    Discrimination Allegations

    This person who has complained sounds miserable. Sorry you are having to deal with this. That said, I agree you should not ask for help according to these sort of characteristics any...
  2. Glad to hear that. I would feel dissatisfied at the thing things you mention above, but I'm way over that dissatisfaction being about my performance...or anything "me" really, unless I reasonably...

    Clinical Instructor

    That is literally not true. In any case, it is over and your daughter has handled it to her satisfaction. I hope the rest of her semester goes well for

    Is this a violation of HIPPA?

    That was me giving the benefit of the doubt. But there is some doubt here. To start with, making personal appointments/commitments with a 1 hour gap is wishful thinking and/or bad planning. And...
  5. No HIPAA violation. Doesn't sound inappropriate either. Just make sure you aren't so focused on being empathetic that you could ever appear to be near boundaries. You don't have to listen to...

    transitioning... finally.

    Various factors make question not straightforward to answer. For example, culture (of the respective facilities, the units, etc) plays a big role in how an experienced nurse will or won't be...

    Clinical Instructor

    Yes. This is not new information that you discovered. The hospital is indeed a HIPAA covered entity. Your HIPAA-related question clearly is not that straightforward as it doesn't involve the hospital...

    Clinical Instructor

    That was a terrible way for the instructor to behave. I'm sure your daughter was scared just about getting stuck and could have used support, not criticism. People think everything has to do with...

    Advice For a New Instructor Please!

    All the papers and the talking and lecturing should have been aimed at a lot bigger audience. Specifically it should have involved the ones crapping on, short-staffing and then constantly criticizing...

    Homemade NSS

    I'm glad I kept my mouth shut when I first read this. I did not expect this answer! Interesting.

    Is this a violation of HIPPA?

    Just leaving HIPAA out of it for a second, the actions of both the doctor/office and dentist/office were inappropriate. Yeah. What patients do is on them; if they have other things to do that...

    How do nurses work with headphones on?

    Agree with all of this. Another task I would do in days gone by when there used to be a little downtime is work on the never-ending educational compliance/competency things. But I will say, I...

    Changing male patient's brief

    Really don't need to worry about it too much. IMHO you did what was right here, you had a patient whom you weren't sure if they needed help due to just coming out of anesthesia, etc. So you...

    Changing male patient's brief

    That sounds like an inappropriate judgment. Just because a thing exists doesn't mean it applies to every scenario. I am trying not to harshly judge your coworker but if you told him/her the majority...
  15. I have low-key anxiety about messing up or forgetting or thinking I have renewed both RN and APRN licenses when really I haven't or just anything related to this. My state's website is no help; it's...

    nicu required to float to post partum

    No--especially if there's no justifiable why some of you need to do this and others don't. How did this come about? Is this a newer position for you, such as a situation where you are hired to a...

    Verbal orders

    You're likely not completely wrong on that, but probably oversimplifying. You say this is a small, underserved place. Things aren't going to be like they are at a tertiary facility. Depending on the...
  18. Where do people come up with this
  19. 1st thought: Oh yay, another acronym 2nd thought: Better find out what it stands for so I will be able to create optimal care plan 3rd thought:
  20. That's just as well because there is no need to. In fact I would try real hard not to hear or care to listen to what they're talking about anyway; it sounds unproductive and one of those "I need to...
  21. Oh, wait. More: - Since your first post, have you noticed more nerdy girls and/or fewer cheerleaders joining the profession? - Does your purpose here amount to the end of your user name +
  22. So many questions. LOL The two I'm most curious about: - What does being blonde have to do with it? - Are we supposed to naturally come up with a great deal of empathy for the...

    Change of Name.

    Well, since a 7 year old discussion is revived, I'll bite: NO. Just no. Count me out. Besides someone already beat you to it https://www.facebook.com/cathopathic.physicians/ Not...

    BON Reprimand For Being Late To Work 3x

    Yes, and just to clarify my first comment I didn't mean that the things documented were necessarily false but that it was made to look as if they were done by the OP at a time that they couldn't have...

    BON Reprimand For Being Late To Work 3x

    The way I read it is that it's possible the reprimand is not primarily (or maybe at all) about being late but about false
