1. HIPPA violation?

   cindyloowho replied to tellafriend's topic in HIPAA

   Why does this bother you so much? I think some people get too crazy about hipaa (not hippa, BTW) during out of context situations. This woman is just hanging with her friends. If she is being inappropriate in other professional manners, then sure, te...

   cindyloowho replied to swimchick89's topic in Arizona

   You will only see a GAPP posting when there is a program opening. They do 3 or 4 classes a year and open the applications for a brief time, several months before each class starts. There is not one posted now because they just started a new class so ...

4. 2012 Phoenix Children's GAPP

   cindyloowho replied to swimchick89's topic in Arizona

   Previous GAPPer here. It's hard to get in because they have literally HUNDREDS of applicants (500 maybe) so sometimes you have great credentials but just the sheer volume of applicants means some great people have to be screened out early on. They si...

   Thank you for the input, klone! Congrats on getting in, I hope it is as smooth for me as well. I've have no trouble landing the jobs I want thus far so hopefully that string of luck will continue. Doesn't sound like Denver pays it's nurses very well ...

9. One year later as a nurse, what have I learned?

   cindyloowho replied to Catch22Personified's topic in General Nursing

   Lighten up, he's just venting. I'm sure he's a wonderful nurse and I can't imagine that you haven't felt this same way on many occasions about many of his gripes. And if you haven't, then I'm sure you are in the minority. Bedside nursing is hard work...

    I'm already a BSN and halfway through my MSN, but Ive got friends looking for options. You say it gets you into the DNP program at the masters level, but do you know about eligibility for the certificate programs?

14. Fired for a medication error

    cindyloowho replied to stiches's topic in Career Support

    Just culture will only work if we support its virtues. I don't think you should have been fired because it sounds like you followed up with appropriate actions. Why so harsh, other posters? Have you all never make an error?

15. Felt so bad, haven't checked if the patient have an iv.

    cindyloowho replied to japz's topic in Medications

    We need more information. Did the patients actually NOT have an IV and you charted a whole shift that they did? Or did they have one that was bad/infected/infiltrated, and you didn't assess and intervene? Did they have fluids running in it? You shoul...
