    Question for Case Managers who travel to client/patients homes

    beachynurse replied to Peachpit's topic in Case Management

    I'm surprised that they are paying from your home and back. When I was doing Home Care, we could not be paid from home to our first visit or to the office, whichever we did first and then from patient...

    Swimming while menstruating

    beachynurse replied to arlingtonnurse's topic in School

    Pads? And then have her go in the pool? I just wouldn't have the heart to risk the poor thing leaking from the pad into the pool. I apologize if I'm coming across snarky, that honestly is not my...

    Harassment in nursing school

    beachynurse replied to Tiara Walker's topic in General Students

    How did she try and block you from clinical? Why did she remove you from simulation lab? Had you done something that made her contact your clinical instructors? I don't see you taking any...

    Wants to switch career from childcare to nursing

    beachynurse replied to Eshaal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree with you. Nursing can be quite hard on ones back, and if you already have problems they will most likely worsen. Speaking from experience. I've been a nurse for 39 years, and my back...

    Degree as related to salary

    beachynurse replied to nursewhatshername's topic in School

    In our school division, our starting salary depends on how much full time experience you have as a nurse. Part time and per-diem does not count. As far as level of education, there is only a nominal...

    New school nurse

    beachynurse replied to sistasoul's topic in School

    We can have it all as well, however, if they are more profoundly disabled, we have special programs for them, and they will have their own Nurse and clinic assistant. Some students will have their own...

    Should I retake Microbiology?

    beachynurse replied to Jayla11's topic in General Students

    The date of withdrawal may make a difference. When I taught at the local community college, you had so much time in the class to withdraw "W" without penalty. After that date, you will get a "WF",...

    Should I retake Microbiology?

    beachynurse replied to Jayla11's topic in General Students

    My nursing program required Micro, so my advice to you would be continue the class and do the best you can. If your school has grade forgiveness, retake the class and work for a higher grade. That...

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    beachynurse replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm sorry, but I disagree with you. These people worked very hard for their Doctorate. If that is what they earned, then they are Dr's. I agree that the lines shouldn't be blurred and the role should...

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    beachynurse replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It looks that way... Only MD's can call themselves Dr. I think that is ridiculous, if you did the work and earned the degree you should be able to use it. You know, some of the MD's are so arrogant....

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    beachynurse replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I completely disagree with this legislation. If you earn the degree, you earn the title. You did the work that was expected of you in order for you to obtain that Doctoral Degree, you should be able...

    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    beachynurse replied to klone's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I personally find your comments to be insulting. NP's start medical education in Nursing 101, and it goes all the way through all of our degrees. You won't see an NP with extensive medical knowledge...

    Prescription Verification - Let's place everything on the doctor.

    beachynurse replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Personally I don't think an MA, or secretary should be responsible for anything to do with medications. It should either be the MD or a licensed

    beachynurse replied to JaneDoeDoe's topic in Private Duty

    I used to manage a Home Care department in a Home Health agency. I don't know how long you are there, but we always prepared a care plan for our home care patients which did include any household...

    Advice needed regarding diabetic student

    beachynurse replied to Tali56's topic in School

    I'm confused. Why is it that the teachers being aware of a medical concern considered body shaming? This is need to know information that can potentially save a student's life if an emergency happens...

    Advice needed regarding diabetic student

    beachynurse replied to Tali56's topic in School

    The teachers should know if they have a diabetic in their class! We make sure that our teachers know about Diabetics, kids with epi-pens, seizures, and any other medical diagnosis that can be...

    504 Question

    beachynurse posted a topic in School

    Do your school divisions require there to be medical documentation for a 504 to be written? My school division doesn't. All the parent has to say is that the child has symptoms of whatever they want...

    Failed Orientation

    beachynurse replied to Sapa22's topic in General Nursing

    I think that is awful. People make mistakes... And when you are doing your resume, all experts that I have read about, and those that revamped my resume, tell you to leave off your resume...

    Controlled meds on field trips

    beachynurse replied to Achevy's topic in School

    If the field trip is during school hours, we have small medication envelopes that we label and put the medication in to give to the teacher. If it is outside of school hours it is the parents...

    504 Question

    beachynurse replied to beachynurse's topic in School

    The accommodations vary based on parental requests. Our parents can be very demanding, and want what they want. We have a lot of students that have a 504 with no accommodations. The document will...

    NJ license status: active - non renewable

    beachynurse replied to Long standing nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago, I was told not to let my license expire in the state I took the NCLEX in no matter what state I move too. I was told that it was easier to keep it active, than to have to jump through hoops...

    Going to work when you should of called out. What's your thoughts on this?

    beachynurse replied to RUNNER87RCC's topic in General Nursing

    I think that she needs to check on the attendance policy. As long as an MD note was produced, the absence would be excused and not count. The hospital I had worked at kind of expected new grad nurses...

    Going to work when you should of called out. What's your thoughts on this?

    beachynurse replied to RUNNER87RCC's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with this thought. When I was a new nurse many years ago, I tended to get almost every illness that walks through the hospitals door. I was very frustrated, as I had always been very...

    Entitled Staff

    beachynurse replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    Aren't your standing orders for the student's only? For basic OTC meds I would think so, especially if your medical director is a Pediatrician. I no longer have a staff stock, I refuse to since those...
