    Pinworms?

    bsyrn replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    It is a one time dose for pinworms but it doesn't always kill the eggs, that is why they may need a second dose in 2 weeks. I asked a co-worker and she said they are usually gone 24-48 hrs after the...

    Pinworms?

    bsyrn replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    From what I know, it is usually a three day treatment and they should be gone. Sometimes a follow up treatment is needed and that is done 2 weeks after the initial

    Personal info was shared -HIPPA violation?

    bsyrn replied to Quienes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes, this is a very big HIPAA violation, and yes I would report it. I am quite sure your father is not the only person this has happened to. At least he has you to look after his well being. A lot of...

    bsyrn replied to Guest233447's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is the future of Nursing. I think this is one organizations way of saving money at the expense of their nurses. Run away as fast as you can and don't look

    Nursing Student Lifetime Lifting Restriction?

    bsyrn replied to Lynn52's topic in General Nursing

    I would check with your program. While you probably would not have a problem finding a non bedside job, your school may require a physical with no restrictions. I know where I teach, the students...

    bsyrn replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Nursing

    bsyrn replied to Xatiayn's topic in School

    This may be a FERPA violation although the information needed to be shared to adequately care for the child. I think what you did was correct in telling the teacher to stop providing after school...

    bsyrn replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
