  1. Hippa Law Pertains To ?????

    Speculating replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    That's touchy because she could be perceived as talking as a boss and not a nurse. If you worked for a furniture company your boss would'nt fall into a HIPAA violation. Secondly, why don't you just...

  3. Cooling Blanket For Neuro Patient

    Speculating replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree with you there CCU NRS. Shivering increases temp. You have to burn more calories to shiver thus you produce more heat driving the temperature

    Speculating replied to Medic2005's topic in General Nursing

    Are you talking about sleeping your way up the ladder? I don't think sleeping with a CNA will get you a job, but hey it's worth a

    Speculating replied to balr4life's topic in General Nursing

    Speculating replied to haa's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Haa, You sound a bit frustrated because no one is answering your thread, but you've made it nearly impossible for us to assist. Let me get this right. You seem to be seeking a good ICU in California,...

    Speculating replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    You have Bachelor's Degree in Business yet you've remained a CNA for 11 years, and now you want to become a nurse or a teacher. Sounds like you have a problem with commitment to

  13. Need A Rn Advise Really Quick Serious Issue

    Speculating replied to SISSY8's topic in General Nursing

    3rdShiftGuy's right by your explanation, but it is probably a little too early to lance it. You probably need the ER or a surgeon to open, drain, and pack it. Most PCP's will not touch it because they...

  14. Can a CNA take the ACLS???

    Speculating replied to a_clay's topic in General Nursing

    I think dphrn may be right when they say it maybe a bit early for this. It sounds like you have a ways to go in school yet. I would wait until my last semester in nursing school. You do not have to be...

  15. Survey: Do you think hospitals should require a uniform code for nurses?

    Speculating replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Sure sounds good to me when everybody has to do the same. The people in the financial office should wear green suits. The people in lab should dress all in red. The people in middle management should...

  16. Treatment of DVT's

    Speculating replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    Because it's hard to teach old dogs new tricks, and $$$ more for heparin protocols. They don't use it for the same reason it's been difficult for some to use the new ACLS cardiac drugs that have been...

  17. Future RN with LD in math

    Speculating replied to Louisepug's topic in General Nursing

    Relax your up way to late thinking about math. The easiest thing I've found so far is called a calculator. They let you use them in college now. You have to start listening to the people who tell you...

  18. Treatment of DVT's

    Speculating replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    There's nothing wrong with treating a DVT strictly with Lovenox. I've treated people off on on this way for well over a year. It just depends on the Dr. If you treat with heparin then you have to...

  20. Teaching Nursing as a Career

    You can work in the labs as a BSN. I would think it might get boring quickly

  21. Did I do the right thing?

    Speculating replied to AndiMac's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It appears to me that the family doesn't seem to be capable of taking care of the resident themselves otherwise she wouldn't need to be in a LTC facility. Although you're not necessarily going to...

    Speculating replied to kids's topic in General Nursing

    Very well put SmilingBluEyes. I think we all owe a great service to Magic Johnson. Magic actually doesn't get the credit he bravely earned when he boosted the virus to the forefront and enhanced the...
