. RN who wouldn't be CNA

    katwoman7755 replied to cjog's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think I've ever seen any bored CNA's... Anyway, I was not a CNA before I was a nurse...I don't think that you necessarily need to pursue that route to find out if nursing is for you, but...

  7. Do you ever get called, 'Doctor'?

    katwoman7755 replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think the stereotypes happen for alot of reasons....it's getting a little better now that I'm a little older (28), but people have always assumed I was the CNA b/c I was younger. I when I was...

    katwoman7755 replied to marypo7's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  10. Nurse Anesthetists: We Have the Wrong Attitude!

    katwoman7755 replied to gassyjon's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Forgive my ignorance, but until this thread, I had no idea how little I knew re: CRNA scope of practice....just trying to understand....are you all saying that it is possible to work independently as...

  12. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    katwoman7755 replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    yes, anyone CAN report to the BON...but the issue is SHOULD you report to the BON? In this case I would say no....there was no mention of anyone suffering any adverse event from the alleged nurses's...

  13. SLU in Hammond

    katwoman7755 replied to Gottago's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Looks like I'm following you around :chuckle Anyway, I don't really know anything about the accelerated program...I've been looking at info on the master's program. I have a year to go until I get...

  14. hospice nurse testing

    katwoman7755 replied to marypo7's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm guessing you are talking about the CHLPN exam? I took the CHPN exam for RN's ....the LPN exam is comparable. I agree with katillac...it was a much more difficult exam than I thought it would be,...

  15. No More Demerol IV Push???

    katwoman7755 replied to VickyRN's topic in Emergency

    I read both of the links you provided....I know in hospice we absolutely never used demerol for the reasons that were listed in the article....I don't recall us ever denying payment for Tylenol#3 or...

  18. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    katwoman7755 replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm going to have to agree with Fab4Fan and Angie O'Plasty on this one.....I do think that we should all be aware of our surroundings and be patient advocates. I don't think I would have handled it...

    katwoman7755 replied to cynt77's topic in General Nursing

  20. HH teaching

    katwoman7755 replied to katwoman7755's topic in Home Health

    That's a very good point...one I'm sure I have been deliquent in many times. I think that is the reason that they are now wanting us to staple a teaching sheet to the original note and say we taught...

  21. HH teaching

    katwoman7755 posted a topic in Home Health

    Just wondering what the protocol was at your agency re: documentation of teaching? Do you all just write out narratively what the teaching was? Do you attach copies of teaching sheets that you have...
