  4. Lost job over HIPAA violation, what is employment potential?

    koi310 replied to RockyMountainHigh's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't think it matters if no legal action was taken by the police, facility or BON. If there is no paper trail, then her reason for quitting becomes hearsay--her word against someone else's. She...

  5. Nursing Assistant drawing up and giving injections?

    koi310 replied to OBNurseWannabe's topic in General Nursing

  10. STNA's ... do you have to clean up a lot of poo-poo?

    koi310 replied to helikias's topic in General Nursing

    Based on your post, I'd say you are NOT meant for health care--RN or even MD. Sick people and body fluids kind of go together, you know. Btw, it's 'BM', not

  11. Medical Issues-Would Like Your Experiences-Not Advice

    koi310 replied to Blindsided's topic in General Nursing

  17. Met with supervisor today....

    koi310 replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    I you REALLY, TRULY, want to be a nurse, and your husband is as supportive as you say he is, then you should stay in California. You might not get the same chance again. Also, once in a nursing...

  24. Please don't expect CNAs to

    koi310 replied to Lendytaylor10's topic in General Nursing

    Lift policies (and enforcement) really depend on the facility/unit as does the availability of lifts. There are private (ie. no medicare/medicaid) ARCH homes that can double as SNFs/hospice, even...
