  1. Mandatory Reporting Question

    BabyLady posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am sure most facilities have a Hospital Social Worker that you send reports to when warranted that may affect the safety/environment of infants after discharge or while they are still in the...

  2. Why no NICU?

    BabyLady replied to goldens1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The NICU is not going to give you the critical care experience you need as a CRNA...our patient population is highly specialized, the number of medications we use is somewhat narrow. I have co-workers...

  3. CRNA Threat

    BabyLady replied to samirish's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    ....LOL...and you could be

  4. CRNA Threat

    BabyLady replied to samirish's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would kind of find it hard to believe that an AA is similar to a PA. A PA has precriptive authority and school is not exactly short nor non-intensive. Last I checked an AA could only earn about $30K...

  5. HIPPA Violation?

    BabyLady replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    A HIPAA violation is failure to maintain privacy with regards to records and some level of judgement needs to be exercised. My doctors office will CALL ME with test results...because when I was...

  6. Mandatory Reporting Question

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    There isn't a pressing concern at this time...just here and there since I have been employed. Our social worker, sometimes, posts a note in the chart to let you know that DCS is involved...but not...

  7. mints

    BabyLady replied to Flare's topic in School

    Nope, the reason I was given was that the school secretary was not a "trained medical professional" and that the "wrong medication might possibly be given" to a student" triggering an allergy/etc to...

  8. Could the client sue me for this?

    BabyLady replied to Melandru's topic in General Nursing

    Technically, it is never considered slander if what you are saying is true..ever, in any context. Slander is saying something about someone that has no truth. Libel is WRITING something about someone...

  9. Could the client sue me for this?

    BabyLady replied to Melandru's topic in General Nursing

    1. The physician, needed to know. 2. The physical therapist..did NOT need to know. 3. The whole nursing team did NOT need to know. 4. The nurse who you are DIRECTLY giving report to, needs to...

  10. Mandatory Reporting Question

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    See, our hospital policy dicates that we have to go through our social worker..which is why I am asking the question. It is to prevent, let's say, 15 nurses calling DCS that worked with the same...

  11. CRNA Threat

    BabyLady replied to samirish's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm sorry, if the CRNA wants complete autonomy, then he/she needs to go to medical school for upteen years and become an

  12. Ironing your Scrubs

    BabyLady replied to medsurgtrenchesRN's topic in General Students

    Step 1 in elevating yourself in a professional position is looking like a professional. Ironing scrubs is step 1 to that goal. I personally, can look down the hall and tell you who irons their scrubs...

  13. mints

    BabyLady replied to Flare's topic in School

    If I didn't see the kid coughing his head off...there would be no candy. Once you send a few kids back, they will stop sending them. This is a very sensitive subject for me because my own child is in...

  14. mints

    BabyLady replied to Flare's topic in School

    Children aged 5 and older shouldn't have issues with choking on hard candy anymore than food that they get in the cafeteria. Keep in mind, they sometimes have baloons in school (major health hazard...

  15. Do you bag your bodies naked?

    BabyLady replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the NICU and the infant is bathed and dressed as appropriate as we can get it (which can be difficult, due to size) before being sent to the nursing home. I would have told whoever, where to...

  16. A Violation of Hipaa?

    BabyLady replied to subliminalvermilion's topic in General Nursing

    Ok..I think alot of people are blowing this out of porportion. HIPAA is not rocket science and folks should not make it out to be more than what it is nor flip out uncessarily. 1. The OP works at the...

  17. HIPPA Violation?

    BabyLady replied to RNAchot83's topic in General Nursing

    I have a different question.. Why was someone giving results on a test to someone that no one had ever examined in the practice before? Not something I would

  18. L&D pt assignments

    BabyLady replied to salinarn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In our unit we float to L&D and we only do fully stabalized postpartum patients or work the

  19. To unionize or not...

    BabyLady replied to TravelinCEN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    :yeah::yeah: If you belong to a union, you HAVE to be an active member. You have to go to meetings, you have to make sure you know what is going on and be an active participant. Damand action from...

  20. Mandatory Reporting Question

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    No..not yet...there has just been some isolated incidents that I question on how they were handed...for obvious reasons, would be afraid to post an example. I just didn't know if anyone here had ever...

  21. To unionize or not...

    BabyLady replied to TravelinCEN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The unions are who votes in their high offices...and people forget that. The auto-workers union is a good example of where they ruined their own profession...they got so many benefits that it priced...

  22. To unionize or not...

    BabyLady replied to TravelinCEN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I have stated before...and I will state again. The reason unions are not widespread in nursing, where our benefits are being chipped away every year, is because it is a female dominated profession. A...

  23. NM hanged up on me:(

    BabyLady replied to Blackbear13's topic in General Nursing

    This is why you never make a phone call to see about a job. You apply, follow with a written application, etc. I would not call back...in hopes that she may not remember

  24. Could the client sue me for this?

    BabyLady replied to Melandru's topic in General Nursing

    Slander is saying something about someone that wasn't true...most people do not realize that. If you told the PT and did not document the conversation in the chart, then I could understand why the...

  25. Why do OTC protein test strips not exist?

    BabyLady replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    ...then I probably wouldn't have posted the
