1. I feel uncomfortable doing this

   RschIVF40 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Professionalism

   I agree with icumaggieRN and Meriwhen. Also, if you end up writing a recommendation letter for nursing school for this relative, they may then expect assistance regarding another recommendation letter when they graduate and start looking for their f...

2. I'm so afraid that I violated Hipaa!

   RschIVF40 replied to guest879529's topic in HIPAA

   Sorry to get in on this conversation at the last minute. I would move forward from that situation and not get overly stressed about it, but rather utilize it as a learning situation and just NOT repeat doing this sort of thing. In the future, I wou...

   RschIVF40 replied to CampNurse10's topic in Research

   Although I'm getting in on the tail-end of this convo, I've done rsch at work as well as am doing it for my PhD. You mentioned you have no research background. Conducting a research study requires quite a bit of work and can be very time-consuming a...

4. Male locks (hair)

   RschIVF40 replied to ColorGreen's topic in Men

   I agree with RunBabyRN, and the other comments regarding that fact that it may depend on your geographic location. In my experience, I've seen individuals with dreads at the MA, LVN, RN level, including management, as well as PA's & MD's. I hav...

8. Am I cut out for this????

   RschIVF40 replied to Nikki0727's topic in LPN/LVN

   I agree with RN403 and anh06005..I would also see about finding, perhaps, a senior RN and ask to "buddy up" / partner with that RN to get some additional on-the-job tips that this RN has learned throughout the years. Review that RN's charting may he...

13. Upset/impatient patients

    RschIVF40 replied to ginazimmermann's topic in Ambulatory

    I agree that it is challenging asking patients so many questions. At the front desk, when the patient is registering, they are just asked, "Any changes to your current address or phone number?"...our patients are fine with this. Specific to medicati...

14. COBs...what do you think about the handling of the Ebola outbreak

    RschIVF40 replied to richardgecko's topic in COVID

    I agree with roser13, that Ebola does not seem to be as much of a "stigma" as HIV/AIDS was "back in the day", mainly because it doesn't seem to be transmitted by sex, although my understanding is that Ebola can be found in semen (and other body fluid...

15. Spervisor hid meds
