  1. Question about Frontier school and accreditation

    BabyLady replied to ssalulu's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I cannot answer your question, however, something else you need to think about...it is very, very difficult to transfer from one ADN program to another. In fact, most won't accept nursing credits...

  2. does anyone out there copy charts to save time?

    BabyLady replied to lordgregoryrn's topic in General Nursing

    So what would have appeared to be falsified? I would guess that HAND written charting would be easier to falsify than copies that are signed. If you really wanted to falsify something, all you have to...

  3. does anyone out there copy charts to save time?

    BabyLady replied to lordgregoryrn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing, but I would wager she doesn't have a case. IF you were going to write the EXACT same thing on each patient anyway? I see no difference between that and protocols that get printed off a...

  4. Appropriate Patient for Midwife?

    BabyLady replied to ChristineMP's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Our facility never does an amnio check for lung maturity...ever. We give Mom steriod injections x2 if she even remotely shows a sign that she may deliver early. In fact, an amnio at this point...

  5. New grad applicant - being asked for too much info!

    BabyLady replied to new_grad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    None of this seems out of the ordinary. However, if it helps you any, in the last 10 years of jobs, I THINK I may have had one of my references called

  6. How do I respond to a poorly written request to be a nursing student?

    BabyLady replied to BrentRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with every point you are making...100%. I have always made it a point to write as well as I can and I am truly embarrassed, when spell check and my own eyes missed a typo that I end up...

  7. How do you respectfully tell a teacher ENOUGH ALREADY!

    BabyLady replied to tictac's topic in School

    I would ask the principal if you can send an e-mail or letter to the teachers letting them know reasons NOT to send them or ask if you can speak to them at the next meeting. Present it from the...

  8. How do I respond to a poorly written request to be a nursing student?

    BabyLady replied to BrentRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a feeling that the answer to your question will be answered when you receive her transcripts. Also, if I were to guess, it looks like she probably sent that e-mail from her

  9. pregnant and on a clear liquid diet

    BabyLady replied to VANursetobe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Uh..I'm a NICU nurse. 37 weekers in my facility, don't even come up to the NICU unless they are having major issues or are drug addicted and we send many 34 and 35 weekers HOME. So I disagree...that...

  10. pregnant and on a clear liquid diet

    BabyLady replied to VANursetobe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I was an intern, would you believe there was a woman that came into the OB, with "preterm" labor..she was 37 weeks along and they administered IV meds in order to stop her labor. I can't remember...

  11. Dismissed from the Nursing Program...what to do now?

    BabyLady replied to Resp2's topic in General Students

    All I can advise you, is to look. However, I will give you some advice: The school has to make reasonable accomodations for a disability to allow you to succeed, but they have to know about any...

  12. Is there a nurse on the plane?

    BabyLady replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    This depends on where you live. There is a massive, legal difference between compensation after-the-fact and compensation before-the-fact. Before-the-fact is when you agree to be someone's...

  13. Is there a nurse on the plane?

    BabyLady replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    A true, life or death emergency doesn't matter. Airlines are Federally, not state regulated. Therefore, it is the Federal gov't that would have to bring you up on charges, if warranted. However, I...

  14. pregnant and on a clear liquid diet

    BabyLady replied to VANursetobe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The OP is not asking for medical advice, the OP is asking for general nutritional information that can be found on any internet resource. Here is the bottom line: Your friend is being childish and if...

  15. Calling a Patient 'Sugar': Abuse?

    BabyLady replied to Trancelation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you work in the south, this is the norm...but only after you build a rapport. To do it up front is

  16. Drug seekers

    BabyLady replied to Athena904's topic in General Nursing

    Most drug seekers don't pay for their care now. So no, it won't make any difference. They get admitted using fake names, etc. You cannot legally turn away someone in an acute need for medical care...

  17. Mixing Breast Milk with Formula

    BabyLady replied to Love_2_Learn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    ...we are in agreement...this is exactly how I feed as well. We only mix it in the syringe because we can measure that

  18. Mixing Breast Milk with Formula

    BabyLady replied to Love_2_Learn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This is what our policy is...and it is a very strict policy that we religiously follow: 1. We can mix formula and breast milk together, but only if you get the amount exact and feed it through a...

  19. Using alcohol to clean newborns' umbilical cord stumps?

    BabyLady replied to BellsRNBSN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Our hospital had a documented case of an infant death that was directly traced back to an umbilical cord infection from improper cord care. Pretty much closed the case for me. ONE is too many. The...

  20. Personal info was shared -HIPPA violation?

    BabyLady replied to Quienes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes, it is a clear HIIPAA violation of the most classic type. The RN was not authorized to give out your father's information, period. If she is doing it to him she is probably doing it with other...

  21. MD BON requesting court records

    BabyLady replied to rnjessie's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    i am not giving legal advice, but i am going to give general advice. folks, many people on here do not understand the purpose and concept of a legal expungement. courts grant legal expungements to...

  22. I am a new grad and got a job as ALF director position!

    BabyLady replied to eve5483's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am a newer nurse as well, however, grew up in a large medical family. While I work with people with 20+ years that I wouldn't put in charge of taking care of a guppy, when it comes to things I like...

  23. MA working beyond scope of practice

    BabyLady replied to Catedi's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The person playing Russian Roulette, is not your friend, it is her employers. She has never claimed to be a nurse nor presenting herself as a nurse, so the BON could not even have her charged with...

  24. Was this a HIPAA violation?

    BabyLady replied to abbaking's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I have another theory...the reason we have so much of it in the USA is we have this whole generation of people that don't discipline their children and people that are not qualified to make the...

  25. Was this a HIPAA violation?

    BabyLady replied to abbaking's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    High school counselors are not bound by HIPAA because they are not typically not licensed counselors, as in a therapist you might see. Licensed therapists ARE bound by HIPAA. However, legally, the...
