  1. Negativity?

    hbscott replied to Dayray's topic in General Nursing

    Leaders, Managers and Supervisors are often held responsible and accountable for others if the workplace has become hostile and/or unsafe.

  2. Have you ever taken care of a celebrity?

  3. Negativity?

    hbscott replied to Dayray's topic in General Nursing

    Coping Strategies for Working with Negativists without Avoiding Real (and Relevant) Issues Recognize that an attitude problem exists. The first step is to recognize that someone is expressing...

  4. Nurses Who Kill

    hbscott posted a topic in General Nursing

    Did anybody see the Fox News special last night called "Nurses Who Kill?" If so what were your impressions. Was it "fair and balanced" or do you think nurses were unfairly portrayed? Thanks for your...

  5. Have you ever taken care of a celebrity?

    hbscott replied to BarbPick's topic in General Nursing

    You certainly have my respect. Some people will just never understand but we have a duty to educate others in these matters as best we can. Keep up the good work and thank you for your efforts. May...

  7. The Old Grey Mare

    hbscott replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Very glad to hear of your return. Welcome Back and Happy Holidays!

  8. Have you ever taken care of a celebrity?

    hbscott replied to BarbPick's topic in General Nursing

    I think our professional code of ethics comes into play here before our legal obligations. I don't see how the public trust is served by revealing names of our patients in public forums? When I...

  9. Very unusual day at work today.

    hbscott replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    So very glad to hear you had a good day. We all need encouragment from time to time in all our endeavors. I certainly appreciate those who take the time to help us when we need a lift. Hope your...

  10. Have you ever taken care of a celebrity?

    hbscott replied to BarbPick's topic in General Nursing

    Some celebrities and non-celebrities may not want it known that they were hospitalized for any reason. This is one of the cornerstones of the right to privacy. If a patient has authorized their name...

  11. Have you ever taken care of a celebrity?

    hbscott replied to BarbPick's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to the HIPAA concerns regarding patient confidentiality I would also think that our professional code of ethics would prevent us from identifying former patients in a forum such as this...

  12. How rude are surgeons?

    hbscott replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Is there any correlation to exposure to anesthesia gases and rudeness? Just kidding. Having worked in the operating room for several years (surgical technician) I just got used to it when some "jerk"...

  13. Happy Holidays

  14. Rush Limbaugh VS Hippa regulations

    hbscott replied to BarbPick's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but as reported by a Judge on Fox News who said he has no doubt that people in government privy to his "private" medical records will no doubt leak to the press any salacious content found there....

  15. Maryland Lottery Commercial

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't mean to "stomp" SmilingBluEyes (if that is your impression) but as I described in the initial review of the commercial it certainly was not a positive portrayal of a nurse (male or female). I...

  16. Maryland Lottery Commercial

    hbscott posted a topic in General Nursing

    As I was getting ready for work this morning I noticed a commercial for the Maryland lottery. In this commercial two persons, one Caucasian male identified as a registered nurse and one African...

  17. Maryland Lottery Commercial

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree. The influence of mass media is enormous (as evidenced by the billions of dollars spent on advertising). Nursing image and influence has been shaped by such forces and if we...

  18. Maryland Lottery Commercial

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Well said, Gwenith. Nurses sometimes beat up on each other (I am guilty of it as well) because of our frustration with certain system and societal issues that can get the best of us (certainly me)....

  19. Maryland Lottery Commercial

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Thank You CCU NRS for your prompt action on this issue. I have written a formal letter to the Maryland State Lottery Association (I find this a little more effective than e-mail) but I have also...

  20. Maryland Lottery Commercial

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Well Darling, I suspect you know in your gut that I am an activist and the proverbial ball started rolling yesterday morning when I saw the commercial for the first time. Of course these things take...

  21. Rush Limbaugh VS Hippa regulations

    hbscott replied to BarbPick's topic in General Nursing

    I believe Florida Law has a statute for "Doctor Shopping" and if you have a court ordered subpoena I don't think HIPPA protects you from having your medical records seized by law enforcement.

  22. Nursing in Google News

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry about that folks. The "news cycle" moves real quick I guess and "extra real quick" on Google.

  23. Nursing in Google News

    hbscott posted a topic in General Nursing

    It seems that nursing was a popular subject in the Google News Section today. See link below:...

  24. Maryland Lottery Commercial

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I thought initially on reading this post. NOT that it was a slight against the nurse. guess I would need to see it myself to know what it is supposed to mean.... Okay, but I don't see...

  25. Maryland Lottery Commercial

    hbscott replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the independent confirmation. The commercial caught me by surprise in my morning routine so I didn't get a chance to study it in detail - but I know the impression it left me with. Very...
