1. Hipaa violation-What happens to RN?

   xrayrn replied to xrayrn's topic in HIPAA

   Well, she was fired. Vindictive? Nah, just asking, but it does seem like hipaa needs to be readdressed with a lot of nurses here. She was fired for the exact reason I thought she would be: going through charts she had no reason to be in. My friend w...

2. Hipaa violation-What happens to RN?

   xrayrn replied to xrayrn's topic in HIPAA

   So AGAIN: It is OBVIOUSLY a Hipaa violation, but what usually happens here? Will she be fired? They said she'd be disciplined, but is that enough? She was going through charts one by one looking for his name specifically. She was not assigned-nor wa...

3. Hipaa violation-What happens to RN?

   xrayrn replied to xrayrn's topic in HIPAA

   No, you aren't understanding AT ALL. His boss at both jobs KNEW where he was and what happened. The chart that nurse accessed was NOT a patient assigned to the E-ICU so she was NOT to be in it. Please respond to the question and stay on topic if y...

7. Groin Prep for Cardiac Cath

   xrayrn replied to sguthland's topic in Emergency

   Ok-Let me clarify what they mean by "prep" the groin. It means take a razor and shave (a circle of area) where the superficial femoral artery and veins are--Not sterile anything--that is not something that would even make sense. Maybe that is the p...

8. Groin Prep for Cardiac Cath

   xrayrn replied to sguthland's topic in Emergency

   Ok, sorry that is just ridiculous--First of all it does'nt take 15 to 20 minutes to shave a person's groin (maybe you don't know how--someone could show you--and I am not trying to be funny here), but it does save time in a life-threatening situation...

9. Groin Prep for Cardiac Cath

   xrayrn replied to sguthland's topic in Emergency

   Yes, it should always be done beforehand--It saves us time in the actual Interventional and Cath Labs. Problem is, it rarely does get done, if ever. If you have time, why not? Order the xray, labs, etc, do what you can and get on with it....

10. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    xrayrn replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Because I want to be happy...finally. I have been miserable, unchallenged, and just plain broke and I am tired of it. I want to be a nurse because I want to work in the ER (where the action is - ha ha) ..I have worked in the medical field for over t...

    xrayrn posted a topic in Texas

    Hi ya'll! I will get right to my point: I am currently in Arizona where they have an accelerated program at ASU (16months) after you finish all the prereq's of course, for those WITHOUT prior degree even. I was wondering if Texas (Houston areas reall...

    xrayrn replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing

    "Never Lower Tilly's Pants, Momma Might Come Home!" Thats the one we learned (10 years ago) in Xray school for the wrist bones (carpals)--I think it is used everywhere and very old. They M's are the greater and lesser Multongular bones, used instea...

14. RIO Micro Online - Do they ever curve tests?

    xrayrn replied to xrayrn's topic in Arizona

    Thanks for answering---I did ok without it actually after the essays were graded, just nervous I guess. I am about one point from an A so I will just have to do better from here on out. me:specs:

15. RIO Micro Online - Do they ever curve tests?

    xrayrn posted a topic in Arizona

    Hi, This is the first time I have ever written on here, but I have been lurking out here for some time. I love this site (hi to all). I was wondering if anyone is taking Micro at Rio online or if anyone has taken it before and knows if (how do I sa...
