    Breach of HIPAA to look up one's own medical records at work??

    Anoetos replied to sapphire18's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Where I work, you have to sign a form to access your own chart. This is given to every new hire. But yeah, if you don't sign it, you can get in trouble if you peek. Not sure why, I agree it seems...

    Does Obamacare 2014 allow only BSRN to sit for NCLEX-RN?

    Anoetos replied to Streamline2010's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We know there's a drive for having the BSN be the entry degree level for RNs. What I think we would like to see is something indicating that Obamacare, or indeed, any federal agency is implementing...

    Anoetos replied to Streamline2010's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Feacal Management Systems???

    Anoetos replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    But why are they not used in every case? Avenue of pathogen entry? Infection? Btw, we use the Bard DigniCare system as well. It's excellent. The new one even has a sample port, no more digging around...

    My unit is desperate for nurses

    Anoetos posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    And it's not because it's a terrible floor, it's a great floor with a helpful culture. We're a MICU step down, so we handle stable vents, heart drips, DKA, sepsis, etc. We run 1:3 patient to nurse...

    Anoetos replied to SterlingArcher's topic in MICU, SICU

    Things dying patients say

    Anoetos posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work on a MPCU. I had to RRT a DNR the other night (BP tanking, septic, not responding to fluid bolus, etc.). I RRT'd him at the attending's request, probably just to get a medical assessment on...
