Best advice, I think. Economics should be left out family relations being too often it ends up in drama. If you're willing to lend money there is always a chance of not being repaid. It's a lesson...
In California, a new grad can have interim permit, but, that shows up on the BRN, and from what I remember, is only good for 6 months while you're trying to get your license. You can be hired as an RN...
It's interesting how nursing makes you have thick skin, the whole environment, especially inpatient settings are so stressful. But, I think I draw the line on being called an idiot and being yelled...
I've been a critical care nurse for 6 years, I'm employed at a Southern California hospital that mandates all nurses taking care of poor prognosis patients to report them to one organ donation...
I didn't say you have to accept my opinion, you can't even debate about it because it upsets you so much. You resort to judging my character, instead. I wanted to discuss and have discussed, since the...
This is just my opinion, ethically, it would be wrong to not accept the family's initial decision and second. I really think during people's annual physical exams or even health insurance companies...
Answering someone's question is not attacking them. No where in your quote I was calling name and demeaning. You're impartial and don't agree with me that's why you're resorting to judging my...
Facts, would be including the original rude comments by posters directed at me. So, let's get our facts straight. I'm never outright rude, but, if you're going to be rude to me, I will be rude to you....
You also stated, facts are facts, I'm pointing out, your facts are not factual since they're impartial. Given no facts, no citation, nothing. Spidey has even give the articles from reputable sites...
You only posted my REPLIES to other's rude comments towards me. I don't know about you, but, I like answering people questions when they ask. Note, the CEO pay question. Interesting, no? Facts,...
CEO was mentioned once throughout my original post. I love ICU, that's why I've been in it. Again, you may not have seen it. Again, you may not have seen it. But, I have and other's too. You don't...
Did I say it shouldn't be done? no. I asked, is it ethical to persuade someone during they grieving state? those are 2 different questions. I wish these decision were made in medical offices...
I never debated organ procurement at work or discussed it with patients or their family members. I never once mentioned on this site I that I ever did. Why are you telling me something that I already...
When did I say I discussed organ donation with the family? You're arguing a point that wasn't made. Furthermore, no matter what, we are obligated to call organ procurement even if the family does say...
I'm married. But, my husband, is a nurse. I don't think of him less of a man because he works as a nurse. I think that stereotype is really dated. I haven't met any nurse who wouldn't date a male...
California is an odd state. LOL!! I think it's really nice to hear when congressmen actually send letters back to people who've sent them very thoughtful letters. Gives me hope. I'm sorry too. This...
My understanding is, if a family said no, no means no. I think autonomy is very important when caring for patient's and their family. But, again, in the end the greater good comes into play, like...
I was curious about this myself, so I read into policies of HIPAA and everything. Like ambulance companies and what have you, they are designated to be allowed to read these types of information by...
I never said you were an ICU nurse. I even stated, let me give you another example. The topic was, people questioning my knowledge. Another poster asked that question. I gave you examples of what...
I've read the policies and my state actually has more than one organ procurement organization. I've never contacted state representatives. Have you? Just curious if it's amounted to anything. Always...
QUOTE=Orphan RN;9155275]I feel ya on this one. It seems wrong on so many levels my skin crawls. This seems like a big job for one nurse - what are your coworkers thoughts? The patient becomes 1:1 and...
It's not misinformed if I'm the one that witnessed it. "surely you know that if you've been an ICU nurse" That's was another example. Again, this has nothing to do with with the main topic. But, we...
