  4. HIPAA violation or just a bad decision?

    SA2009 replied to concerned2012's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  5. HIPAA violation or just a bad decision?

    SA2009 replied to concerned2012's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  6. Private School or Community College?! Please Help

    SA2009 replied to swtcaligurl's topic in General Students

    SA2009 replied to RockyMountainHigh's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  10. Colonoscopy: A patients perspective...

    SA2009 replied to cyndiangel13's topic in Nursing Humor

    How interesting, but I don't think it is that bad.... I have had ulcerative colitis/proctitis, so every colonoscopy has been rather uncomfortable, but it depends on the doc. One physician totally...

    SA2009 replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    SA2009 replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing
