my patient fell last night during change of shift, i havent gotten report for the patient yet. who's responsibility would that be? pt was A+Ox1 as reported by prev RN, but without any bed alarm, vest restraints/ med. thanks

hi our hospital has started bedside report a couple months ago. i work night shifts 11-7 and most of the times patients are asleep. our manager said that if patients are asleep we should do change of shift report in the hallway. is this a HIPAA violation? i'm very apprehensive to do hallway reporting bec i've always learned that its prohibited to discuss pt info at open access areas. do you guys know where i can inquire further?

thanks for your reply suzanne. another question, would you suggest for me to apply for an OPT visa right now? thanks.

Hi i am a canadian citizen graduating this May 2006 from a 2-year RN program in the US. i read that i can get a TN visa with no problem, but a TN is only renewable every year. i was wondering if i can apply to become a permanent resident (green card) after i graduate, and if i can, what are the procedures to do this? and what is the waiting period for the whole process? another question... if i decide to get the TN visa right after i graduate, can i eventually apply to become a permanent resident, can my TN visa get converted? i really dont have any clue as to the whole process. the immigration said i don't have a student visa (F-1 visa). The immigration said i only have an I-94. so i'm not sure what to do.

i'm a canadian citizen, expecting to graduate this may from a 2-year RN program here in the US. I read that i can get a TN visa with no problem, but i understand that a TN visa is temporary renewable every year. i was wondering if i can apply to become a permanent resident (green card) here in the US once i graduate? if i can, how do i go about it?
