  2. Nursing scrubs worn by visitors in the unit

    It's not just nurses that wear scrubs, you can't go by that alone to determine employment by a particular appointment--that's what badges are for i work in a clinic and once a week I stop by a hospital pharmacy for chemo that we inject into someone's...

  12. Student Nurse HIPPA Violation

    Chances are VERY good that you'll be found out, so confessing ahead of that might be in your best interest. HOWEVER, no matter what, you should fully expect to be kicked out of your program, what you did was such a gross and blatant violation that t...
  13. Sundowning and the risk of a patient fall

    I'm not sure of your intent on a website meant for nurses---and I don't believe you are one? You come across as some kind of lift salesman, thinly disguised as someone with a patients best interests in mind....
  14. how to stay organized at a LTC home

  15. Anxious, doubtful and afraid. RN needs your help.
