   DragonPurr replied to hellosun's topic in General Nursing

   I say go where ever you can get a job! May not be that "exciting" place you are expecting, but it will be a first start in your journey for some where other than where you are now. Good luck

3. Was it or was it not?

   DragonPurr replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA

   Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought HIPAA covered patient information not anyone else. I hardly see where you could be faulted for a HIPAA violation in referencing the aunt who was not a patient. Meh..all this BS starts to get on my nerves. People...

6. Nurses letting other nurses chart on their account

   DragonPurr replied to DQstatus's topic in General Students

   I agree with Pangea. NOT the students lane of fire. In fact, this may even draw the student into being the focus of unintended scrutiny.

7. Nursing school help! What to do...

   DragonPurr replied to sarahness's topic in Aesthetics

   You are probably well advised to volunteer or shadow a nurse for several days before committing yourself to nursing. I'm telling you right now there is no way you are avoiding vomit, poop, sputum, blood, the smell of C-diff. Sorry but that is all pa...

    I graduated my ASN school in 2008. The oldest person in our class was 62. Since our graduation he has gone on to earn his BSN and complete NP school. Age is just a number. Don't let it hold you back from the things you want to do.

14. Gratitude corner

    DragonPurr replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Recovery

    Good for you! Sounds like you are finding your balance. I'm personally grateful that this year long deployment my husband has been on is almost over. Fingers crossed we have less than a month before he comes home.

15. Hostile work environment

    DragonPurr replied to SillyStudent's topic in Relations

    The truth of the matter is that under the circumstances you describe, you will never change the environment. They have already set the battlefield and you are just fresh fodder for the cannons! I wouldn't quit outright but I would be actively lookin...
