    pollyanna83 replied to lizzieborden's topic in Patient Medications

    Take it back. Even if they don't appreciate your honesty you will learn a valuable lesson and when things get tough (or painful) you won't be tempted by the knowledge that you got away with it before...

    pollyanna83 replied to iloveclay's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I noticed there a a number of nursing positions in the insurance industry. They are a bunch of blood suckers but you could do case assessment. At least you would be sitting and the pay is

  3. Wondering what to do! HELP

    pollyanna83 replied to iloveclay's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Watch Susan Boyles on youtube and answer your own question. No one defines or limits you, accept you. You create your own reality. I graduated from college with a man that was 84 and it was his...

  5. HIPAA violation wanted more responses

    pollyanna83 replied to pollyanna83's topic in General Nursing

    Got pretty much what I wanted to know. Good attorneys often use test trials. They also play devils advocate.

  6. HIPAA violation wanted more responses

    pollyanna83 replied to pollyanna83's topic in General Nursing

    I think I said in the original post that is exactly what I told her. I never asked for any advise to give her. I was venting. Please reread the original

  7. HIPAA violation wanted more responses

    pollyanna83 replied to pollyanna83's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very close to her and twice her age. But thanks for asking I feel your concern for her well being. I hear a lot of fear in these responses. What I don't hear is concern for the rule of law. My...

    Obtaining medical information (even about an admittance) for personal use is a HIPAA violation. Using that information and having a patient moved (againest a physicians advisement and without his...

  10. HIPAA violation wanted more responses

    pollyanna83 replied to pollyanna83's topic in General Nursing

    Why would she demand to be moved from the best hospital and specialist to treat her situation? The answer would be to make a group of nurses feel more comfortable. She, afterall was the patient. The...

  11. HIPAA violation wanted more responses

    pollyanna83 replied to pollyanna83's topic in General Nursing

    You probably missed the part about her emergency admittance. 103.7 fever and non-responsive may clarify it for you. Unfortunately she did not have a choice her specialist are on staff there also. She...

  12. What is your opinion/knowledge base on recovery programs?

    pollyanna83 replied to Magsulfate's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My friend said she would rather jump thru every BON hoop than have to reveal to a new employer that she is on probation. She would rather take the 90 in 90 and the random drug screen with daily call...

  13. what to say?

    pollyanna83 replied to power99's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I cannot believe that anyone thinks that a person should have to reveal any information to a PEER. A peer does not pay you. A peer does not set policy. A peer is just another cog in the machine just...

  14. what to say?

    pollyanna83 replied to power99's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thank you, That is the only explaination that should be given to other employees by management and the person with the restrictions does not have to give a peer any explaination if they do not choose...

  15. what to say?

    pollyanna83 replied to power99's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The only person you owe a COMPLETE explaination to is your NM and HR when you are interviewed for the position. Anyone else feeling like they need to know can ask the NM. If they can't muster the...

    pollyanna83 replied to power99's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ye right!!! My friend can tell you volumes about coming clean and what it gets you. Frankly it is no ones business other than your supervisor and HR. If they don't like the fact that they have to...

  18. what to say?

    pollyanna83 replied to power99's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think I'd stick with " I took a walk on the dark side and now I'm finding my way back, thanks for asking and being concerned" If they are just curious it will satisfy them, if they are meanspirited...

    pollyanna83 replied to pollyanna83's topic in Nurses Recovery

    pollyanna83 replied to AmyRN1227's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Were you caught diverting Tiak or did you just come forward and admit to diverting? There seems to be greater repercussions from getting caught diverting than admitting diverting. I'm not sure what...
