  1. Clinical Instructor

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    What information? Is this in response to your HIPAA question that we all already answered? If it is, I'll just repeat. YES, what you read on the hospital website is correct. YES as we all said,...

  2. Clinical Instructor

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    Right. If the question was "Did her nursing instructor violate HIPAA" the answer is still NO. If the question was, "When my daughter gets treatment for her needle-stick, is she covered under...

  3. Changing male patient's brief

    CommunityRNBSN replied to JoMar's topic in General Nursing

    Also, it is actually irrelevant (in this case) whether he was "one of those diaper people.” Obviously it would be different if you were caring for a man who had no need for help with hygiene at all...

  4. UK Nursing Student Wanting to Move to US

    CommunityRNBSN replied to StarUSA's topic in Immigration Advice

    This is a good idea. The reality about the US is that we have 50 states that are largely self-governing in matters like this. If you search for “[state] board of nursing,” you'll find their...

  5. How do nurses work with headphones on?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    We had some MAs doing it at my work, but administration shut it down quickly. It was during a time when we were doing endless, interminable Covid testing at an outdoor site that had been set up in our...

  6. Access to medical records

    CommunityRNBSN replied to ApplePineApple's topic in General Nursing

    "This is probably laws have changed and EMR release the records sooner" I couldn't follow this sentence and I'm not sure why you think the people who answered you aren't providing good

  7. Why do the younger generations have less empathy? And how can we stop them from going into nursing?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Cinnamon Troll, it is a very Boomer thing to identify a person based on her hair color— and to assume that her hair color is somehow related to her personality. Also, as a millennial, I...

  8. Have you ever left in the middle of a shift?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Of course people leave in the middle of a shift. Sometimes family calls with an emergency, sometimes you have one yourself (one of our school nurses was taken out by an ambulance when she had...

  9. BON Reprimand For Being Late To Work 3x

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

    Yeah dude, it doesn't sound like the reprimand was from being late! Nurse Beth, you should change the headline to "Reprimanded for falsifying

  10. LPN to RN new grad denied for multiple positions

    CommunityRNBSN replied to BreathWisdomRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with this. Unfortunately, it is just impossible for strangers online to know what the problem is! I wish you the best, and you will eventually find something. Have a trusted person look at...

  11. Advocating for the Integrity of the ARNP

    CommunityRNBSN replied to JackStrawRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am definitely in favor of more stringent requirements. I have an acquaintance who recently graduated from some online MSN program, and is practicing as a psychiatric NP now, and I have been...

  12. Need Your Opinion About Medical Emergency

    CommunityRNBSN replied to intellica's topic in General Nursing

    This, 100%, pre-existing power struggle. It sounds like you're a school nurse, since you were in a setting with a teacher and no doctors around. I would simply move on from this disagreement....

  13. Can you give an opioid without a Dr's order?

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

    I wonder if this person isn't fluent in English or is working in a different country where "a doctor's order" means something different? For example, in the US, all of this would be electronic....

  14. Nothing Left To Give At Home

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Weebnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Keep this at the forefront of your mind: Even though he is asking you about physical symptoms, the problem is actually emotional/psychiatric. (I say this as a person with OCD myself, I know whereof I...

  15. I Have Poor Judgment As A New Nurse - Not Sure How To Improve

    CommunityRNBSN replied to uniteddemclub's topic in First Year After Licensure

    While you are still learning, and learning to develop good judgement- do you have anyone else that you can consult with before you make decisions? For example, if I were one of your co-workers, and...

  16. Starting My Career as an RN on a Burn ICU in a Level 1 Trauma Center

    CommunityRNBSN replied to makers's topic in Burn

    Even the words “burn unit” make me hurt. However, I am so glad we have good nurses who want to do

  17. You're Right, It Is You: How do I get out of this career please?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not usually a word nit-picker, but I am going to take issue with calling nurses an "enslaved work force." I know you were using hyperbole; obviously I know you don't mean we are literally slaves....

  18. Thermometers

    CommunityRNBSN replied to RNwhohasgoats's topic in School

    I have wondered this too. I was at work and felt unwell, so I used ours (I don't know what brand it is, but it is labeled for forehead). I did my temple first, and it showed around 100. Then my...

  19. Has anyone ever worked a strike before? What was your experience?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Bulma's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    As you can already see, the internet is not a good place for discourse about this. Consider your job offers, consider how you feel about the strike, talk to your loved ones, and then make a decision....

  20. Afraid Of Failure

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Renna86's topic in General Students

    If you take all the time you need to study, you’ll be more successful than if you try to rush and cram so that you can take the old version of the test. If it were me, I would not worry about the...

  21. New Nurse, New Mom

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Newbynurse123's topic in General Nursing

    This is a relationship problem, more than a working/nurse problem. From here on out (for at least 18 years), you and hubby need to work to solve parenting problems together. Here's your first one:...

  22. Is this discipline or discrimination for being autistic?

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

    The question of how you have been successfully employed on the same unit for 10 years, and are suddenly having trouble, is a huge one. Did you get a new manager? Did expectations change? New...

  23. UTI Coughing

    CommunityRNBSN replied to thisnurse123's topic in General Nursing

    ? I’m going to give a ZPak to the patient I have coming in Monday (I work in a psychiatric office right now). The chart says she has “chronic Lyme.” THANK you for clarifying that maybe...

  24. CNA with a question.. ocd on the job.. afraid someone will die because of me

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Anxiousandafraid's topic in General Nursing

    The International OCD Foundation has some good resources, as well as a provider directory. If nothing else, reading some other people's stories may give you a little reassurance that you aren't alone...

  25. Is This Common in LTC?

    CommunityRNBSN replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oy. Yes, I did run into one nurse who would panic at the thought of math and become unable to figure out how much to give.
