  1. Primum non nocere

    guest974915 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been thinking lately about Medicine and Nursing's role in the current opioid crisis. Our new thinking regarding pain-i.e 'pain is the 5th vital sign', "pain is whatever the patient says it...

  2. Is it like this everywhere now?

    guest974915 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be fooled, administrators are most certainly capable of higher level cognitive processes. Examples of such are; being a 'yes man/woman' to management to secure their Mon-Fri, 8-5, no...

  3. Joint Commission and Ligature Points

    guest974915 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Joint Commission-a complete failure of an organization that is charged with safeguarding patient safety. Of all the pressing problems in healthcare today-i.e. dangerous N/P ratios, nursing units...

  4. Poll: do you have professional liability insurance?

    guest974915 replied to SDANG's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely true^^^. Also, if the hospital can find some technicality so that they can somehow pin the blame on an unsuspecting nurse, they will quickly do so. Administrators' and corporate...

  5. What are the top 10 debatable nursing issues? And GO!

    guest974915 replied to RN Instructor1397's topic in General Nursing

    As a former travel nurse, I think the idea of individual state licensure (with differing licensing requirements) is just crazy! As a unified country, can't we agree to have a national Registered...

  6. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to disengage from this debate now as your comments are becoming more incoherent, rambling, and misinformed screeds that have effectively hijacked the thread. Before, Grumpy asked if you were...

  7. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    As I've said before, I think the propaganda and skewed media campaigns (funded by the health insurance industry/AMA) have veiled the reality for many-that the wealthiest and most powerful country in...

  8. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You go Grumpy:) It's just a bitter pill that so many Americans can't swallow due to arrogance, pomposity, national pride...whatever!-that our health care system is at best, second rate and really...

  10. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that your posts are beginning to make less and less sense and you're coming across as extremely uninformed. You may not be aware but the number of American expatriates is on the rise...

  11. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Bravo^^^ Let's not delude ourselves by not identifying the real 'elephants' in the room. The health insurance industry and the AMA (two of the most powerful lobbyist groups in the US) stand to lose...

  12. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Sounded to me a lot like, "I got mine, sucks to be you, but please don't raise my

  13. Managing a Department/No Experience in Area

    guest974915 replied to Jory's topic in General Nursing

    My take on this is that is extremely presumptuous and an insult to the staff that he/she is in oversees! How can a nurse manager who really doesn't have an intimate knowledge of the particulars of...

  14. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    What about adults without children or those who don't drive-can they 'opt out' and say no to their tax dollars be used for education or public roads? This is one on the fundamental tenets of...

  15. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you're saying at and like you, I count myself among the ranks of the struggling middle class. However, with the current healthcare scheme, it's largely the middle class that are...

  16. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Disagree strongly that it can't be done! Again, there's the U.S.'s highly bloated defense spending-nearly 3 times that of all other NATO countries combined and accounting for 1/3rd of all federal...

  17. I hate fake call outs.

    guest974915 replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I'm not so worried about the occasional weekend call off-I'm talking about long-term patterns-i.e. consistently calling off at least one time (often more), week after week, month after...

  18. I hate fake call outs.

    guest974915 replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    In your post you quoted the OP's very words that she did not sign up for the call shifts but was instead mandated-I thought she made that fact very

  19. I hate fake call outs.

    guest974915 replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    uh

  20. I hate fake call outs.

    guest974915 replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do say 'no'-trust me that's not a skill that I need to work on. I'm just really resenting the fact that nurses who chose not to work over are impugned and somehow made to feel that they're crappy...

  21. I hate fake call outs.

    guest974915 replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this^^^This would serve as a deterrent for those who habitually call off and would extend the vacation time for those who didn't. I also like the idea of merit raises being influenced by...

  22. I hate fake call outs.

    guest974915 replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my particular situation, management is constantly hounding and guilting us (those who don't habitually call off that is) to stay over, work extra....to cover these shifts. It's subtly, but...

  23. I hate fake call outs.

    guest974915 replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just can't get my head around how people who habitually call off (without an ongoing, legitimate medical reason or sick family member) could have such absolute disregard for their coworkers. They...

  24. I hate fake call outs.

    guest974915 replied to KonichiwaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so glad you brought this up because it is an especially irksome pet peeve of mine. I work at union represented facility and call offs are way, wayyyyy off the charts. I'm just going to go ahead...

  25. How would Medicare for all affect nursing?

    guest974915 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This trend towards deinstitutionalization-'community centered care' was an inherently bad idea from the very beginning. As a result of this paradigm, many of these facilities were closed and their...
