This is a clear cut HIPAA Violation. If you reported her to the HIPAA officer you would totally be within your right to do so. If you want to be nice you could speak to her and let her know of your concerns. If she seems sorry and admits to making...

I see your point, but maybe we should be concerned with something that has the potential for the loss of our license. If you ever get falsely accused it would be very benifical to know your rights and what actions you can take to defend yourself. T...

Good reply. I can see form your response that we need to get these answers. Thanks

Good point! Thanks

Thanks for your reply. You have given me new insight about this. It being so new it is probably open to a lot of interpretations and misinterpretations. I am sure over time a lot of my concerns will disappear as these gray areas will become more c...

Great input! I will go check out their site. Thank you!

Sorry if I sound rude. Just trying to find answers to the questions I originally posted. Do you have any comments or answers to these questions? I would really appreciate them. Thanks

Thanks for your post. I am doing research - have not found much yet. I will post if I find anything.

Sorry if you think I am rude. How would you prove that "if they say that you violated HIPPA but you suspect they really fired you because you are disabled, over forty, a male/female, a whistleblower in some states or other protected class" when you ...

Beign fired for any reason they like is one thing, using HIPAA as an excuse, which is what has happened in this case, can result in the loss of your license and thus your career!!! There is a BIG difference!

I find your response scarry. Every nurse should understand HIPAA!!!!! Your career depends on it!!!!!! My understanding is that hospitals require that you sign a document stating that you have read and understand HIPAA requirements. Are you a nurs...

I am curious by your response. What do your first two questions have to do with my post? But, I will answer them. No, I have not been accused of a violation. If you really read my original post you would know that. No, this is not a school ass...

Thanks for your response but please try to focus on the subject at hand, and that is - using HIPAA rules to bypass employment laws and protections. I am very concerned about this!!! If you can read my original post and answer my questions I would r...

Acctually I am refering to employers using HIPAA rules to bypass employment laws and protections. Please reread my original post and if you can try to answer my questions. I am very concerned about this. Does this occur? Can it? Thanks

Oh, Thanks

Looks like a good program. Fully accredited and does not require a statistics class.:) If anyone knows anything about this program - post a msg. My main worry is that it is not accepted by some states - like the Excelsior BSN. Thanks.

Do most RN to BSN programs have a clinical riquirement? For Excelsior LPN to ADN of course but where your already an RN I would think there would not be a lot of clinicals.

Thanks for the info - I will call them. Post as you find out more. Thanks again.

Thank you for your replies, they really help!

Thanks for the post. I have not ordered their syllabus, have you? Happy to hear they are "user friendly"! I am finishing my ADN this year and would like to get the BSN ASAP while working full time - seems daunting - but with the right RN-BSN progr...

LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, UT just hired 6 ADN Excelsior Grads.

Anyone know of an "easy" online stats course? Need it for BSN. Thanks.

Anyone know anything about FASTAFF? Any information will be greatly appreciated! --Thanks

It looks like a great program. I do not know if I will apply since, acording to the web site. only 95 out of 5000 applicants are approved. Souns like the odds are against ya. Might be eaiser to just talk to your local hospital and get a loan based...

Thanks for the info. Soonstudent - sounds great!
