4. AANP exam--prep for adult NP?

   samarooni posted a topic in NP

   Hi all, I'm taking the Adult NP exam through the AANP in a couple of months. I'm trying to devise a plan for studying--I think I'm going to review all of my pharm, physical exam normals/abnormals, and pathophys/disease specific info. Then I'm going t...

5. REALLY annoyed with AANP!

   samarooni replied to samarooni's topic in NP

   Interesting--I hate to file a BBB complaint, but if I don't hear back from them in the next week I may. I'm waiting on a job, and have been waiting months to certify. It's just beyond ridiculous, especially given that they took my money! Argh!

6. REALLY annoyed with AANP!

   samarooni posted a topic in NP

   Hi all---I sent my application to test (Adult NP) to the AANP back in early November and STILL have not been approved. I called, and they said that my application was complete but that for 'some reason' it hadn't been approved yet. I'm so so so annoy...

9. HIPAA violation with chart note?

   samarooni replied to samarooni's topic in NP

   Well I know that she said she was going to forward it to a bunch of people, which would be a pretty obvious offense, since these people aren't in a 'need to know' group. I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong, it's so frustrating. And I have...

11. HIPAA violation with chart note?

    samarooni replied to samarooni's topic in NP

    Thanks for all of your replies, I'm a little stunned. As a working nurse and soon to be ARNP I felt that I had a pretty clear understanding of HIPAA when it comes to what is appropriate and not appropriate to share. I'm super annoyed that the precept...

12. HIPAA violation with chart note?

    samarooni replied to samarooni's topic in NP

    It totally makes sense that in a small town this might be a challenge, but this is in a huge city in a clinic with well over a thousand patients. Her age was 47 or so, totally 'typical'. I too have heard of not putting extreme ages on notes. I just p...

13. Was this a HIPAA violation?

    samarooni posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I cross-posted this on the ARNP board as well. I'm an RN in ARNP school and am seeking more opinions, this is giving me an MI today. Thanks in advance! **** Hi all, I'm an ARNP student and was recently reprimanded by an instructor for what sh...

14. HIPAA violation with chart note?

    samarooni replied to samarooni's topic in NP

    I'm baffled to by it all and really upset that now I look like a total A$$ to the clinic and what not. I too wondered why *she* forwarded it..um..wouldn't that be an even worse violation? Since those people were not directly involved in patient care?...

15. HIPAA violation with chart note?

    samarooni posted a topic in NP

    Hi all, I'm an ARNP student and was recently reprimanded by an instructor for what she views as a 'possible HIPAA violation'. This is my last quarter as an ARNP student so this is a bit of a shock! I learned that in order to share chart notes with i...
