  1. Andrea Yates Psych MR Online - HIPAA Violation?

    goingnuts replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't waste my time worrying about Rusty's feelings as the man doesn't seem to have any. He knew he shouldn't have anymore kids and just went on his merry way. I don't think what happened was...

  3. New!!!

    goingnuts replied to Jayne LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I am not real sure but I think it has something to do with being able to refuse to work certain areas because of the possible danger. Like in home health there may be certain places that are...

  4. Stop #@$%!* Thief!!!

    goingnuts replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so exasperated right now I could scream! But I'm going to keep nagging, and if he STILL doesn't do it, I'm going to go over his head and talk to the VP of operations. I don't really want to do...

  6. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. All I meant by that is if they get into trouble then somebody had to have said something. This subject sure stirred up a lot of emotions. And the person who started it already said they did it...

  10. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Correct delioso. In the twelve yrs. I have yet to have a problem. A lot of the times residents[not pt.] don't really need all of that junk. But, since the family or the resident themselves seem to...

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    My goodness where on earth do I say I couldn't handel a Blood Pressure cuff? I plainly stated that the equipment in the nursing home is no good. Geez. And yes I meant what I said about doing...

  13. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Nope you never saw where I said anything about giving a med to a CNA. Better go back and look again. I have said all along I wouldn't do that no matter what. What is so difficult to understand? I...

  14. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that is the difference in me and you. I would never be tempted to ask anyone to help me that was not considered qualified. I would have done and have done exactly what the other nurse did....

  15. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks but I have no business being in acute care. I am right where I should be. At least I have become proficient in knowing what is going on with residents in nursing homes. No matter where I go the...

    thanks for the laugh. I really needed it. I think a good sense of humor is just what the Dr.

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Very funny. But sorry I don't agree with you. The stuff you have in the hospital makes a big difference. ANd no I don't take a blood pressure everytime I give clonidine. Do you think the equipment in...

  19. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    In life there are never any guarentees. I can't go around worrying about everything when working in a nursing home. I do the best I can and take care of what can get me in trouble first and foremost....

    If you are talking about Trisun then lots of luck. I have heard nothing good. All bad. They love suspending you. This little tid bit from someone who has been at the same facility for 18yrs. They...

  21. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how anything could come up missing if I keep the keys. The whole thing is just stupid anyway. My point was I wouldn't be so much concerned with whether or not a resident got the med as I...

  22. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you wouldn't know. Same with anything else. All I was getting at was I don't think narcs are anymore important. YOu don't know a med aid gives or other nurses. Like I said in Texas you can't...

  23. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    I realize that. I don't think that is why they were more concerned. If you draw them up for the aid then you are not giving her the keys so she can't very well get to

  24. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    goingnuts replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why some of you are talking about giving narcotics as if that is soooooooooo different from the other meds. I have worked mostly nursing homes for the 12yrs. I have been doing this....
