  10. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Makes one wonder who does phone triage. Or are you in a state that allows an LPN or MA to do this task? It is not allowed where I

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to NS885RN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Weeeelllll, don't get mad, but I saw a LOT of "I's" and "I'ms" in your post. If you speak like that in real life, I can see where they could be thinking what they seem to be. Try substituting "we"...

  19. HIPAA and the Undocumented

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nurseactivist's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  20. HIPAA and the Undocumented

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nurseactivist's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Who do you think should be making this decision? Are YOU trained to do so? I know I'm not. Again, you are trying to place the focus on a totally irrelevent (to your OP)

  21. HIPAA and the Undocumented

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to nurseactivist's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You keep on ignoring the facts of the article that YOU posted. She wasn't refused care based on her illegal act of being in this country. They didn't refuse to treat her because of an inability to...

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to clancaster0729's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The state may not have guidelines set in place, but I think a refresher course would not be a crazy idea. A LOT has changed in 7 years! How many times have you taken the

  25. two people for hoyer lift-why?

    BuckyBadgerRN replied to CNA2day's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If that resident is careplanned as a hoyer and the facility policy is 2 staff to use a mechanical lift, I'd write you up for doing what you did. Flame away, but staff safety is PRIORITY, with resident...
