I just had an interview at this awesome facility. My question...I was going to send a thank you note as a follow up, is this still proper these days?

I too have worked in the land of grey for my patients, but never outside the law. There is black and white regarding laws and are in place for a reason. My patients will always come first, but I will not work outside the law or the scope of my practice. I thank all who have responded.

It was sure not my desire to offend anyone. I only posted to get some sort of feedback regarding texting. Nursing sure has changed but the backbiting and nasty behavior has not. I am truly sorry if my words were offensive. I just wanted to know what other nurses thought.

Wow..There really is something wrong with me..174 people who I would guess are nurses have looked at my post and two have commented. No offense to anyone but it leads me to believe that 172 are texting..what has become of nursing? Doctors should know better as well. If you have the time to text you can call. Its just lazy and huge HIPPA violation...Oh well

There must be something wrong with me or Im just too old and not "with the times" as has been pointed out to me. Nurses today, staff and management , dont see a problem with texting doctors. Did not get a job today because I frowned upon doing such, on my personal phone no less. I stated that I call doctors and mentioned HIPPA and she (RN!) stated to me that doctors dont have time to answer their phone. I have worked with others who see no need to write their title after their name in the narc book, and even others who dont know how to write a hard copy! doctors order. No name who wrote it,no date dosage, etc. Everything is sooooo impersonal and computerized and no one cares. My husband says...why cant you just text like everyone else does?!Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
