3. Good Old HIPAA Violation!

   leosasha replied to shodobe's topic in General Nursing

   Odds are, the consequenses meted out were to send a message to all. Too bad it was your name attached to it. And yes, I think an inservice prior to the event was in order. There is an atmosphere of paranoia surrounding the entire HIPPA thing. We ...

   I have also met these unfortunate souls. Am very grateful that there have not been many. I have reported 2 in my career. Their behavior was outrageous. Thankfully, something was done to adress the issue both times.

5. I cannot do this job anymore!

   leosasha replied to superwifenursewoman's topic in General Nursing

   I would reccomend investing in yourself. Try a few theraputic massages. They aid in balancing the psyche. They also assist in renewing your physical energy. Until you make the decision to leave nursing you will need all the strength you can muster...

11. Bad Managers

    leosasha replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    My experience with managers is that they are the last to know what is really going on. Many don't want to be told anything that they don't want to hear. They're just riding that wave called delusion. The system is set up for this.

    leosasha replied to mitcornsus's topic in General Nursing

    St Louis area is still hiring. Of course the transition to the "bible belt" might be a shock as well as the weather. Humid in the summer and you never know what in the winter. For a future resume Barnes Hospital always looks excellent. It is also ...

15. Apologizing when paging physicians

    leosasha replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    I have observed this phenomina Think it's just part of the culture. I can't imagine why I would apologize for or ask another to accept an apology for simply doing our job. We could probably do away with the practice entirely if nurses had more cla...
