   Decapitated baby

   Lunah replied to SHH's topic in General Specialties

   Possibly. And if the in-utero death wasn't apparent until heading for an emergent c-section, those are often done under general anesthesia. This whole thing is just heartbreaking.

   Decapitated baby

   Lunah replied to SHH's topic in General Specialties

   The hospital claims that the baby died in utero before the decapitation. The whole thing is just so horrific. 😞 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/doctors-weigh-georgia-couples-baby-decapitation-rcna99869

   Small ER lab question

   Lunah replied to NurseL1998's topic in Emergency

   It's a military ED. Whole 'nother ball of wax. You don't even have to see people who aren't beneficiaries after those patients receive an MSE, you can just show them the door if they don't have TRICARE. A lot of bases are closed (after a fashion) and...

   Can hospitals require you to do "extra" on-call shifts?

   Lunah replied to Overtime Mom's topic in General Nursing

   I hated it when we sent people home due to low census. My philosophy was always to staff at a certain minimum and just accept it if things got "q word" for a bit. Because sending people home early always brings the pain.

   Have you ever been "ghosted" by an employer after accepting a job offer?

   Lunah replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

   I have seen this more commonly recently in the work-from-home/remote job realm. People get ghosted on interviews and jobs as well. Very unprofessional and weird.

   Where do I go from here?

   Lunah replied to PDRN's topic in Criminal

   What about a medspa-type setting? I am trying to think of places that don't accept insurance, period. Places that are out of pocket. Maybe those places that do B12 injections and vitamin infusions?

   Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Bill, I gotta disagree. Knowing you and your background, I highly doubt you would have made the series of catastrophic choices that she did.

   Transfers can only be made while on active duty or in certain types of reserve positions. If he's been out/separated for a while, he cannot transfer his GI Bill. https://www.VA.gov/education/transfer-post-9-11-gi-bill-benefits/

   Well as of now, it's still revoked. I haven't seen many updates in the news.

    Working From Home: What's it really like? A Day In The Life Of A Clinical Appeals Nurse

    Lunah replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Ashley! Congrats on the job. These roles are highly specific to the organization where you are performing the work, so I don't have any specific recommendations. However, I will say that using Microsoft OneNote has been a huge advantage in my year...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Insurance companies require an active license for RN positions. Any other job is just a job, not a nursing position. This is going to come up on a background check or Google search, so she will not likely work in the healthcare field again.

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Have you still not read the TBI or CMS reports? If you did, you would see the many steps she took to perpetuate/compound the error that started with her pulling a drug without reading a label.

    Potential New Job Option

    Lunah replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You are an experienced nurse. Do NOT just accept a pay cut without negotiating. The appropriate time to negotiate is after you have been offered the position. Google the term "gratitude sandwich" if you need pointers in negotiating. Believe in yourse...
