2. Please help! Was this a hippa violation?

   rn865 replied to rn865's topic in HIPAA

   We do not have one, we are a small privately owned facility. What are the patient's options? Can we be sued for it? It was a nurse who sent the papers, can her license be in jeopardy? The patient was fired because she told them a different diagnosis ...

5. Who is responsible to find shift coverage?

   rn865 replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you guys, i see your point of it not being a sick call and was known two days before the date. That was a point i wasn't able to bring up with her. To her, I'm the manager and should be responsible regardless of the reason. Then what's the poin...

7. I was fired by an MA at orthopedic clinic

   rn865 replied to srmann's topic in General Nursing

   When i was first hired at my current job, there was an MA who had been there years before me. She made my life miserable, bad mouthing me to patients and other staff about me. She was mad that I got paid higher than her even though i had no experienc...

8. Who is responsible to find shift coverage?

   rn865 replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

   Do you work as staff nurse as well like i do? If I was a traditional manager or supervisor who oversees the schedule, then of course thst would fall under my responsibility. Unfortunately, we do not have that setting.

9. Who is responsible to find shift coverage?

   rn865 replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

   Unfortunately there's hardly any distinction with an MA and RN because we all do everything from front to the back. And this MA was hired only a couple months after i was hired 4 years ago. We are close so my husband thinks maybe she is taking advant...

12. Cost Cutting/Budgeting --- the patients suffer the most

    rn865 replied to abbaking's topic in Safety

    Hate to say this but that is exactly what some of my duties are. I work in a private urgent care and they don't hire cleaning people because they expect us to literally fill that bucket, mop the floor and scrub the toilet. Also do patient registratio...

13. RN filling in for receptionist, workflow.....anyone else?

    rn865 replied to tussah10's topic in Ambulatory

    Oh, just to add. We get paid if we stay over. We never have to stay longer to do receptionist stuff though. It's usually because patients come in late and we have to finish taking care of them. How is it that you don't get paid like that? I guess its...
