  1. I tested positive for benzo and i do not take benzo help

    BabyLady replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    .....and what you are saying makes sense. I guess it is a cost-saving measure...if the dipstick doesn't test positive for anything (even a trace amount), then there is no point in doing further...

  2. Nurses with Tattoos and Piercings

    BabyLady replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with this statement...at all. CNN Headline news figured this out a few years ago when they started promoting a "hip" image in order to attract a younger audience. They ran ads with...

  3. Nurses with Tattoos and Piercings

    BabyLady replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    Keyword: Not visible. Thanks for making my point....because he would have a hard time getting a client to hire him or a jury to take him seriously otherwise. There is a REASON why he chooses to...

    BabyLady replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    I see..no

  5. I tested positive for benzo and i do not take benzo help

    BabyLady replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    Read post 24. What I find odd is that the collection person "allegedly" tested the sample immediately? I find that very, very strange...never heard of that. In my state, drug testing companies are...

  6. I tested positive for benzo and i do not take benzo help

    BabyLady replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    You don't always have a choice on this...it depends on where you live and the policy of the drug-testing company. In my state they CANNOT ask you up front what you have taken because of HIPAA...they...

  7. I tested positive for benzo and i do not take benzo help

    BabyLady replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    ...and tell me where did I post that she took anything

  8. I tested positive for benzo and i do not take benzo help

    BabyLady replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    Go back and read her post...she CLAIMS that the pharmacist told her that the antibiotic that she is taking causes a false-positive. The drug testing company has to report the positive benzo results...

  9. I tested positive for benzo and i do not take benzo help

    BabyLady replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    Anytime I have taken a drug test, the urine/blood has been labeled in front of me...I even sign the label so that it never leaves me sight when it is

  10. I tested positive for benzo and i do not take benzo help

    BabyLady replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are freaking out over nothing. First of all, drug testing is not in it's infancy..it is an exact science now and basic prescriptions, drug testing companies are WELL AWARE of what causes a...

  11. Nurses with Tattoos and Piercings

    BabyLady replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    Some of us look at tatoos and piercings differently. To me, if it was only about the person getting them for personal reasons, then there would never be a need to make them so visible to everyone that...

  12. Tell them I'm pregnant?

    BabyLady replied to RockRay's topic in General Nursing

    Your instinct is correct...wear bigger clothes to hide it because once you are in, they are required to make reasonable accomodations b/c pregnancy has to be treated like any other short-term...

  13. Ear Candling

    BabyLady replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I have used a very cheap and effective tool to clean my ears.. I use the back end of a new bobby pin..it scrapes all the wax out and you would be shocked at what it pull out. I do it about every...

  14. New Grads who have signed a contract for new grad program

    BabyLady replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    Have you checked your credit lately? I probably would. I graduated with a few that bailed on their contracts and ended up with judgments filed against

  15. Does HIPAA apply to famous people?

    BabyLady replied to blessedmomma247's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    To me, it is not a HIPAA violation as long as all parties agree. The media, only has access to information that is released to them..so the media has no obligation to not "violate" HIPAA. You can bet...

  16. Vertical Violence on the floor

    BabyLady replied to lobianm's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. As a nurse with under 2 years experience, I am having the problem of when I communicate infant condition to certain day shift nurses...instead of communicating my concerns to the physician,...

  17. Vertical Violence on the floor

    BabyLady replied to lobianm's topic in General Nursing

    This is how I would have charted it: 1845: Infusion pump found to malfunction. No replacement is available at this time. Spoke to John Doe with central equipment who is currently locating one to be...

  18. Vertical Violence on the floor

    BabyLady replied to lobianm's topic in General Nursing

    We put nurses names in the patient record all the time...if someone assists me with a procedure, or if I pass along information to the next shift, you can bet your bottom dollar I am going to document...

  19. School secretary administring meds???

    BabyLady replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Are you kidding me? I take it you have no children. If you have a diabetic kid that requires daily injections...you show me a job where you can leave anytime you want, to drive across town (which can...

  20. To write up or not???

    BabyLady replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    sorry, i completely disagree. that is what management is for and if someone cannot manage a unit, then they probaby shouldn't be running a charge shift or be in management. an aide is not directly...

  21. BSN Equivalent

    BabyLady replied to k.mims's topic in General Nursing

    Really? I have seen TONS of Master's Programs that accept students without a BSN. Look very, very carefully at the admission requirements..they read something like this: 1. Bachelor of Science 2. RN...

  22. I changed my last name right before graduation ;(

    BabyLady replied to sunlight036's topic in General Nursing

    A marriage license or divorce decree does not legally change your name....ever. It is supporting documentation that you have the right to change it, but the issuance, does nothing. It is not a legal...

  23. I changed my last name right before graduation ;(

    BabyLady replied to sunlight036's topic in General Nursing

    Whoever you talked to at the school is an idiot. First..they should have changed your name at the school level when you submitted your social security card, because that was putting them on notice...

  24. sharing personal info with patients

    BabyLady replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a smaller Southern town, so it is thought of differently here and in the NICU, we work with patients for a very long time, so we get to know the families well. More than once, I have been...

  25. To write up or not???

    BabyLady replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    The only disagreement that I had, is that you said anything AT ALL to the Med Tech. The Med Tech...is not a manager and as a human being, he/she has no control whatsoever of what someone tells...
