  1. Interesting post and perspective of both countries. I have worked more on the medical documentation and policy side of things, and just moved to New Zealand to pursue an academic lecturer track. I am curious, now that you are in Australia and working...
  2. Criteria for bipolar and monitoring?

    Ha Viva, no, not a real "hypothetical" nurse but a situation I wondered about cause my son takes the meds without having bipolar. Just wondered how it "might" work if that were the case in nursing. Again, I agree, definitely a violation of HIPPA if y...
  3. Criteria for bipolar and monitoring?

    Thanks. I wasnt sure about the meds disclosure part since monitoring programs are also for those with addictions to controlled substances, or if that factored into disclosure for those not addicted but take meds that fall into that category. I think ...
  4. Hi everyone, been off for a bit cause i had to take my dissertation quals exams...4 days of writing 3 papers...passed. Anyway, i have a hypothetical question about bipolar meds and monitoring. This came about when my eldest son recently started showi...
  5. Sorry I've been a bit MIA but dissertation work and teaching simultaneously, especially this semester, has been very time consuming. I just wanted to give a shout out and thank you to those of you who provide some responses and gave voice to some of ...
  6. Viva, can I ask what state you are in? I know you mentioned Texas, where I am, is very strict. I'd like to look into some other states and see if I can dig a little deeper for information....or if anyone could chime in who is from another state for ...
  7. So far I think I might get the to ahead to do the study, although it will take a while to get IRB approval through my university...maybe by the semester's end?? I will keep everyone posted, but I do appreciate the interest and hope to get some great...
  8. Thanks Viva. I'll keep everyone and you posted if I move forward with the study. I need to go over the logistics with my advisor about creating a small study. However, I'm working with her on expanding this analysis/study while taking a medical rheto...
  9. Great question, but also complicated. Medicalizing disability has it's positive and negative connotations in relationship to social constructs. It's basic definition is not really negative, it just means to 1. view or treat as a medical concern, prob...
  10. I have been compelled by the narratives and stories I read in this forum esp about the medicalization of nurses and nursing students with disabilities, and the marginalization of those nurses with bipolar and other mental health diagnoses who disclos...
  11. I wonder for those of you who "scribed" as a transition while searching for an RN position, does or did "scribing" help you become more familiar and comfortable with navigating the EMRs when you finally did settle into an RN job? I know each system/h...
  12. Are you a new informatics nurse?

    I was reading your post and was thinking back to a week ago when I was talking to a physician liason for a hospital. She said some of the ER drs paid out their own pocket for "scribes" to chart and navigate the EHRs for them. Said it allowed them to ...
  13. EHRs and accessibility

    Thanks HouTx. Good info. I'll take a look at that link. Question, do all EHR system builds/vendor products provide those options you mentioned? It's the first I've heard of the sticky keys as an accommodation. For vision impaired, are the graphic...
  14. EHRs and accessibility

    I'm taking a grad class on web accessibility and disability this summer and am writing my final paper about nursing and EHRs, well I had hoped to....I can't find anything specific to this topic in nursing, mostly PHRs and patient access. Does anyone ...
  15. any issues with EHR/EMRs?

    With providers being mandated to use EHRs, I was wondering if anyone has experienced obstacles or challenges with using EHRs/EMRs in the workplace or as nursing students in the classroom? If so what kinds of disabilities/challenges do you face? I am...
