  1. Bosses teenage daughter allowed to sleep in recovery bay

    Jolie replied to OhioRN0916's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    [quote=OhioRN0916;9514805 We do do not allow family members to be with patients at this point in their surgery due to HIPPA laws... The others have already answered your question, but this part of...

  2. Selection Criteria

    Jolie replied to kemallen's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, it would be best to give clearly stated examples of previous experiences to demonstrate your mastery of these

  3. Nursing Demand in Nebraska.

    Jolie replied to ArvinC EMT's topic in General Nursing

    As a former Illinoisan, I feel your pain! I second your desire to get out of that sinking heck-hole as soon as possible. NE is a great place to live 9 months of the year. Winters are harsh, but you...

  4. New NICU RN First Day

    Jolie replied to chloejean104's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I trust that your first day of NICU nursing went better than mine 31 years ago. I was sooooo nervous about commuting into Big City for the first time that I hardly slept and skipped breakfast. By...

  5. Hipaa violation

    Jolie replied to Invasion1's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    We can't possibly predict the outcome of this investigation. Are you the "classmate's

  6. Selection Criteria

    Jolie replied to kemallen's topic in General Nursing

    Are you expected to give an example from your previous educational and work experience of how you met each criterion? If so, please write them out and we'll help you "polish"

  7. 15 lb weight lifting restriction / light duty

    Jolie replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    If your need for light duty is not due to a work-related injury, your employer may or may not honor the request. In my experience, if they have enough desk work to justify your hours, they will make...

  8. HIPAA and Making Appointments

    Jolie replied to Jolie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This! I would have just called back as Ali, but I have a raging case of bronchitis and wouldn't fool anyone. Update: I got a call Monday evening on my cell reminding me of my daughter's appointment....

  9. HIPAA and Making Appointments

    Jolie replied to Jolie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Thanks, everyone. I appreciate your perspectives. I did some research and found that it is not a HIPAA violation for someone other than the patient to schedule or confirm appointments as long as no...

  10. Infant Phototherapy/Bilibeds

    Jolie replied to PinkNBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Stable term and near term infants do well temperature-wise with bili blankets. My youngest was a 36 weeker on home phototherapy in the dead of winter 19 years ago. Worked like a

  11. Blank consent to release forms

    Jolie replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Who is being asked to sign this form? Patients as young as 14 who probably can not legally give consent? Or their parents who are possibly too stressed at the...

  12. Pitocin WARS

    Jolie replied to kdot2003's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In a perfect world, this OB would be required to obtain informed consent from her patients reflecting her practice of administering Pitocin in a manner inconsistent with established safety guidelines,...

  13. Is it abandonment or taking a moment to collect myself?

    Jolie replied to Mollythenurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is not legal advice, just my personal impression. I think some are confusing "patient abandonment" with "job abandonment." I believe each state BON has a definition of "patient abandonment,"...

  14. Expired epipens

    Jolie replied to SchoolRN32's topic in School

    In our community, there are a number of service organizations that do overseas medical mission trips. They accept Epi-pens that are less than 6 months expired. If you have any that are more than 6...

  15. Using phones as a sitter-thoughts?

    Jolie replied to allinone's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, work-related tasks are fine. Paperwork, reading, policy & procedure review, use of a laptop or tablet to do continuing education or on-line coursework, etc. Having a beverage...

  16. Using phones as a sitter-thoughts?

    Jolie replied to allinone's topic in General Nursing

    Having recently been at the bedside of a family member requiring 1:1 sitter care for safety, I agree with Beth's response above. The appearance of a staff member assigned to the bedside being on...

  17. Revoking Your Own License: How to Remove Your Name from the Board of Nursing

    Jolie replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    While your presence on the BON website may never die, you can excuse yourself from the professional duties of an RN simply by not working in nursing. Many states' mandatory reporting laws apply to...

  18. Dispensing meds from a punch card?

    Jolie replied to Brady29's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's not right. As a previous poster mentioned, meds can be repackaged. To discard a perfectly usable dose of medication simply because it wasn't given in "order" is to show a total lack of regard...

  19. Graduating soon, did nursing kill my relationship?

    Jolie replied to TraumaICUqueen's topic in General Nursing

    I won't attempt to answer your question, because like the posters before me, I simply can't. Congratulations on your accomplishments, and my heartfelt best wishes that you and your boyfriend are...

  20. Advice pls! New grad2b-daughter's cancer treatment

    Jolie replied to RN44's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered continuing your current employment until your daughter finishes her treatment? My very best to you and your

  21. Dispensing meds from a punch card?

    Jolie replied to Brady29's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I can understand the wisdom of both options: dispensing in order, regardless of the date the medication is given, or dispensing according to the dates on the punch card. But I don't understand how...

  22. Parent Phone Calls for Medical note

    Jolie replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in Telephone Triage

    It sounds to me like the provider's office is being asked to confirm an illness/absence that they have no first-hand knowledge of, as you may already suspect. Families with good relationships with...

  23. Is Developmental Psychology the same as Human Growth and Development?

    Jolie replied to Danielle91's topic in School, College Programs

    Only your university can answer that question. Get a copy of the course description and syllabus of the class you intend to take and ask the nursing department at University of South Florida for a...

  24. Help what is regulation of drug screen???

    Jolie replied to jfox01's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't understand how the OP is certain that consulting with an attorney will: a.) Result in being fired, and/or b.) Ensure that she maintains her

  25. I need a loan but can't get a cosigner

    Jolie replied to kendleh's topic in General Students

    You have been "awarded" a $4K subsidized loan for the upcoming semester and need $7.5K more. That 's $11,500 in loans for one semester of school. At that rate, you may owe as much as $50,000 by the...
