    Might be a violation, maybe.

    xoemmylouox replied to AcuteHD's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This happens all of the time. I don't think about it twice. Shoot, I'm sure even I have spoken too loudly to someone who was too far away. I SERIOUSLY doubt anything would come of it even if it was...

    DAISY question

    xoemmylouox replied to Momma1RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would wear it until someone says something. Then perhaps ask why that hospital does not participate.

    Dr Office vs Med-Surg

    xoemmylouox replied to armadaLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you like the skill portion of your job, you will be bored in the office setting. Are you wanting to advance your education or are you happy with your current role? I only say this because typically...

    Saw something at work the other day that made me really happy

    xoemmylouox replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Too bad some parents still believe that "MY CHILD WOULD NEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR DO THAT. Said "child" comes in 6 months later with STD/STI and/or pregnancy. It's sad since...

    Apple Watch - Why I Love It!

    xoemmylouox replied to traumaRUs's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I doubted how useful this watch was going to be (silly me I should have known better since I LOVE my Iphone). I have heard from MANY people just how much they LOVE them. While I simply cannot fathom...

    Having trouble finding motivation to study

    xoemmylouox replied to mangotree88's topic in General Students

    I have my moments of this as well. I do think mine is more from exhaustion than anything else, but regardless - we all have our distractions. You are in the final year so don't get too far

    At a loss for words..

    xoemmylouox replied to xoemmylouox's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Sadly there is always a never ending trail of dysfunction when you have cases like this. As in this case the dysfunction carries on for generations, and obviously is carrying into the newest...

    My Nursing Instructor Is making clinical a nightmare

    xoemmylouox replied to Chole_0316's topic in General Students

    I hate to tell you, but many of us have had a clinical instructor like this. They are VERY particular and want things done a certain way. This is not always a bad thing. Many of us look back on those...

    Placed on administrative leave, reason unknown

    xoemmylouox replied to TurtleN84's topic in General Nursing

    I would be frustrated myself. I would take this as a signed that I need to start looking for employment

    At a loss for words..

    xoemmylouox replied to xoemmylouox's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As much as I would love to get another support system involved, it would do more harm than good. The family member who I want to regain custody would be the prime suspect and it would appear they are...

    HELP!

    xoemmylouox replied to kvergin's topic in General Nursing

    Some employers will train you. Working as a PCT in a hospital or an aide in a LTC or Assisted Living facility will help you master some of your patient care skills. It will also assist with learning...

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    xoemmylouox replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    I have never known a facility to pay for a nurse to have a nursing student. The only time there was a pay incentive is if they were training a new employee. My employer doesn't even given you a penny...

    Surviving nightshift plus breastfeeding

    xoemmylouox replied to JVoEDrn's topic in General Nursing

    We can typically do anything we want if we are determined enough. All you can do is try and adjust the arrangement as you go along. Hopefully for the most part you and hubby can work different days so...

    No Longer a Fan

    xoemmylouox replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    NY ER was a TV show.. One was made "famous" for being fired during the taping of the show. It was a decent show, but Dr. Oz is completely

    Did you marry a doctor?

    xoemmylouox replied to KayStanley's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nope. I married a stay at home Dad.. To me that's better than anything an MD could give me. I get the freedom to work and go to school, and I don't have to worry about who is taking care of our child....

    An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    xoemmylouox replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    This is one way to at least get voices heard.. If Cali can have ratios, why can't the rest of the states offer it as

    How to support a friend with cancer?

    xoemmylouox replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I know each person is different. I think being there to listen is key. Also if they are fatigued, stressed, alone - make some food and take it over. Easy to freeze meals in correct portion sizes work...

    Do not order scrubs from scrubland beyond.com

    xoemmylouox replied to SarahLizzyLVN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would be frustrated as well, since the OP paid the extra and expected the delivery. I would have not trusted an online company to deliver as expected, I'm just biased? Regardless the OP is in the...

    If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    xoemmylouox replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    Probably not. I would have went for SLP or PT. Those are seen more as money makers and not just another cost to employers. All of the ones I have worked with get the respect and flexibility that I...

    Brian Short News

    xoemmylouox replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't know what to say. Stories like these just leave me speechless and confused. No one can know what happened in the home that day, but we do know how much we appreciate what Brian did...

    Diabetic Alert Dog at work in Hospital

    xoemmylouox replied to Brookieakorsie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the question the OP asked was a stupid one. I know plenty of people who use service dogs due to poorly managed diabetes. Their service dog alerts MUCH faster than their pump does. Plus...

    Offer letter but no job???

    xoemmylouox replied to bbtt's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you got lucky and doged a mess.. I'd be thankful that you don't work for such a poorly ran facility and start searching for a job

    Relieved my daughter decided against nursing

    xoemmylouox replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think that we can guide our children, but I would never tell my daughter "You cannot do this" (unless of course it was camming..). For most kids telling them you forbid it only pushes them into...

    Accelerated BSN too many pre-reqs!

    xoemmylouox replied to poettech's topic in School, College Programs

    You can always call around to different online BSN programs like WGU and see what they require. I know some allow you to take classes as you go along, but most if not all are going to require a ton of...
