1. Positive Varicella Titer Result, Then Negative?

   Kiroppi replied to Kiroppi's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, I know. It's unfortunate that I have to get another set of vaccines, but that's okay. I was just taken aback that these came back negative. Is it possible to lose immunity just after two years? Weird.

6. So Many Things Going Wrong!! PLEASE HELP ME GET A PEACE OF MIND!

   Kiroppi replied to Kiroppi's topic in General Students

   Well we do not have to log into the computer itself. We just unfold the computer and the computer is already turned on. The only thing we have to log into is the EHR (CONNECTCARE). But it is not locked after we log in! I am starting to think I just l...

   Kiroppi replied to Kiroppi's topic in General Students

   I asked a family member about this situation. They said that many nurses forget to log out and they have more pressing matters to report than something that every nurse does, Even today, I saw many nurses not logging out. However, today the nurses we...

    Kiroppi replied to Kiroppi's topic in General Students

    Well I did log out of patient records, so it was just a regular computer screen after logging out. I'm just worried that the hospital will see this and think I am violating HIPAA despite not showing any patient information.

11. Should I be Worried? I need some opinions?

    Kiroppi replied to Kiroppi's topic in General Students

    Hi Wuzzie, I do not believe it is an auto-log in. Since in order to even use the computer is to put in our username. But I am just worried, what if the hospital catches this and thinks I am violating HIPAA. I do not believe I violated it.
