1. When confidentiality isn't quite the same

   am27 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   I acknowledged that. Just because there wasn't a law, doesn't mean the concept and implication of patient confidentiality didn't exist.

   am27 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   So prior to HIPAA, there was no such thing as the concept of patient confidentiality? K. Pretty sure HIPAA is not HIPAA worldwide, either.

4. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

   am27 replied to murseforever's topic in Relations

   Just as other professions outside of nurses save lives. I never even implied that saving lives only happens in acute care hospitals. OrganizedChaos first said that medical assistants only work in clinics and are never in a position to even perform CP...

5. Question for medical assistants

   am27 replied to helpinghands93's topic in CNA/MA

   OP, I was a medical assistant for about ten years before I graduated nursing school and got my first RN job 😊 as an MA, I worked in primary care clinics and it was this experience that lit a fire under my butt and made me want to pursue nursing. I...

   am27 replied to murseforever's topic in Relations

   Why do you feel the need to put down other professions? I worked in a clinic that did not employ nurses on site so yeah, I was the one administering first aid. without another clinic at the very least OR hospital or urgent care less than 9 miles radi...

7. side rail use in private duty homecare

   am27 replied to Nursing.capps's topic in Private Duty

   You quoted me and asked when in nursing school it was taught that all siderails up is considered a restraint so I answered you. To be more specific, it was included in basic skills learned in the first part of class. Nobody is being rude to you.

   am27 replied to Nursing.capps's topic in Private Duty

11. BSN with 1+ yrs exp in hospital - wage scale for MNA covered hospitals in Twin Cities?

    am27 replied to BadgerRNEmily's topic in Minnesota

    I took that from my contract, so no I don't have a link. If it's not easily available to outsiders, I don't feel comfortable sharing more than I already have. Perhaps you can contact MNA directly.

13. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    am27 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I did think that was a little odd too; my instructors were also the ones with access to the Pyxis and Omnicells.

    am27 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I apologize, we all know that it's hard to decipher tone over written word. I completely agree with everything in your post and this is how all of my clinicals went, in various hospitals even. Because of the consistency throughout organizations here...

15. Nursing student hair color change for more respect

    am27 replied to Vonqiqi's topic in General Students

    OP, I actually have an answer for you. If it looks like a cheap, trashy, bleach blonde job (I'm picturing Christina Aguilera's hair 10 years ago that coordinated so well with her sketchy spandex onesies), dye it all brown. NOT SAYING THIS IS TRUE, bu...
