  1. How old is too old to safely practice?

    guestng82 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There may be a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on age by an employer, but it would not be discrimination for the BON and board of medical examiners to require the tests as healthcare...

  2. How old is too old to safely practice?

    guestng82 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    While you may feel that higher insurance rates for older people and having to take exams and renew their licenses frequently is wrong, just consider that while your parents may have had clean driving...

  3. Dog had emergency surgery last night.

    guestng82 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    So glad this had a happy ending for you and that you could afford to have the surgery! I spent over $1,000.00 on my cat last year when she was very close to death, and she's fully recovered now....

  4. Stanford Rape

    guestng82 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I realized that after I went back and read your comment again, but by that time, it was too late for me to edit my post. My apologies for the

  5. Stanford Rape

    guestng82 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, okay, I spent six years of my life being molested by two men, so definitely not trying to shut women up about what they've suffered when I've experienced it as well. A comment was made that men...

  6. Stanford Rape

    guestng82 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    My point being that women can rape too. Exactly what I said in the post actually... I guess I can expand on that and say that I was disagreeing with Ruby Vee's comment that men are causing all the...

    guestng82 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Women can be rapists

  8. A Headache is not an emergency

    guestng82 replied to Patient4life's topic in Emergency

    We have a nice little ER where I live, that the charge is based on your income, and you just pay a small deposit before you leave. Back when I did not have insurance and was only making ~29k a year,...

  9. Stanford Rape

    guestng82 replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that they appeal the verdict and the sentencing. If they do, the appellate judges can give him a longer sentence if they feel the one already given is not

  10. Shift work and dating

    guestng82 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    You should come back to play. I need more people in my

  11. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    guestng82 replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    ...where did you even get that photo from? I mean, was there a post or anything attached to it saying that he self-identifies as female or are you just posting random pics trying to prove a point? On...

  12. Pre-health needed if taking a year off?

    guestng82 replied to MarieTee's topic in General Nursing

    If you are within driving distance, your best bet may be to go directly to the school and try to talk to someone. Colleges aren't the best at returning phone

  13. CNA lost a close resident

    guestng82 replied to guest05/03/16's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Whoops, Elladora basically said the same thing I did in her post so I'll just wait for OP's response to that

  14. Where do I begin? have never dealt with anything like this before

    guestng82 replied to C23gregory's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Lawyer fees generally average depending on your location, but a lot of criminal attorneys will charge a flat fee for the beginning of the case. If it ends before trial (plea bargain, dismissed,...

  15. Bulleted statements are the devil

    guestng82 replied to momohime's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The way I learned to do resumes is to use the general statements that can cover most of what you do, but keep it as concise as possible. You would use the job interview to elaborate more on your...

  16. What would a single payer system look like?

    guestng82 replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sometimes I wish we could go to something like this. I would gladly pay the tax it would bring than the $400 a month insurance that I can't even afford to use because the deductible is $3,300 and the...

  17. Welcome To The Hospital - From Your Nurse

    guestng82 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    If you're a new member, you should really take time to learn about the website before you post to it, especially when it's a self-righteous post about a profession that you have no clue about. There...

  18. Court Appearance and Importance of Documentation

    guestng82 replied to Quantum Doctor's topic in General Nursing

    In my earlier comment, I meant to add that it's funny how in med mal cases, there's so much of the "if it wasn't charted, it wasn't done", but on the flip side, in our worker's compensation cases...

    guestng82 replied to Quantum Doctor's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry about

  20. Court Appearance and Importance of Documentation

    guestng82 replied to Quantum Doctor's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, thank you. You are way better at writing that than I am. All of our clients are coached to never say they don't remember something or didn't do something. They're told to always say what they...

  21. Court Appearance and Importance of Documentation

    guestng82 replied to Quantum Doctor's topic in General Nursing

    Please see RiskManager's response to my comment right below yours. She explained it a LOT better than I can. I'm not that great with words. Basically, we do not use this defense often because our...

  22. Court Appearance and Importance of Documentation

    guestng82 replied to Quantum Doctor's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a med mal defense firm, and my boss pushes the exact opposite: just because it wasn't documented, doesn't mean it wasn't done. It comes up in depositions a lot, especially where we have...

  23. Nurse considering law school

    guestng82 replied to kristie778's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered becoming a nurse paralegal instead? I work at a medical malpractice defense firm, and we are required by our clients (the physician's insurer) to have a nurse paralegal on staff....

  24. Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    guestng82 replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    This could have been a blanket advertisement posted in many different ad sections where they just easily substitute nursing for any other

  25. How often did YOU see the school nurse?

    guestng82 replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    Out of all the schools I went to (three total), we never had a school nurse. If you were feeling sick, they sent you to the office to call your parents. My brother has Von Willebrand disease, and I...
