Lack of Public Awareness November 25, 2014 Last week my dad was punched in the face and given a bloody nose while going for a walk in Cambridge, Mass. He has a Grade IV Glioblastoma and is in the ICU now. We are hoping to take him home on hospice t...

It's been a long time since this happened and my dad passed. I've been thinking about things since the I can't breath movement. I was wrong to bring up race in my op. I was trying to be descriptive. That was all. But I see now, race details were irre...

Jason Pierre-Paul Lost His Finger. Did ESPN Violate HIPAA By Reporting It? Here's the link to the article: Jason Pierre-Paul Lost His Finger. Did ESPN Violate HIPAA By Reporting It? - Forbes Jason Pierre-Paul, the star defensive end for the NFL's New...

I like your example Horseshoe. I think this case is more sinister than the Aunt May example. The reporter bribed a hospital employee for protected health information. In essence he knowingly posted stolen information that he had no right to see or s...

The red flag is the seven days a week. Business will always put themselves first. The cannery may try to coerce you into working more hours than you are comfortable. This could negatively impact your education. I worked 24 hours a week when I was go...

I just quit a pretty lucrative contract assignment. They offered me the permanent job, with a 25% pay cut (from contractor pay to salaried employee pay) and an increase in hours of 10 to 20 extra hours per week . Would you take a job that essentially...

In the winter, my hands get dry and chapped easily. I put a thick layer of A&D ointment on my hands at bedtime and then sleep with cotton gloves on, so I don't get it on the sheets. It works really well to soften feet too (just sleep with socks o...

Rua61 I'm so sorry. I'm not trying to be inflammatory. I was trying to describe a situation. Without the use of pictures, one uses descriptive words. If it was a short person versus a large person, I would have used those words. I was merely trying t...

No my family is not pressing charges. The family was stretched thin with the care giving. Insurance didn't cover 24 hour nurses aids. Only he and his wife live in MA. The rest of us live outof state. 3 weeks ago I went to visit. I walked with him for...

GrnTea, I thought about leaving the skin color out of it. But I felt it was germane. This person punched my dad soley based on what he saw. The really funny thing is that my dad was against racism his whole life... If I had said an Italian kid punche...

So you are saying that disabled people should not be allowed to walk outside alone? He is not totally blind, he can see out of one side. He brought this attack on himself because he was threatening? He's a 125lb Jewish man. If Woody Allen stopped on...

I saw that article and thought it was real. But when I tried to find corroboration from AP and Reuters, I couldn't find anything. That's when I suspected it was a hoax. If you aren't sure, you can also check Snopes.

I like to bring crocheting to social events and doctor's offices. It makes me happy. The PTA moms at my daughter's school make fun of me and call me an 'old lady'. It shouldn't make a difference, but it does. I'm surprised sometimes by the attitude. ...

@imintrouble I think Duncan was at fault for lying about Ebola exposure, but the CDC keeps insisting that if you are not showing symptoms, you are not contagious. As for Duncan, it's human nature to want to survive. Africa has a 90% mortality rate a...

Based on statements from nurses it did not identify, the union described how Duncan was left in an open area of the emergency room for hours. It said staff treated Duncan for days without the correct protective gear, that hazardous waste was allowed ...

I remember using different colored pens for charting. I think it was Blue for day, Green for evening, and Red for night.

I took INH in nursing school. (My PPD converted to + in my second year of clinicals). I had some complication and they switched me to Rifampin. I was fatigued and my grades dropped from an A to a B.

For my daughters (and myself), I posted a picture on the bathroom scale that says, "you are more important than this number".

The capstone is an 8 week project. It's about a 5,000 word paper (not including appendices etc.) that includes a short presentation outlining the project. I like the way they set up this class. Each week we do a section of the paper and submit it. Th...

I did something similar. I quit a $93K a year contract job (55 hours a week). Now I have a permanent 20 hour a week job with less stress that still gives me health insurance and take the occasional per Diem shift (maybe one day a week) to keep my cli...

It sounds like a management issue. The nurse is abandoning the patients and management is afraid to do anything because she might report it to the EEOC. This is about patient safety. Either accommodate the nurse for her multiple breaks or if that is...

I'm not sure why there is such a cost difference. I have run into a bump in the road for my last class. Right now I am finishing up my capstone research project. The only class I have left is the practicum, which involves 150 hours of interning under...

I would tell your nurse manager that you put in for a transfer because you would like the opportunity to grow professionally and thank him/her for the opportunity to work on his unit. A thank you for our time working together goes a long way.

Nurse Susie denied talking to herself; she had a the best listener!
