   I think my employer is violating HIPAA, but when I talk to leadership about it I'm basically ignored.

   C0SM0 posted a topic in HIPAA

   So I work in the OR at a small surgery center. Although we aren't very big, we do 40+ surgeries a day and have a lot of foot traffic. During our surgeries, there is a camera attached to the microscope. The surgeries are then broadcasted live to ot...

   Dropped Pill - Do you give it?

   C0SM0 replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

   I'd give it. They've probably had dirtier things in their mouth before.

   Patients Say the Darnedest Things - WIN $250! Nurses Week Contest 2018

   C0SM0 replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

   I work in the OR. One day anesthesia was putting a four-year-old child under, and he became combative and starting kicking and screaming. As I was holding him down, he stared deep into my soul and screamed "YOU ARE NOT INVITED TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY!"...

   Drug Test and HIV Meds

   C0SM0 replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Students

   As long as your "friend" has a prescription for whatever they test positive for, it will be fine. I tested positive for methamphetamines when I had to take my drug test. I had a prescription so it was no big deal.

   I just graduated with an ADN in December and was hired at a Magnet facility, in an RN position, three months before I even graduated.

   Freaking out that I violated HIPAA?!

   C0SM0 replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

   Lol, I did that all the time during clinicals. I'd just bring the documents to school with me the next day and put it in the shred bin. No big deal.

   Does your school require badge checks before an exam?

   C0SM0 replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

   During exams at my school, we weren't even allowed to bring bags into the classroom.

   Correct ABG and electrolyte values for NCLEX

   C0SM0 replied to dbabz's topic in NCLEX

   From what I understand, if lab values are abnormal on NCLEX, they will be either very high or very low. You won't have to be guessing as to if it's abnormal or not as long as you know the general ranges. For what it's worth, I just took the NCLEX l...

   Quick ? about diuretics

   C0SM0 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

   I'm not sure exactly, but I started nursing school in January 2016 and our instructors told us to only expect generic names. They were right. I just took my NCLEX this past Friday, had 265 questions with many drug questions (no drug calc, though) a...

    Quick ? about diuretics

    C0SM0 replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    On a side note, your school should also be teaching you the generic names of the drugs instead of the brand names. NCLEX changed a while back and you'll no longer see brand names. So instead of Lasix, you'll see Furosemide.

    My state doesn't use Breeze so I'm afraid I can't help you there.

    NCLEX-RN 265 questions February 2018

    C0SM0 posted a topic in NCLEX

    I took my NCLEX yesterday, February 2nd, 2018 and received ALL 265 questions. I actually felt like I was doing pretty well in the first 75 with lots of priority/delegation questions so I was a little shocked when the exam kept going. Then it got to...

    NCLEX and SATA questions

    C0SM0 replied to Alexx_xox's topic in NCLEX

    What did you use for resources while studying? I'm using strictly Kaplan and I get MAYBE 10% of the SATA questions correct. Did you think the NCLEX SATA were easier than your resources for studying? I'm taking the NCLEX February 2nd and, needless ...

    Flu - Missing Class

    C0SM0 replied to Phlebotomist21's topic in General Students

    I'm surprised your school gives people the option to not get a flu shot. My school required it or we were not allowed to go to clinicals.
