    Was offered a position in a very strange way...need some advise!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to PchezRN's topic in General Nursing

    O don't think it's that weird (but I've never worked in a Private practice). He is not part of a big system, so im assuming he can hire someone in whatever way he pleases (your submission on monster...

    Was this a HIPAA violation?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to abbaking's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Diva: love your post!! I'm sure my mom (as a grandmother) probably feels the same way. I can definitely relate, regarding the discipline issue. My daughter was tested (had the screening tool filled...

    Is this professional?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    That thought hadn't even crossed my mind until now. I'm surprised a patient hasn't said anything. As an instructor, we are constantly revising our rules and policies for clinical attire and testing...

    Is this professional?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's odd and unsanitary. She stated thru are always on her head (not over her eyes), so it sounds like she does not need them while working. While it really isn't the OP's "business", I think...

    GUM! Can you chew it on shift?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Agreed. don't need any back up, I'm good. Didn't check the post dates (for some reason it came up as an active thread on my page). Trust me I didn't go looking for a gum chewing thread:D, but it was...

    It's interesting that FERPA has been around for 30+ years, and HIPAA less than

    GUM! Can you chew it on shift?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to SummitRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, I spelled your name wrong, sorry. I didn't happen to notice your age. I'm sure it's on your profile, but I didn't feeling getting out of the 'reply' page midpost to check. I guess I didn't follow...

    I don't know Alta (although I bet her mom and my mom would get along great;) ), but here's 2 things to consider: A) Alta was raised by her mom, and when you're a kid, you are very influenced by your...

    Was this a HIPAA violation?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to abbaking's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    So are you saying the counselor diagnosed you in this letter of reference? That would bother me, I won't lie. Now, assuming that there was a documented diagnosis, and this was after 2003, then you...

    Stuudents kicked out of nursing program in NY state

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to woodyswifey4evaa's topic in New York Nursing

    And can anyone guess why this is going on?? Hint: it's not just to 'make the school look good'. Let's see who can figure it

    Nurses at Disney

    I would imagine they see their fair share of chronic kids (because of Make A Wish). I have heard the local peds ERs get a lot of

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'll pass. We were just there a few weeks ago. It is a RULE that all 'cast members' be nice all the time!!! I don't think I could handle

    why do teachers turn a blind eye to cheating??

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to catz123's topic in General Nursing

    Using the same exams is a blessing and a curse. Those schools (like mine) who recycle questions do it to ensure validity and reliability (if you go to school for nursing ed, you learn all this). If a...

    why do teachers turn a blind eye to cheating??

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to catz123's topic in General Nursing

    Did I miss the part of the story that states that the faculty knows about it, and is doing nothing? Maybe I did. If I did not miss it, then read on... I can only speak for myself (and the...

    Is it legal to rewrite nursing notes 3 months later?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to sblanchard1983's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, let's lay off on what should she have done, she gets it. I think the word "omit" is what seems awkward. To write omit suggests (IMO) that you want the word(s) out of there. The word "error"...

    Acceptable Mens Hair Styles

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to stayhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I think the cleanliness factor is the most important thing. All hair is different; my daughters hair looks nasty if she doesn't wash it daily (and this is a constant battle at age 11). Some hair...

    Keep failing checkoffs

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    When you are practicing, actually PRACTICE: dint just go through the motions. Don't watch others do it (I know students think watching helps; IMO doing it is the key). Repitition is crucial; thru say...

    NCLEX ran out of time...please tell me !!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to erik187's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The OP stated it was PN. maybe PN has a 5 hr cut off?? Based on the many students/grads I know that sat for NCLEX, running out if time is not usually a good thing. The computer tries to give you...

    Take LPN board halfway through nursing school?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to rduterte's topic in General Students

    I may be wrong, but my guess is no in NJ. NY used to allow it, but no longer

    5 mo pregnant and still looking for a job

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to RI Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly it's not worth their while to take you on. Even if all goes 100% perfect with your pregnancy, chances are you will not work till the end, you'll want some time off (doc probably will tell you...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to wannabmidwife's topic in General Students

    The bad news is, it does not get easier. The good news is, there is potential for YOU to do better. I was a 78er in fundamentals, and slowly picked it up little by little (never made an A, but I made...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nankie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ridiculous!! Who the he'll cares that she had IVF? besides, being 47 with twins (assuming they are young) kinda raises a red flag (at least in my book). She's obviously hasn't come to terms with it,...

    Hmmmmm Why Do Nursing Students Fail?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to yel550i's topic in General Students

    Soooo true. As an instructor, you can just feel the negativity brewing from certain sections of the room. It is so unattractive. What I see as a major contributor is this feeling of "Just being there"...
