    Well, if they were complaining about traffic on the way to a patient's home, that could potentially be construed as a HIPAA violation. Maybe a bit of a reach, but considering that home health and...

    6/11 WILTW Unsupervised Chalk Use

    Does anyone else remember the commercials for K that ended with "And don't forget the cute scrubs!"? That one made me want to throw up. So glad I don't watch commercials (or any TV, for that matter)...

    No. Just no. This woman was no more responsible for what happened to her than I am for what happened to me. You just don't get it and I suspect you never will. No single person asks to be raped or...

    how long do you keep your proof of training for?

    I would double check what your state BON says about that in their recommendations. If you get audited for one year, they are likely to want to see copies of certificates for previous

    Reinforcement of the "you can't save them all" fact. MVA with abdominal and chest crush injury. Didn't make it out of the OR. We didn't even have ID on the patient, so they left the OR as a J. Doe. I...
