  1. Mandatory Overtime???

    Brownms46 replied to nanablue2's topic in General Nursing

    And you stay there

  2. Mandatory Overtime???

    Brownms46 replied to nanablue2's topic in General Nursing

    First, let me say I'm sorry to hear, that this has happened to you. This is an awful thing to face after working your required 8hrs. Next, the above wording is not mine, but the BRN is different...

  3. 44 days and not one day off.....

    Brownms46 replied to J in MN's topic in General Nursing

    You lost me there. How can any hospital MANDATE, that you work a double? Did she take this position, and this was a condition of taking the position? I can understand how this person missed this...

    Brownms46 replied to nanablue2's topic in General Nursing

    I have taken the liberty of copying some Board of Nursing responses to questions about pt. abandonment. The first one is from Kansas, and reads as follows: A nurse must accept a specific patient...

  5. correspondance programs

    Brownms46 replied to SCRUB 4's topic in General Nursing

    I know what course of studying you're referring to. Are you talking about Regents? If so, I know many nurses, who have obtained their ADN, BSN this way.

  6. 44 days and not one day off.....

    Brownms46 replied to J in MN's topic in General Nursing

    Working 44 days, 12hr shifts with no days off, is not only a danger to ones health, but to the health of others. If that nurse feels she did anyone any good, she was mistaken! I have NO problem...

  7. CNA's Humiliation

    Brownms46 replied to hanginginthere's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have a similar story to tell. I knew a RN who was dateing a married doctor at the time and when he finally left her for another woman her reply was.....and to think he would leave me for a...

  8. Is fighting professional

    Brownms46 replied to kjmta57's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree! Sometimes it may not even be the post, that causes someone to reply in a seemingly mean, or rude way. But the shift they just finished, or the continuing cycle of abuse they...

  9. Mandatory Overtime???

    Brownms46 replied to nanablue2's topic in General Nursing

    Boards of nursing have responded to this very situation, and have declared that NOT staying beyond your shift is NOT pt abandonmet. This is a tactic some hospitals have used to scare staff into...

  13. How would you change patient care?

    Brownms46 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have grown weary of the posts about what is wrong with healthcare. Maybe there are those of you out there, who have great ideas about how to deal with high patient acurity, and patient/staff...

  14. Malpractice Insurance

    Brownms46 replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Any licensed professional should closely examine the ramifications of involvement in a lawsuit. All should carry some sort of coverage. Most policies cover your defense costs, so is a good...

    Hi Sammy, I understand what you're going through about your divorce. I was also in Texas, in fact right there in San Antonio! I thought I wouldn't be able to make it throught the next minute, let...

  16. Malpractice Insurance

    Brownms46 replied to Q.'s topic in General Nursing

    Heyyyy watch the name calling...I got scum-sucking lawyer friends! I have to put in my .25 cents worth. What about the nurse who works per diem? Do you think the hospital would cover you, or do you...

  17. Nursing in your State !!!!!!!

    Brownms46 replied to theboss's topic in General Nursing

    Jeeze, where do I start? First, I started out as an LVN in Texas, in an NICU, and cross trained in L&D. This was great experience. In the NICU, I did infant assessments, IV starts, gave meds...

  18. If you had to do it over again.....

    Brownms46 replied to RitaS's topic in General Nursing

    RitaS, There have been many times, I have regretted coming into nursing. Not because of negative posts, or staff attitudes, but because of poor staffing, and not being able to give patients the care...

  23. How would you change patient care?

    Brownms46 replied to Brownms46's topic in General Nursing

    I feel it is wrong for the charge nurse to take on all those extra responsibilites. I think this is sometimes why some nurses don't want to be in charge. It is a strain on them emotionally, as well...

  24. Dream Job

    Brownms46 replied to kjmta57's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds great! I think I would like to be a NP, in a small town. Definitely by water for sure. I don't want to be rich, just happy, content, and useful. Another dream of mine, would be to help...

  25. How would you change patient care?

    Brownms46 replied to Brownms46's topic in General Nursing

    I also agree, that team nursing was a better approach to care for patients than primary care is. In theory primary care would be the idea way to care for patients, but with the high acurity of...
