   BloomNurseRN, you're right: I am totally in excess when it comes to my worry! That's actually something that I'm trying to work through, seek help and self-care on. I think I'm naturally given to worry, and I find that the older I get, the more worri...

8. So what is a Hipaa violation, anyway?

   guest879529 replied to lulain's topic in HIPAA

   I am SO frightened by Hipaa, and rightfully so! I'm neurotic about never, ever mentioning anything about patients to anyone that doesn't need to know; but recently I think I overstepped my bounds, so your post and the others' responses help me. Here...

   I recently met a patient at our facility who came to us with a really hard injury. I had a long talk with the patient and he's been on my mind a lot. Recently, while with my family, I mentioned to them that I had met someone at our facility who had c...
