  1. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    WalldancerNIT posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Hello all, Does anyone know what the law is for holding underage (17yo) volunteers responsible for HIPAA when they are working with PHI? Our IT has some concerns and I'd like to see the guidance on...

  2. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Nope. We are a community health clinic. We have networks we work with, but we are our own entity, which started in pop-up tents 30 years

  3. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What is your concern with doing BP checks and basic scrubbing? She's 2 months away from 18 and will have the same liability as any adult. I can't imagine anything changing too much with her maturity...

  4. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Great question. I have in the past and get lost in a rabbit hole of a phone tree. Once I did speak with someone and all she said was, "I don't know", not, "I'll find out". Maybe it's improved since...

  5. HIPAA and Minor Volunteers

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    She approached us, we don't have a designated program, per say. Again, we are very rural (located in a field, essentially, 40 minutes from the nearest hospital). We all wear many hats and have to...

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    We are a small, very rural, primary care clinic. We have a local vocational school that trains CNAs and MAs. Some start classes in high school, which has clinical training as part of the program, so...

  7. ASN - can I get a job as a school nurse?

    WalldancerNIT posted a topic in School

    Next year, the school nurse at a small rural school near me will be retiring. I have already let them know last year my intent to apply and they were very excited about it. They asked me to volunteer...

  8. Feedback on San Juan College nursing program?

    WalldancerNIT posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone gone through San Juan College's nursing program? What did you think of it? I am trying to decide between this program and Pueblo Community College's (Durango, CO) for the fall.

  9. Elevated PT, but decreased INR?

    WalldancerNIT posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I had a pt. whose PT wa 12.6, but INR was 1.28 (just started warfarin). I am just a student RN, so I must be confused about how this works. Can one be increased while the other is decreased?...

  10. Elevated PT, but decreased INR?

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhh...ok. I see what happened. I wrote down his therapeutic range instead of the normal range. Sorry - still getting the hang of this. Thanks

  11. Elevated PT, but decreased INR?

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in General Nursing

    Leslie - the norms for this pt. are PT 9.6-11.8 and INR is

  12. Elevated PT, but decreased INR?

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in General Nursing

    That's my confusion. Why is the PT above normal, but the INR is below 2.0? (Pt. is >60yo and 2d. post surgery) Although...it's been hard to get a straight answer about PT/INR levels in school....

    WalldancerNIT replied to tanner98's topic in Colorado Nursing

    In AZ, there is the Banner Nurse Fellows program through the Maricopa Community College system. It is very competetive, but if accepted, they waive your tuition in exchange for a 3-year commitment to...

    WalldancerNIT posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am starting the CNA program at RSAA tomorrow. They mentioned that we should bring ID, birth certificate and CPR cert, but I completely forgot to ask about what to wear and what to expect for lunch....

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for asking! :) I LOVE it. It's mostly review for me as I've been through all of the nursing pre-reqs, but the instructors are fabulous and they take their Boards pass rate (highest in the...

  16. Gross me out!

    WalldancerNIT posted a topic in General Students

    I know this sounds crazy and morbid, but I would really like to be grossed out with tales of nursing downsides. Let me explain... I am really excited to be a nurse. I still have a year of pre-reqs...

  17. Gross me out!

    WalldancerNIT replied to WalldancerNIT's topic in General Students

    Wow - that is all really, really disgusting. Thanks :) I have a pretty unnatural fear of something that would probably come up in nursing stories, and has. I'm hoping if I hear and picutre enough of...

    WalldancerNIT replied to sarahmosquera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    sarah- You might want to check with your school. In AZ, we were just informed that they may be switching to the TEAS. When I spoke with an advisor, she told me it was because ERI (who created the NET)...

    WalldancerNIT replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ok ladies and gents. I just spoke with someone in the nursing department and she told me that, although it is not official, they will most likely be changing to the TEAS. Apparently, the company that...
