1. Offensive Badge

   JordanRose replied to saraclark62's topic in General Nursing

   I would have reported you too. Politics have no business at work. Period. I refuse to discuss politics with co-workers and patients. My politics are none of their business, just like their politics are none of mine.

2. Is my nursing CYA brain taking it too far?

   JordanRose replied to Kallie3006's topic in HIPAA

   That is beyond ridiculous! He can't sign for his own treatment until he is 18, why should a parent be denied access to his medical records?

3. Did I break HIPAA?

   JordanRose replied to brunette2296's topic in HIPAA

   After a very bad experience a few years ago, I post absolutely nothing on social media about my job. As far as I might go is "I had a good day." I don't even have where I work listed on my social media profile, nor do I friend any co workers on my ...

4. Thoughts on Covering Own Shift

   JordanRose replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

   I had a supervisor try this nonsense on me when my husband had to have emergency surgery the next day. I told her "I don't think so." I would check the your employee handbook, ASAP.

5. Drug seeking- something to ponder

   JordanRose replied to Nsg is an art's topic in Pain

   Our office is part of a larger health care network. "ACME" health network policy is that any patient who has more than 2 narcotic prescriptions written for chronic pain are required to sign a controlled medication contract. Patients are subject to r...

6. Paper Charting venting

   JordanRose replied to raindrops1234's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't know that any hospital in the US still did paper charting. I didn't mind the paper charting, but everything now is electronic. I think there is some definite advantages to paper charting vs electronic. Paper charting is so much easier to d...

7. Nurses Notes - A Thing of the Past?

   JordanRose replied to Smb411's topic in General Nursing

   No way can a series of clicks give you the total picture of what happens during a code, or some other situation. I have dealt with some crazy family situations that needed documented, along with crazy patients. Just being able to "click" everything...

8. Nurses Notes - A Thing of the Past?

   JordanRose replied to Smb411's topic in General Nursing

   And that is downright scary.

9. Too much facebook

   JordanRose replied to orangelate's topic in General Nursing

   Not only unfriend her or him, but block them too. Immediately.

10. Unprofessional to mention you have other patients?

    JordanRose replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. And that is what is exactly what is wrong with a big part of society today. Everyone thinks they have to be first and foremost, and to hell with everyone else. If your loved one wants to take a walk and the pt in the next room is coding, sorr...

11. Risk of getting your family members sick?

    JordanRose replied to Pete_soon2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    In the 16 years I worked bedside in the hospital, the only time I contracted something from a pt was scabies. The pt had been misdiagnosed and I was exposed prior to taking isolation precautions. I was exposed to whooping cough, chicken pox, poss T...

12. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

    JordanRose replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    My current pet peeve is when people add the letter "y" to words, such as cucumber-y, vinegar-y. Hate it with a passion.

13. Would you report possible diversion?

    JordanRose replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. The harm is to the patients who are not getting their needed medications. I worked with a nurse who was given multiple chances to get clean (because she was a pet of the DON), and she failed every time. If you know you are diverting, than ma...

14. family member is patient of practice-HIPAA violation?

    JordanRose posted a topic in HIPAA

    A co worker's family member is a patient of our specialty practice. I know that the co worker (the doctor's nurse)has been in her family member's chart for various reasons when the pt calls and requests refills, to schedule appointments, etc. There...

15. Thinking of leaving bedside nursing due increasing documentation, short staffing, etc

    JordanRose replied to JordanRose's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I would just update this thread. Four weeks after my original post, I was terminated from my job that I had mentioned in the original post. When that happened, I thought my world was over! Bedside nursing was the only thing I knew in my ...
