DESTROY THE STUFF? Are YOU licensed? We have a responsibility under nursing laws to report and I have ALWAYS done things by the book. THE PROOF is in the police hands right now. What if that was YOUR name and health information on those sheets?

That's just it....is it enough? Would you like you relatives information out in the public and no one held accountable for it? That's what I thought. For the record, as far as the medications are concerned, ISNAP has contacted me and we are going to the attorney generals office. I'm wanting to know who I contacted for the HIPPA violation.

I came across SEVERAL sheets of paper containing patient names while I was packing my ex's (who is a LPN) stuff. In addition, I also found a lot of medications (non-narcotics) and called the police who confiscated all of this including the patient names. I talked to my ex (who of course is playing dumb) and he said that the place he is working at isn't going to press charges and is in the process of trying to work for the same company somewhere else. I am a RN and I don't work for his company, a nursing home that I'm sure will try to sweep it under the rug because they liked him so well. However, who do I report all of this to besides the police? I contacted ISNAP and they mentioned we will get the Attorney General involved. What about the HIPPA violation? It is a violation to have patient names outside a healthcare facility in which it came from correct? I don't know what to do...I want to take the right steps! Please help!

If you are having difficulty at a 200 level, with all due respect, the 300 level will be almost impossible. The junior year is THE most difficult with the program. I feel that the best way to get through a difficult clinical day or semester is to prove yourself to the instructor. Be cautious though. Good luck.

I'm finishing my last 3 courses this fall. All clinical instructors/lecturers have their favorites to kick out. This program is sooooo not fair on many levels. People who have graduated have said time and time again they wish they would have taken BSU to the accreditation board for student violations, however I think everyone just wants to get through it and be as far away from "Dillard's program" as quickly as possible. I realize all nursing programs have their faults...BSU is no exception! Good Luck.
