   Of course! Don't stress yourself out. It will seem like you get everything at once, and that the instruction isn't clear. Here's the secret: No one else knows what they're doing either (Including half of the faculty):wink2: Seriously, take it ONE day...

   HeyLush3 replied to Donnagg123's topic in HIPAA

   I work as a CNA at a doctors office and have full access to all the charts in the clinic for our patients as well as their hospital charts (we send pts and our doc's to the neighboring hospital for procedures). For someone to tell me I couldn't look ...

9. The title of "nurse"

   HeyLush3 replied to HeyLush3's topic in General Nursing

   That is how it is with my state- OR. Apparently my manager sees it all as the same. Very frusterating!!!!

10. The title of "nurse"

    HeyLush3 replied to HeyLush3's topic in General Nursing

    That's exactly what I thought... My manager's argument is that since I have a state issued lisence from the BON it's okay to refer to myself as a "nurse" even though it's a CNA lisence.

14. Anyone Hear From Linfield?

    HeyLush3 replied to OregonBSN's topic in Oregon

    I am on the 6th floor... I love it for the simple aspect that it's close to stumble home to, and it's so close to EVERYTHING. That, and my work is about a total of 6 blocks away. Couldn't ask for something better.

15. Anyone Hear From Linfield?

    HeyLush3 replied to OregonBSN's topic in Oregon

    I'm here now... I moved in yesterday. I may have been able to move in early since I went to the McMinnville campus. I'm not in the accelerated program (I'm starting in the fall) but I work just a couple blocks away and you can't beat the rent here. :...
