  1. RN to BSN online

    okay, i'm freaking out. I beggin my first class with UOP on May 16. RN to BSN - do credits transfer if you want to switch?
  2. do you iron your scrubs?

    I do believe that Wrinkle Release (by Downey - I think) has been the greatest invention of the last few years.
  3. Amish in PA and charity care

    We have a fairly large Amish population here in Northern Indiana - and most do pay in cash.
  4. What does your screenname mean?

    First initial and last name - not very imaginative.
  5. Falsely Accused of a HIPAA Violation

    I am the Privacy Officer at my facility (a Community Mental Health Center) and this is how we would handle something like this. Disclaimer - HIPAA is a very gray area and I would not make any move without consulting my HR Director or Center ATTY. 1....
  6. Help! Lost Nursing License out of state!

    I guess I was thinking that the Agency, not the poser, looked up the address (not that makes much sense or seems very likely).
  7. Help! Lost Nursing License out of state!

    There are directories on the internet where you can put in a persons name and find out what their email address is. Not always accurate or up to date, but I have used one a time or two. I'm not at home and I don't remember what the name of the site i...
  8. More Strange Baby Names

    FYI - I live in Ft Wayne and I think it is spelled Harry Baals - we have a street named after him - Harry S. Baals Drive. I saw an obituary for a newborn last week, Celestial Waters
  9. Associates in Health Information Technology.
  10. Thank you for the replies. It does make me feel better regarding the medication.
  11. How very timely. My SO was just placed on Lipitor on Friday. This was his first test. Doctor did not recommend trying diet, exercise and lifestryle changes first. That made me a bit uncomfortable. Is this the new thinking? His total was 276 - tri's h...
  12. Preemie mom with a question

    FYI - I am a Registered Health Information Technician as well as a nurse. The Federal Government regulates the costs of medical record copies and the regs state that they can only charge you .25 per page. They can also charge a pull fee of (I think) ...
  13. How many of you have had this dream???

    I dream that I haven't really passed all of my Nursing Courses (especially the math) and someone finds out and takes away my license. I passed the NCLEX in 1999.
  14. How many of you have had this dream???

    I dream that I haven't really passed all of my Nursing Courses (especially the math) and someone finds out and takes away my license. I passed the NCLEX in 1999.
  15. not documented, not done. what does this mean?

    It is also a factor in billing. If you are audited, and the service is not documented, you will pay the funds back.
  16. age discrimination

    I am also in Indiana - and have never heard of this. When I went to Nursing School - it was based on GPA of prereqs. What school are you talking about? I went to Purdue University - and one of the extensions. I forgot to add, I was an 'older student...
  17. Let's Go Back in Time....

    Don't remember, however, I do remember when I got my test results in the mail. I was terrified to look, so I sat on the back porch and stared at the envelope, until my friend came over and said, "duh, the envelope is addressed to b hart RN!!!! - I ha...
  18. To Brian and allnurses with addiction..

    Boxer shorts!!!!
  19. Bubble gum myth or truth?

    Older sibs (youngest of 6) told me that hot dogs were made from rats tails - don't like 'em to this day.
  20. What's the weirdest baby name?

    Had a friend in grade school named Harley Davidson. I hope he doesn't ride a honda.
  21. Smoking

    I have a real problem with this - what are they going to tell you that you can't do on your own time next? Extramarital sex, abortion?? The last time I checked, smoking (tobacco) is not illegal. I don't have a problem with an employer telling me that...
  22. Anyone from Northern Indiana

    Fort Wayne here. Extremely proud of my Hoosiers (even though we got spanked last night).

    Incident Reports are protected as Peer Review Documents and are not discoverable.
