I just happened across your post; I do not have any experience being an educator. I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear of this; I does indeed sound very stressful and completely unsustainable. Your physical and mental health and well-being are impo...
Nope. I know you meant to be inflammatory but that accusation isn't really appropriate for this scenario. This is an issue that matters, a person died directly because of the recklessness and negligence of a nurse. There is quite a contingent set on ...

If you're saying that you filled out the paperwork with one of the patients' health information and then sent the paperwork to an entity that had nothing to do with the situation then yes technically that is an inappropriate disclosure of what is lik...
The OP did not get a CT scan because her employer demanded it d/t her falling asleep at work.
