    Patient's "right" to abuse nurses...I need your opinion

    K9lover replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

    Yes but this has become the reality of acute care. They day they tied patient satisfaction in with reimbursement I knew it would come to point where management absolutely green-lights patients into...

    will i lose my licenses in corrections, jail, prison nursing?

    K9lover replied to wtpsych's topic in Correctional

    I worked for a year as temp until I hired on as permanent and this does not reflect my experience but it is county, not state. I've heard nothing good about working registry for the state

    Fired before the 1 year mark, now unemployed for six months. Please help.

    K9lover replied to AesthesiaSeeker's topic in Nursing Career

    Inmates can be master manipulators; it is not considered a gift (anything and everything is considered

    Bad messed up

    K9lover replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Nurses Recovery

    As to what sort of job you can do while waiting did you work in another non-healthcare field prior to nursing? If so perhaps you could return to it. Getting ahead here, hoping all goes well and you...

    Caught diverting methadone.

    K9lover replied to Nursemel05's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Try not to beat yourself up so much and who needs them if they are going to look at you differently? I was a lowdown drunk and used cocaine (1980s, there was plenty of it!) Got clean and sober with no...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    K9lover replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I do not believe 'LadyMossberg' is an actual nurse or he/she would know it is spelled HIPAA and it is over-the-top absurd, I suspect this is a

    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    K9lover replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    I think they can report you for abandonment. I live in the mountains, high risk for burning during Summer and being buried in the snow during the Winter; my husband and I have had a roommate last 4...

    YOUR Childhood School Nurse memories

    K9lover replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    None, I do not ever recall going to a school nurse over anything. I didn't even know schools had nurses until

    If not nursing what other career would you have done?

    K9lover replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in General Nursing

    Considered but I am really happy as a corrections nurse. I plan on working in jail/prison for the remainder of my

    If not nursing what other career would you have done?

    K9lover replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in General Nursing

    My dad wanted me to follow in his footsteps and be a cop. I considered it but my dad had a TON of patience. Never raised his voice, never hit us and I mean not once EVER. I never heard the man raise...

    Any truth to this story?

    K9lover replied to Faster's topic in Nursing News

    It is inappropriate although obviously the patient was beyond caring. it is rather weird, I have never had any desire to look at anyone's' genitalia for 'non-professional' reasons. Now a bit off topic...

    Police Barred from Contact with Utah Hospital Nurses after Appalling Arrest

    K9lover replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Detective Payne needs to be fired and charged with assault/false imprisonment under color of authority. He needs to be used as an example of what not to do for all LEO

    Health Care is Not a Right

    K9lover replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    War is not a right any others pay for it. We pay for it rather frequently I would add. I disagree with your post in its' entirety then again I HAVE been bankrupted from anticipated medical bills being...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    K9lover replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking that as well. I suspect he has an extensive history of abuses he has gotten away with and has likely obtained the blood he seeks a number of times when he didn't have a legal right to...

    Bad messed up

    K9lover replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was wondering about the grand larceny also. I had heard of absurdly high mark-ups for hospital drugs but grand larceny in my state would be over $950. A 0.5mg Xanax >$400

    Bad messed up

    K9lover replied to pcbeachbum's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Don't give up your license, I believe you can go into diversion. I knew an RN who did and her license would have been suspended had she completed diversion (she wasn't ready to quit drinking.) I live...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    K9lover replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was referencing an RN on this thread who was speaking of her own suspected DUI. Not this case. I actually stated in my comment that you quoted I was referencing something different. Reading...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    K9lover replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was not referring to nurse Alex, this was a replay to a nurse who was posting about having a blood draw from having a suspected DUI herself. I was raised and educated well by my LAPD Sgt

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    K9lover replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually if one refuses a breathalyzer a blood test can be compelled if one is arrested on suspected DUI; THAT is implied consent one gives for driving. Not the same as the truck driver did not cause...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    K9lover replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    He does need to be fired. Sure bet he knew change in 'implied consent', this was his area of expertise! That point is moot as ignorance of the law is not a valid defense. He was just angry and getting...

    I am finally able to leave nursing by January 2018

    K9lover replied to NursingBro's topic in General Nursing

    How old are you and nursing 'turned' you into an alcoholic? I've heard some interesting excuses to drink but this is a unique one. Nursing does not 'turn' anyone into an alcoholic; we all use the...

    K9lover replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be not only speaking to an attorney I would want to see this officer removed from the Utah PD and charged with assault under the color of authority. He does not belong on any police force and...

    What do you mean I'm not a REAL nurse?!?

    K9lover replied to #Nurse2017's topic in General Nursing

    I got that when I did an occupational contract, don't get it as much in corrections. I think I may not get it as much because I am old and did nearly 20 years of acute care; no one really asks why I...

    Why do We eat our young?

    Not just our young, we eat our old, our travelers, our new staff of any age, our "whoever does not fit in our clique', our MS RNs, our LVNS ad

    The coolest and most glamorous nursing positions are the totally fictitious ones on
