    Documentation Question?

    Havin' A Party! replied to druse's topic in Legal

    Hello again, Druse. OK, let's presume that: 1) No negative consequences resulted to the client and no one from his camp is complaining about the surgery or the delay; 2) The documentation in question...

    Documentation Question?

    Havin' A Party! replied to druse's topic in Legal

    Again, to me, it still all depends on the specifics of the situation. Maybe a way to generalize arround the details would be to say that if the RN failed to take reasonably prudent actions based on...

    Incompetent acts witnessed.Legal responsibilities?

    Havin' A Party! replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    I like Tim's approach. If that goes nowhere, have you considered contacting your state BON? Will the other RNs that witnessed the incompetency

    health insurance???

    Havin' A Party! replied to grannypatches's topic in General Nursing

    My school also requires it. For several weeks, I investigated getting decent coverage for cheap. It's no where to be found... if you have any kind of pre-existing condition. The school policies are...

    question

    Havin' A Party! replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in Legal

    Furnishing the above, without having an attorney license, is unlawful. Similar thing regarding the provision of medical advice. This is basic nursing school info,

    hidden cameras in patient's rooms allowed?

    Havin' A Party! replied to Shell5's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the above. However what about the rights of hospital personnel? Do patients have the right to shoot video or stills of personnel in the hospital without first obtaining a release from...

    Scary Incident Happened to Me Yesterday

    Havin' A Party! replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    This is the way to go if possible. Can't the milieu be modified to allow for this? And, as another poster suggested, this could also be the method employed to secure

    hidden cameras in patient's rooms allowed?

    What if this went the same route of recorded conversations to service providers? "This call may be recorded or monitored for the purpose of improving customer

    If you can write tunes of the caliber of Shania's, you've got major talent. Shoot me one of those puppies. I'll go half-sies on the royalties with

    Faith Hill makes fun of nurses!

    Havin' A Party! replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely! That's a huge part of their success. Neither is a fantastic vocalist. (FWIW, I'd consider Linda Ronstadt a fab singer.) While Shania was considerably hotter after breaking through...

    Nurses with bipolar disorder?

    Havin' A Party! replied to lizzychica02's topic in Psychiatric

    One of my best friends in school is bipolar. She's been a tech on a psych floor for a number of years. Great personality! Even though she had a few academic probs last year (none illness related),...

    Havin' A Party! replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Didn't hear Faith's remark. But, out of context, it does sound like a dumb thing to say. Sad thing is that, because they have such huge audiences, celebs can sometimes propagate vast distortions to...

    LNC billing question

    Havin' A Party! replied to Loujo02's topic in Legal

    Not an LNC, but isn't it standard (or, at least, prudent) to negotiate a written consulting agreement before taking on a case? If so, then that should stipulate the terms of

    question

    Havin' A Party! replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in Legal

    Thanks for responding, Siri. That's more like what I had in mind. If I were an LNC, I wouldn't place artificial limits on the provision of my expertise. So long as the purpose of the consult was...

    question

    Havin' A Party! replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in Legal

    Hi, Siri. I realize we're in the Legal Nursing forum. I also understand that many, many LNCs work directly for / with attorneys. Also, that LNCs, like all nurses and all professionals, employ...

    Havin' A Party! replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in Legal

    Hi, Siri! Think you may be misinterpretting what I'm saying. There seem to be several assumptions in your responses as to my meaning. Perhaps I can clarify. I wholeheartedly agree that a nurse...

    question

    Havin' A Party! replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in Legal

    Hi, Monica! Can you elaborate on the question you posed earlier. By "consulting services," did you mean legal and / or medical advice? Thanks! That's not the way I took it. And I see nothing wrong...

    CALIFORNIA Criminal Record: Does expungement make a difference?

    Havin' A Party! replied to Ment2B's topic in Legal

    Not familiar with CA law. But the basic idea behind expungement, generally, is that it removes any record of the former accusation / conviction... it's as if it never happened... and, therefore, need...

    Can I be a good nurse, I hate being a CNA

    Havin' A Party! replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    CNA work can be physically grueling. I'll never understand why a facility thinks it's cost-effective to reduce tech hours, as I've seen done. To my way of thinking, just the opposite is the way to...
