  1. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    Nope. We are a community health clinic. We have networks we work with, but we are our own entity, which started in pop-up tents 30 years ago
  2. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    What is your concern with doing BP checks and basic scrubbing? She's 2 months away from 18 and will have the same liability as any adult. I can't imagine anything changing too much with her maturity or ability to learn in the next 2 months.
  3. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    Great question. I have in the past and get lost in a rabbit hole of a phone tree. Once I did speak with someone and all she said was, "I don't know", not, "I'll find out". Maybe it's improved since then. Might try them again. Thanks for the reminder
  4. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    She approached us, we don't have a designated program, per say. Again, we are very rural (located in a field, essentially, 40 minutes from the nearest hospital). We all wear many hats and have to contract out our legal services. I, like everyone else...
  5. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    We are a small, very rural, primary care clinic. We have a local vocational school that trains CNAs and MAs. Some start classes in high school, which has clinical training as part of the program, so there has to be something they're using. I emailed ...
  6. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    Hello all, Does anyone know what the law is for holding underage (17yo) volunteers responsible for HIPAA when they are working with PHI? Our IT has some concerns and I'd like to see the guidance on this to know for sure. Should we have her parents al...
  7. ASN - can I get a job as a school nurse?

    Next year, the school nurse at a small rural school near me will be retiring. I have already let them know last year my intent to apply and they were very excited about it. They asked me to volunteer to get trained and attend training with the school...
  8. Elevated PT, but decreased INR?

    Ahhh...ok. I see what happened. I wrote down his therapeutic range instead of the normal range. Sorry - still getting the hang of this. Thanks everyone!
  9. Elevated PT, but decreased INR?

    Leslie - the norms for this pt. are PT 9.6-11.8 and INR is 2.0-3.0.
  10. Elevated PT, but decreased INR?

    That's my confusion. Why is the PT above normal, but the INR is below 2.0? (Pt. is >60yo and 2d. post surgery) Although...it's been hard to get a straight answer about PT/INR levels in school. Mostly I keep getting that they are the same thing/go ...
  11. Elevated PT, but decreased INR?

    Hi all, I had a pt. whose PT wa 12.6, but INR was 1.28 (just started warfarin). I am just a student RN, so I must be confused about how this works. Can one be increased while the other is decreased? Or do they normally correlate in the same direction...
  12. An Open Letter to (Micro)Managers

    That. was. awesome.
  13. Has anyone gone through San Juan College's nursing program? What did you think of it? I am trying to decide between this program and Pueblo Community College's (Durango, CO) for the fall. TIA!
  14. Concorde

    In AZ, there is the Banner Nurse Fellows program through the Maricopa Community College system. It is very competetive, but if accepted, they waive your tuition in exchange for a 3-year commitment to work in the Banner Health system after becoming an...
  15. RSAA Grads - peripheral question

    Thanks for asking! :) I LOVE it. It's mostly review for me as I've been through all of the nursing pre-reqs, but the instructors are fabulous and they take their Boards pass rate (highest in the state) very seriously. I would highly recommend this p...
