  3. When does HIPPA no longer apply?

    Have Nurse replied to GuineaPigs's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    In an emergency situation, if it directly impacts the care of the patient, HIPAA goes out the window. In this case, it wasn't just him, but the safety of the other patients in addition to you, that...

  7. Dealing with a childish coworker?

    Have Nurse replied to LPNewbie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ADHD or no, his behavior is risky, disruptive, unsafe and unacceptable. If he is that unreliable to take his own meds, he should not be passing medications to others. Report him

    Have Nurse replied to ButterflyRN90's topic in General Nursing

    Have Nurse replied to ChrisJ6991's topic in Government, Military

    Department of Defense is the slowest bureaucracy in the world, probably because it's the biggest. Don't stress if you need to take another job in the mean time. Just show them your military orders...

  22. Quit Job While Pregnant and Can't Get Hired

    Have Nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Have Nurse replied to Sheika34's topic in First Year After Licensure
