  1. Having a rough patch :(

    You poor kid! Hugs coming your way. Pour one for

  3. Privacy violation??

    Have Nurse replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    You did the right thing. As for HIPAA, I agree with Old Dude. This was shared appropriately on a "need to know" because it involved the student's (pt.'s) care. The parents should be ashamed! If...

    Have Nurse replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    You got that

  5. Employee Complaint

    Have Nurse replied to FlyingFishofFury's topic in General Nursing

    What happens next is up to your facilities H.R. policies and procedures, but really you should be having this discussion with your Supervisor. I am not sure how appropriate it was to discuss...

  6. Worried about a B

    Have Nurse replied to anxfut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not clear why you think your chances are "ruined." A "B" is still above average. Please don't be anxious about this. If your other grades are fine you shouldn't be losing

  8. Hiring manager offered position, HR said no and won't tell me why.

    Have Nurse replied to MiloRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is so disheartening! I am sorry you experienced that. Unfortunately, no one warns us in school about the politics of our profession. Try to put it behind

  9. Case study need help!

    Have Nurse replied to blissfulsusu's topic in General Nursing

    You're joking right? The whole idea is to see how YOU use your critical thinking

  10. Discussion with doctor

    Have Nurse replied to Appleaday01's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If you spoke with him directly and it was to help with the patient's care and you did not share demographics, photos, financial information then no. Diagnosis comes under that too but in this sense,...

  11. HIPAA with other nurses

    Have Nurse replied to jkclark's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    As long as it has to do with you needing to know to perform direct care for them, that is

  12. Is this HIPPA breach or just rudeness?

    Have Nurse replied to Apple-Core's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Actually, I have to disagree with this. The O.P. was spoken to directly in situation 1 as the patient in front of others, which made her identifiable. In situation 2, it was the same, only this time,...

  13. Can I vent?

    Have Nurse replied to ADN_Is_Complete's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you are on quite a roller coaster right now, doesn't it? You obviously love your grandmother and have a compassionate spirit! Just love her, Honey. Even if she doesn't respond much, the...

  15. Seems like nursing school isn't for people with other responsibilities!

    Have Nurse replied to marij's topic in General Students

    Yes. I wondered about that

  16. I have NO idea what speciality to choose. Please help!

    Have Nurse replied to CassColl's topic in General Students

    I agree with CassColl. You may not have discovered yet where you feel the most comfortable. It's early days. Me? I liked to see how the body worked and see patients make progress after surgery so...

    Have Nurse replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    You have a heart for nursing and for listening. Don't ever lose

  20. Death and Repossession

    Have Nurse replied to Eris Discordia BSN, RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Please know that you matter and you are not alone. Loss and getting hit with one thing after the other when you haven't even had the chance to catch your breath can make you feel as though you just...

  21. Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

    Have Nurse replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No. Med/Surg. A GPA doesn't show what kind of nurse you will be. You can emphasize your positive qualities that you mentioned. I'd hire you. The rest is

    Have Nurse replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    That is hilarious! LOL

  23. eavesdropping

    Have Nurse replied to orangepink's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There's nothing more unnerving than feeling micro-managed. You might privately sit down with her over a cup of coffee, professional to professional and ask if there is a reason why she feels she has...

  24. ... and now for the consequences

    Have Nurse replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    ..."until the infection is gone." I'm sure he meant to say

  25. Can you give preblood transfusion IV meds less than 30 mins before the transfusion?

    Have Nurse replied to Luichiede's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but we don't know how new this nurse is, or if they've ever done this before. The fact that they are asking is wise and should be
