  1. Clinical Instructor Didn't Show Up

    SJSU_Mami replied to geekymomma's topic in General Students

    I would've just stayed and kept pre-rounding for my shift. We aren't required to have our instructor there for tasks if we do them in the presence of this nurse. If the nurse doesn't have time to...

  2. Why a Philadelphia hospital gave in to a racist demand?

    SJSU_Mami replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Patients who have racial preferences for healthcare staff better stay out of California.. they'll have a very hard time finding a same-race staff.. We're so diverse out here and I'm glad I don't have...

  8. HIPAA/HIPPA infraction or not ?!

    SJSU_Mami replied to dachweiler's topic in General Nursing

    That really sucks since all you were typing was a list of friends, but I think it violates hippa because it had patients' names. Do you know who told the regional director? All the information was...

  9. How Rude!!!

    SJSU_Mami replied to stella123 rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would have taken that personally. Who is he to say what nurses do anyway? Has he ever been in the hospital for a long time to see the variety of work is done? We don't all become nurses just...

    SJSU_Mami replied to wonderbee's topic in General Students

    I dont know if its the same in all areas, but where I live in California, being a full time student is grounds enough to excuse you. They tell you to leave a voice mail stating your reason, and then...

    SJSU_Mami replied to lulu4's topic in General Nursing
