    Might be a violation, maybe.

    klone replied to AcuteHD's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I know what incidental disclosure means/is. And I'm still telling you - having a conversation from 20 feet away, in a public hallway, is NOT incidental disclosure. This wasn't a semi-private room, or...

    Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    klone replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And I'm sorry, but I still consider IV starts, phlebotomy and Foley insertion as "tasks" and tasks can be learned by anyone. I don't care if a CNA or MA does it, as long as they were properly

    Certified nursing assistants not welcome!

    klone replied to Barbie8808's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    To me, "backbone" is the foundation. And nurses are the foundation of nursing. Those things you learn in Foundations that you called the "CNA tasks" are actually NURSING tasks that are deemed...

    Healthcare is really business care

    klone replied to Rnhenri's topic in General Nursing

    As long as the US remains a capitalist nation, with a capitalist healthcare system, things won't change. Socalized medicine is what it's all

    Healthcare is really business care

    klone replied to Rnhenri's topic in General Nursing

    Of course healthcare is business. Every entity wants to make money. It's what makes the wheels go round. It's what pays your paycheck. If a hospital was not profitable, you wouldn't have a job. As far...

    Why did you become an MA?

    klone replied to studentih's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I actually laughed out loud. And this was minutes after being chewed out and hung up on by an angry patient. So thank you for that.

    Medical marijuana, role of the nurse, professional organization

    klone replied to hotflashion's topic in Patient Medications

    A very poorly written article. First, we do not take an oath to "do no harm" (that's the Hippocratic Oath). Secondly, she means "complement" not "compliment". That's just in the snippet you quoted, I...

    klone replied to ivyleaf's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I will cut and paste what I wrote to you in a different thread where you asked the same thing: Pretty much all RN-BSN programs will have some type of clinical/practicum component in community health....

    plagiarism??

    klone replied to wolf9653's topic in General Nursing

    It's very common, in antepartum where patients are often on the unit for weeks/months, for the residents to a C&P of previous days' notes and just change pertinent info (such as gestational age,...

    Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

    klone replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi there. I just finished the MSN program so I will try to answer your questions. Keep in mind that I did the MSN in Leadership, so I do not know if the Education track is different. The capstone is...

    Anyone Who Says They Don't is Lying: Medication Error

    klone replied to BonnieSc's topic in Patient Medications

    Right documentation could also refer to the written order, yes? Twice in my clinic I can think of med errors made because an RN or MA took a verbal order from the provider to administer a med, rather...

    I want them to keep me. What can I do to be the best Ob nurse I can be?

    klone replied to Bellatrix.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    Always show up for your scheduled shifts. Don't call off or ask people to take your shifts. Sign up for extra shifts if they need someone. Always be 10 minutes early for your shifts. Be a team player...

    I started college at 20, with no real sense of what I wanted to do/be. Then I met my future husband and dropped out. I worked several years for the county government in property taxes, then quit my...

    Nurses and their pens

    I don't know the brand, but it has to be 0.7. I'm like Goldilocks that way. I can't believe some of you chart with a 1.2! That would be like using a

    Perinatal Bereavement?

    klone replied to Rinehajb's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with Soldiernurse and want to add, you need to be very careful that it needs to be about the patient, not the nurse. Sometimes being able to identify with a patient's circumstances in such a...
