  1. HIPAA question...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Jolie, I appreciate your contributions, and understand your point. The sticky wicket for me, is that unless my colleague ran the man's name in a google search, the information just isn't readily...

  2. HIPAA question...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Suesquatch, I think you speak true to both counts... I think I just wanted to know if this was a violation, or if my concerns were based in something other than fact, if that makes sense. I also...

  3. HIPAA question...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    His reaction, when I said something about HIPAA violations during the xray show and tell (without the instructor present), was "so what? It was my patient. What's the problem??" in a very defensive...

  4. HIPAA question...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Thanks, Jenn. Because I have personal negative feelings, I am not objective about this...which is why I'm asking for opinions. I appreciate yours! Best- Lovin'

  5. Made a huge error today...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Thanks, everyone. I think I've managed to get some perspective on this, and it no longer freaks me out. Rest easy that the lesson was learned, and will not be repeated...but as someone said, it's...

  6. Made a huge error today...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Thanks, everyone. It was really hard today. I got there, got patient hand off, took vitals, sat with my instructor for a bit while she explained the warning, signed the warning, and then got to work...

  7. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

    LovingLearning replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    I am a nursing student in a diverse population area. Most of my patients speak spanish. I don't. I'm trying to learn, but not having much success. I do my best to learn new words, and this weekend...

  8. Made a huge error today...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Jolie said: I think you're right...and I am enormously thankful for not being kicked out of the program. I think she was rather surprised, judging from the tone of her email response, that I had...

  9. Made a huge error today...

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I have said my prayers, both before and after. God knows... And yes, she's actually been human about this. She and I don't actually care for each other - she's as much as told me so - and she's been...

  10. Anyone else experiencing burnout??

    LovingLearning replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    'K, lemme see if I can explain (at least from my point of view). No. I never expected it to be easy. Matter of fact, I expected it to be hard. Hard, I can do. What I didn't expect was the...

  11. Anyone else experiencing burnout??

    LovingLearning replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    No, I can't say I'm burned out. I'm charred, ashy, and brittle...ready to blow away in the least little breeze. :rotfl: I have, in the next 12 days, three written finals, final clinical...

  12. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    LovingLearning replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Dude. Who gave you the right to go around telling fellow students that they look 'positive' for TB tests??? Especially since they were all declared negative at the reading. You really DON'T know...

  13. So confused/upset/hopeless. Current CNA student needing advice.

    LovingLearning replied to meghanlee's topic in General Nursing

    Heya, Meghanlee! Know what? I had the same concerns as you did. I'm a first semester NS, and was worried that I'd not be able to deal with things like adult depends/diaper changes, or vomiting...

  14. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    LovingLearning replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    ~You don't sleep; and when you do, you have nightmares about exploding heads with brains leaking out onto your desk. ~You learn the time the landlord puts on the sprinklers (3:45 am) by experience...

  15. Fought my way to an "A"!!

    LovingLearning replied to senecagirl's topic in General Students

    Well done. I remember being marked off for a care plan wherein I used a NANDA diagnosis that my clinical instructor said was not a real diagnosis. I brought the book with me to the next class,...

  16. What are you looking forward to doing most, when this semester is over

    LovingLearning replied to Natingale's topic in General Students

    Last exam for me is the 18th. I am leaving town with my elderly father on the 22, flying three hours, then meeting my elderly mom at the destination airport...going to a relative's house for 5 days,...

  17. Tyrant Nursing instructor

    LovingLearning replied to Goodyear's topic in General Students

    Bingo. I'm dealing with one like that right now...and it's hard. But you know what? In three weeks, I won't have to deal with that instructor anymore. I can't change her...I can only survive her....

  18. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    LovingLearning replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    Coming out of a D&C procedure, I apparently thought people were killing me...and took out a nurse fighting back. I had been crying from the pain while I was waking up, and was all stuffy nosed. I...

  19. Nursing student, and two deaths this week (very long, sorry...)

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, WickedRN...I'm doing my best, that's for sure. Hal, you're completely correct; there should've been earlier action. Being brand new, I wasn't sure what I could do, or how to do it...but I...

  20. Nursing student, and two deaths this week (very long, sorry...)

    LovingLearning posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, all. This is my first post (and not my last...), and I came here for help and understanding. I am at the county's free hospital, and I'm in my first semester of RN school. I have changed my...

  21. Nursing student, and two deaths this week (very long, sorry...)

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to update this thread... I had the opportunity to speak to the first semester proctor this week. She did not know what had happened, but listened carefully. When I asked in which semester...

  22. What is your graduation gift?

    LovingLearning posted a topic in General Students

    So, we were talking at study group about what we'll give ourselves for a graduation gift. I am thinking (seriously) about taking a cruise on a small ship to Alaska in the summer of 2010...a 7 day...

  23. Funny Student Bloopers

    LovingLearning replied to EvelynRN-BSN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm a student. Oh please do laugh at me when I've made a mistake and it's funny. 'Cause if you don't, then I worry that you have no sense of humor, and that you actually hate me, and that you think...

  24. What is your graduation gift?

    LovingLearning replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

  25. Had a Great Experience Today

    LovingLearning posted a topic in General Students

    Tuesday and Wednesday are our clinical days. I'm still very stressed at what happened last week, but decided that just going about my business of learning and being a student nurse was what I was...
