  1. Is my nursing CYA brain taking it too far?

    JordanRose replied to Kallie3006's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    That is beyond ridiculous! He can't sign for his own treatment until he is 18, why should a parent be denied access to his medical

  2. Did I break HIPAA?

    JordanRose replied to brunette2296's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    After a very bad experience a few years ago, I post absolutely nothing on social media about my job. As far as I might go is "I had a good day." I don't even have where I work listed on my social...

  3. Thoughts on Covering Own Shift

    JordanRose replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I had a supervisor try this nonsense on me when my husband had to have emergency surgery the next day. I told her "I don't think so." I would check the your employee handbook,

  4. Drug seeking- something to ponder

    JordanRose replied to Nsg is an art's topic in Pain Management

    Our office is part of a larger health care network. "ACME" health network policy is that any patient who has more than 2 narcotic prescriptions written for chronic pain are required to sign a...

  5. Paper Charting venting

    JordanRose replied to raindrops1234's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know that any hospital in the US still did paper charting. I didn't mind the paper charting, but everything now is electronic. I think there is some definite advantages to paper charting vs...

  6. Nurses Notes - A Thing of the Past?

    JordanRose replied to Smb411's topic in General Nursing

    No way can a series of clicks give you the total picture of what happens during a code, or some other situation. I have dealt with some crazy family situations that needed documented, along with...

  7. Nurses Notes - A Thing of the Past?

    JordanRose replied to Smb411's topic in General Nursing

    And that is downright

  8. Too much facebook

    JordanRose replied to orangelate's topic in General Nursing

    Not only unfriend her or him, but block them too.

  9. Unprofessional to mention you have other patients?

    JordanRose replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. And that is what is exactly what is wrong with a big part of society today. Everyone thinks they have to be first and foremost, and to hell with everyone else. If your loved one wants to take...

  10. Risk of getting your family members sick?

    JordanRose replied to Pete_soon2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    In the 16 years I worked bedside in the hospital, the only time I contracted something from a pt was scabies. The pt had been misdiagnosed and I was exposed prior to taking isolation precautions. I...

  11. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

    JordanRose replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    My current pet peeve is when people add the letter "y" to words, such as cucumber-y, vinegar-y. Hate it with a

  12. Would you report possible diversion?

    JordanRose replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. The harm is to the patients who are not getting their needed medications. I worked with a nurse who was given multiple chances to get clean (because she was a pet of the DON), and she failed...

  13. family member is patient of practice-HIPAA violation?

    JordanRose posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    A co worker's family member is a patient of our specialty practice. I know that the co worker (the doctor's nurse)has been in her family member's chart for various reasons when the pt calls and...

  14. Thinking of leaving bedside nursing due increasing documentation, short staffing, etc

    JordanRose posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 17 years. I have worked both med/surg and ICU in a CAH (critical access hospital) my whole career. For the most part, I have really enjoyed my job. The past few months...

  15. Thinking of leaving bedside nursing due increasing documentation, short staffing, etc

    JordanRose replied to JordanRose's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I would just update this thread. Four weeks after my original post, I was terminated from my job that I had mentioned in the original post. When that happened, I thought my world was over!...

  16. Post your daily nightmares here.

    JordanRose replied to Biffbradford's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses and other healthcare members need to start filing charges against patients who assault us. It is total nonsense that healthcare workers even have to put up with this nonsense. If these...

  17. Holiday rotations...

    JordanRose replied to Bec7074's topic in General Nursing

    At my former employer, it was suppose to be every other holiday. Never worked that way though. It basically depended on how much your manager liked you. One nurse in our unit had not worked...

  18. Your thoughts on being "written up".

    JordanRose replied to RNSuzq1's topic in General Nursing

    I am so glad I am out of hospital nursing. That was the kind of hostile environment I worked in for 16 years. Then through a chain of events, I found myself out of my job last year. I was able to...

  19. Whoever invented the lunch and learn

    JordanRose replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Well, our hospital didn't even provide us with a free meal. We were suppose to get our lunch and then attend the "lunch and learn." Don't think

  20. Whoever invented the lunch and learn

    JordanRose replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    If you are unpaid for that time, I don't see how they can make it mandatory. The last hospital I worked at was doing this "lunch and learn" crap. I refused to go. If something is mandatory, then I...

  21. Electronic Charting

    JordanRose replied to nursepandra's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The hospital that I used to work at used CPSI. I hated it. Very redundant, lots of clicking, not very user friendly. The e-MAR is just a huge set up for med errors. I am so glad that I don't have...

  22. What electronic charting program to purchase

    JordanRose replied to Schatzi RN CEN's topic in Rural

    Stay as far away from CPSI as possible! It is a horrible, stupid program. It is the most user unfriendly system I have ever had the displeasure of having to use. The hospital where I worked at...

  23. Does anyone have info on IV potassium in their clinic?

    JordanRose replied to Vampgirl143's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I sure wouldn't be doing this without telemetry and crash cart! Sounds like a dangerous situation to

  24. Pharmacists giving injections!?!

    JordanRose replied to chevyv's topic in Patient Medications

    I have a friend who is pharmacist who worked for a large national chain. He retired a couple of years ago, and one of the reasons was because of the flu shots. He said it was because he was so busy...

  25. Touching blood without gloves

    JordanRose replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot speak for other facilities, but I know if our infection control nurse would have seen that 60+ year old nurse doing that, she would have at least been given a verbal warning for violating...
