    Hippa Violation

    TazziRN replied to skv38866's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that our local nursing schools do is insist that whatever info is copied from charts by students has the identifying info (name, etc.) blacked out or cut out. That would help alleviate some...

    I caught a manipulative family member in the act!

    TazziRN replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I read it as "few" problems, not little as in small. And if the daughter had an "I'm dead meat" look on her face when she was caught, I'm willing to bet it's safe to side with the OP. Otherwise...

    Family calls to the unit.

    TazziRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it's not against the law if you have the pt's permission or you are talking to the DPOA. Your facility may have a policy against it, but the law only states that you cannot give out info...

    Nurses...Miserable?

    TazziRN replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have been a nurse for nearly 20 years. I am not miserable. I have been unhappy occasionally, but I have never been a miserable nurse. I've been unhappy with the places I've been or the people I've...

    Disturbance During Lunch/Break

    TazziRN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Quite simply, I would smile politely without saying anything, and continue with what I was doing. By asking "What?" you are inviting the conversation. As to the one who was standing nearby, I would...

    Is this true of nursing?

    TazziRN replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's true, but it's not a "gross" job to those of us who love it. We see helping people wipe their butts as doing something the pt cannot do at the time, so we help......HOWEVER, it's only a...

    Question about some labs

    TazziRN replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on where the IV was. If the draw was in the AC but the IV is infusing in the hand, then you're probably right on. This is the reason why labs are never drawn proximal to the

    Family calls to the unit.

    TazziRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I remember when my brother was in the ICU we were asked to keep the phone calling limited to one person, who would act as the info center for the rest of the family, but we were told "Call anytime." I...

    Can't Sleep

    Shabby, if you're worried about addiction, talk with your doctor. Other than that we can't give medical advice. Best of luck. Nursing school is enough to give anyone

    Inhumane Supervisors/Managers-LONG

    TazziRN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not disagreeing that it's a stupid policy, and you're right: if people are wearing them without notes then you're being singled out. My point was, there is a way around
