  1. Have I displayed drug seeking behavior??

    nfahren05 replied to elthia's topic in General Nursing

    This does work with most insurance companies, if the reason is clinically sound. The OP needs to consider, however, the "rebound" effect that many triptans have when deciding to purchase additional...

  2. how to help pt's finance meds?

    nfahren05 replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    For nurses working in acute care and skilled nursing facilities, the social worker and case manager are your best resource(s). Especially for patients who "fall between the cracks" of the system (i.e....

  3. Press Gainey AARRGGHH

    nfahren05 replied to susi_q's topic in Emergency

    So true. As irritating as it is to "have the time" and "strive for 5," we've all been in hospital departments that do have problems worse than no cupholders in the bathrooms, and Press-Gainey is the...

  4. Press Gainey AARRGGHH

    nfahren05 replied to susi_q's topic in Emergency

    The scary part is that they probably already do. It's a trend that started in the boutique physician practices (e.g. dermatology, plastics, etc.) and is expanding into hospitals. There are obvious...

  5. RE; Hospital employment

    nfahren05 replied to Zar's topic in General Nursing

    Ours had drip rates, basic drugs, etc. Pretty straight-forward, nothing really designed to trip anyone, just to make sure that you had stayed awake in pharmacology class. It wasn't easy, but I had...

  6. How Did a BSN Help Your Career (Or Not)

    nfahren05 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Outside of staff nursing, an RN will do little for you today or tomorrow. A BSN today will open new doors everywhere, managment, consulting, education, insurance, research, pharma, public health,...

  7. Leaving written report at shift change?

    nfahren05 replied to uptoRNin04's topic in General Nursing

    We generally did this, too. Written reports are almost always better than verbal ones as the writer has had a number of hours to prepare (I generally started mine as early as possible, adding to it as...

  8. Ever Been Fired?

    nfahren05 replied to lpnurse2004's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would be really careful about this. Even in those states where corporate HR can't say that you have been fired, people still move from job to job, and people still talk. If the news of your...

  9. LPN feels like QUITTING school!

    nfahren05 replied to sourkuss's topic in General Nursing

    In the meantime, you still need to get through this A&P class. Have you spoken with your bio prof yet? It sounds like you both had bad days at the same time: he or she should not have embarrassed...

  10. Prior degree and career fair=$$?

    nfahren05 replied to dawn1971's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, it will do something, just not NOW. Having that degree and experience will help your career, once you have some real nursing experience to add to the mix. Social services and nursing is a very...

  11. RN job in jeopardy please help

    nfahren05 replied to fe3's topic in General Nursing

    Wha?????? Go back and read the original post. The facility was trying to intimidate the nurse by suggesting that fingerprints in and around the Pyxis had been checked, when in fact it is extremely...

  12. Andrea Yates R.N.

    nfahren05 replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the jury called this one correctly. While anyone can see that Ms. Yates had a history of serious mental illness, it's also clear that at the time of the killing of her children she...
