    Getting rid of my nursing library at home

    xoemmylouox replied to ronchelednik's topic in General Nursing

    xoemmylouox replied to willow44's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I believe the OP is already at work when she is mandated. I'm sorry, but unless they hire more staff or you find another job it sounds like you're stuck. You can always bring up the point that you...

    Posting Licensed Number in social media

    xoemmylouox replied to nomad29's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would not. I try to keep information like that as private as I can. Sure it is easy to find, but I doubt most people in or out of healthcare know how easy it is to find. I don't post it on my resume...

    xoemmylouox replied to Hotfornursing's topic in Infectious Disease
