    Odd Situation/Travel Nursing...Input, Please

    Oh, and I inquired with MY state board of nursing, who governs ME. That woman must be

    Odd Situation/Travel Nursing...Input, Please

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I went to the PA BON website and nothing even remotely indicated that they would allow us to do anything more than 'basic nursing skills' to be supervised by LPNs and RNs (I am sure those that are...

    Are things picking up for agency nurses?

    pagandeva2000 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    :) The only people that can handle your fires are us...stay put! Seriously, though, it is an upsetting thing. Many of our agency nurses had to convert to the few that are left, but I hear that what...

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Update: Got a response from the State BON; she told me "You are a smart cookie...", because she said that most people would think that this was connected to a Federal assignment that this would be...

    Can't get hired in a clinic.. with experience???

    pagandeva2000 replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    That is the truth! I work in a hospital clinic as an LPN. Our pay is the same as those that work in our in-house because we are in the same facility and same unions. I was fortunate enough not to...

    :nono:Don't trust that guy and stay put until you find the ideal situation. We here in allnurses cannot have you wandering around starting fires all over the darned place if you don't have steady...

    Are things picking up for agency nurses?

    pagandeva2000 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am hearing that our hospital is limiting the number of agencies they are using-it used to be at least 4, now, it has narrowed down to two; and these are not the same two that have been used by our...

    Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Perfectly worded...when you think about who pays who, you will see where the interests will eventually shift

    Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen city, county and state hospitals sued...look at the Kings County Incident where the patient died on the floor, on camera. They just settled for 2 million. Meanwhile, the nurses were...

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Judging by what you are saying, this seems to be a slightly different situation...I am not employed by the Veteran's Hospital, but a private agency who receives assignments from the Federal Government...

    Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    :yeah: that was a good one, and most certainly, when they want to pin the blame, they will find policies from their graves to screw someone. and most of the time, they don't know their own policies...

    Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    But doesn't every hospital have coverage? Any facility can and will face a law suit, and to me, risk management has the best interests of the facility, but not necessarily the employee. The day I...

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    What would make you keep it to yourself? I mean, this is not a conversational piece where I would have a reason to announce that I have malpractice insurance, but, is there a specific reason why you...

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    They'll ALL tell you that. Get your own. As the other person mentioned, the hospital does not have YOUR best interest at heart, they have THEIRS. And, they have no problem bringing you the cross to...

    really disappointed after my trip to the BON

    pagandeva2000 replied to picurn10's topic in General Nursing

    NY BON is supposed to be for the same purpose, but to tell you the truth, these are ALL people who have not been working the bedside for many years, therefore have no real idea about what we trench...

    Has Anyone Ever USED Their Malpractice Insurance?

    pagandeva2000 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Just for clarity, why would you not tell people you have malpractice insurance? I probably would not want to mention it if I worked a private case, but, from what I understand, most agencies require...

    really disappointed after my trip to the BON

    pagandeva2000 replied to picurn10's topic in General Nursing

    How was this event arranged? I would like to sit for this myself because it would give me a perspective and probably keep me on my toes. Did the professor arrange this? What state is this (if you...

    What I find interesting is that persons can actually sit for these proceedings going by the initial thread. I'd be interested in attending myself, as long as I am not on the receiving end...but,...

    pagandeva2000 replied to sasha2lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not sure about this one, but I think I would write notes to describe their current behaviors. I am sure that a psych nurse can answer this better than I, since they have the experience. What worries...
