    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    Hannahbanana replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The studies on wait times between doses are based on people who got their doses with different wait times, LOL. Yes, many vaccines need boosters or multiple states for effective protection, and this...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    Hannahbanana replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I trust you will learn more when you actually go to nursing school. Your assumption of improper testing is invalid. The need for facilitating rush distribution is not evidence of poor research, study,...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    Hannahbanana replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK, a few misconceptions here. I’m not under any illusion that it will change your mind, but for those who are interested in facts... 1) The several vaccines for this novel coronavirus *have*...

    Volunteeering to give COVID immunizations

    Hannahbanana posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Since it's been established that the vaccine rollout will not proceed as sort of planned anticipated, the Biden/Harris transition team might be looking for ways to facilitate distribution of whatever...

    Hannahbanana replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Superstitious Nurses

    Hannahbanana replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    In our ICU we had an ... object ... that looked like a tomahawk, hung up over one of the two desks. it was so long ago that I don't remember what it was for/against, but heck, we all believed

    Domestic Violence Screening

    Hannahbanana replied to Nurse Mack's topic in Patient Education

    Your local women's shelter can give you a pat on the back and some resources you can have on the table or in the restroom for anyone who needs them. Show them to your employer and tell them you would...

    NP Legal Consulting Course

    Hannahbanana replied to rbarger's topic in Legal

    Sorry this is late, but here's an answer for you. There is a life care planning course for physicians but none that I know of for NPs. However, I think you will find all you seek if you take the...

    What to charge for chart review/opinion?

    Hannahbanana replied to INN_777's topic in Legal

    Usual retainer I see is for 5-10 hours of work, replenished as used up before more work is done. A good agreement will save you a lot of trouble in the future. There's a good article in the Journal of...

    I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    Hannahbanana replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You feel uneasy about this because your conviction that you have nothing to fear isn't much better than whistling in the dark. You might feel it's just luck that you haven't been infected yet. Luck...

    HIPAA violation and future employment opportunities

    Hannahbanana replied to kmcd90's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    @JKL33 Thank you for this, and for recognizing that I was trying to clarify. Namely, Federal penalty under HIPAA against entities (not individuals) is a completely different issue from...

    HIPAA violation and future employment opportunities

    Hannahbanana replied to kmcd90's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Not exactly. HIPAA applies to INSTITUTIONS, not individuals. When a nurse comes asking if the Feds will be concerned with her behavior as an individual and gets feedback here that she will, that is...

    HIPAA violation and future employment opportunities

    Hannahbanana replied to kmcd90's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I know this is a very old thread, but perhaps we could find out what happened. First, OCR goes after institutions and companies in the business of delivering or paying for healthcare, NOT...

    HIPAA Violation? I don't think this is a violation

    Hannahbanana replied to OneRN50's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I meant people who deny access to information "because of HIPAA," in ignorance or willful obstruction. Thanks, should have made that

    Anti-Vaxxers Shut Down Immunization Events

    Hannahbanana replied to J.Adderton's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it's a pretty far stretch from "vaccination for communicable disease that endangers others" to "next thing you know they'll be regulating your religious expression." The Pope his ownself is...

    HIPAA violation, or just creepy?

    Hannahbanana replied to TheAppalachianRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I have to wonder how much of what he was observing (especially your computer screen) turned into fodder for his fraud.

    Do pH nurses change their title to doctors?

    Hannahbanana replied to Future MSN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's actually illegal in most places to call yourself a nurse or allow others to call you one if you are not licensed as one. My kid c a PhD is called "doctor" to her face and in print. An earned...

    HIPAA Violation? I don't think this is a violation

    Hannahbanana replied to OneRN50's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I used to carry a print out of what HIPAA is and isn’t. Suggest you go to www.ocr.gov and get this info (it’s short, sweet, and in clear language) and share it around. HIPAA deniers come in two...

    New case manager

    Hannahbanana replied to maco1's topic in Case Management

    You can ask a colleague for a look at her cheat sheet-- and then you might have a better idea of how to develop your own. Or your system might print out a list of everyone with day of admission, marks...

    Having A Nurse As A Patient

    Hannahbanana replied to SkyDancer77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A patient who doesn't report adverse events is going to make the nurse look bad when the next shift comes on

    Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Hannahbanana replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    What myoglobin said. Been there, done that. Nurses almost overwhelmingly strike not for benefits and salary but for better patient care. That means having enough staff hired to deliver it, and enough...
