  1. Question about confidentiality

    Elisheva replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I hardly think a lawyer is surfing this site trying to find clients. My point is that this is an open forum and lay people can use this site as well as nurses. I don't care what others post;...

  2. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the gentle reminder, Roy. I suppose we should now return to offending each other over the original topic.

  3. Question about confidentiality

    Elisheva replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    The factors you have described are not privacy violations because they are conversations taking place between caretakers on a need-to-know basis. Discussing patient information on a public forum...

  4. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Leslie. Do not believe CG. He is a feather ruffler from way

  5. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    CG, my daughter is fine now. The cancer was not the deadliest form of ovarian cancer but a more rare type called a "low-malignant potential" tumor. However, we did take her to MD Anderson after...

  6. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, twotrees. No reason to sweat it here. Personally, I try to watch just because it's easy for me to fall into bad habits - did I mention that I used to smoke? No problem, Earle. It's all...

  7. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    My youngest daughter is still in the reserves. She's always sweating the PTs and the measuring and the weighing, even though she's slim. While at Fort Hood, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at...

  8. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    My eldest was an MP at Fort Leavenworth and my youngest was a diesel mechanic stationed at Fort Hood. My MP (then Reservist) was called up within 2 weeks of 9/11 and I had her 4 year old for 5 months....

  9. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    earle 58, my post was tongue-in-cheek, as in "could we find another controversial post"? I'm sorry you failed to see the humor in it. I think if you read the posts that followed, you would see that...

  10. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    I've been out of nursing for 10 years but am starting a refresher course so I can attempt a return. The whole computer charting thing is foreign to me. I can't imagine that I'll be happy with it; I...

  11. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    That's great! I'm sure you are as proud of yours as I am of mine. Actually, they are both out of active duty but one is still in the Reserves. I will always consider them Army, though, because they...

  12. The Today Show

    Elisheva replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    I actually like the idea of the white uniform or some kind of identifier. I worked very hard to become a nurse, and I was always proud to wear the uniform. Maybe we could all get matching

  13. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Pride goeth..... By the way, my daughters are Army.

  14. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Oppppps. Here...just beat me over the head with Gregg's

  15. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Opps. Misread you, big guy. Yes, there should be a comma between nurses and grammar. Had I said "nurse's grammar" (showing possession), there wouldn't be. In this case, I was listing a series of...

  16. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    No, it should not. You can check Gregg's Reference Manual to verify that. I was a Certified Professional Secretary and a Certified Administrative

  17. The Today Show

    Elisheva replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not wearing the hat. It gets caught on the curtains between the patients beds, and that makes me

  18. The Today Show

    Elisheva replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    I think there was some research done (at least our instructors said so) that indicated that a "professional looking" nurse was less likely to be sued. That may be a bit much, but I have to say, I...

  19. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe we should do a thread on nurses, grammar and spelling. Did I say that out

  20. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

    Elisheva replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

    "Thank you for not judging me." Gee, Corvette Guy, you kinda brought that on yourself. I appreciate the apology. Over it.

  21. Question about confidentiality

    Elisheva replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    There are several people on the forum who are not nurses. There's a thread where nurses post about errors they've made. ? Not so sure I'd put that out there. Information is too easily obtained...

  22. LPN'S Supervising RNs'? How would you feel?

    Elisheva replied to cowgirl4u's topic in General Nursing

    I can assure you we were not taught to disrespect LPNs in my nusring school. My instructors would never have tolerated any such behavior, and we were all too busy just trying to get by. On the flip...

  23. Question about confidentiality

    Elisheva replied to Elisheva's topic in General Nursing

    If you give your state, your age and some other personal information in your profile and enough client detail, I think a good lawyer might be able to figure it out. Some people actually name the...

  24. New grad just got fired

    Elisheva replied to rn2day's topic in General Nursing

    You brought up some really good points. In my last (non-nursing) job, I made copies of anything and everything that happened at work that might affect me in any way and kept them in a file at home....

  25. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    Elisheva replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I'm probably being extreme here, but I'd call my lawyer. I would just want to explain to him what happened and document my side of the story with him for future
