  1. LPN supervising RN?

    Horseshoe replied to TwoLayi's topic in General Nursing

    Admissions and discharges usually involve comprehensive assessments, which is definitely a clinical issue. In certain states, comprehensive assessments are out of the scope of the LPN, so depending on...

  2. LPN supervising RN?

    Horseshoe replied to TwoLayi's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean by this? LPNs work under their own licenses, not under the license of any

  3. LPN supervising RN?

    Horseshoe replied to TwoLayi's topic in General Nursing

    In my state, LPNs cannot supervise the clinical practice of an RN, no matter how many years of experience either of them have. Nor can LPNs perform comprehensive assessments (presumably involved with...

  4. Difficult Doctors:  Tips for Students and New Nurses

    Horseshoe replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with a lot of this. I learned early on that if you ask the doctors about their kiddos they are much nicer to you. You learn that he has a kid playing t-ball, or that her daughter is good at...

  5. Looking up patients on Facebook

    Horseshoe replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    In order to be a HIPAA violation, the covered entity's act must involve the patient's PHI. A public profile that anyone can see that is put up voluntarily by that patient does NOT constitute protected...

  6. What state should I move to now the Washington State legislature is trying to force me to work seven days a week? (HB 1155)

    Horseshoe replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    Senator Walsh basically stated that she wasn't all that serious about eliminating the 12 hour day. She just wanted to get her digs

  7. What state should I move to now the Washington State legislature is trying to force me to work seven days a week? (HB 1155)

    Horseshoe replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    I think the chances of the elimination of the 12 hour day passing are slim to none. Much ado about nothing imo as it relates to that part of the

  8. What state should I move to now the Washington State legislature is trying to force me to work seven days a week? (HB 1155)

    Horseshoe replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, you're so angry over something so small you can hardly control yourself. Please try to re-familiarize yourself with the TOS before the mods close your

    Horseshoe replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Wuzzie. There is no reason for the OP to be so completely enraged because someone had the audacity to suggest she read the bill (very short reading btw) that is the subject of her...

    Horseshoe replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. Can you quote the post where Klone expressed disdain for "anyone who doesn't read all the

  11. What state should I move to now the Washington State legislature is trying to force me to work seven days a week? (HB 1155)

    The bill you made a thread about is what, 4 or 5 pages long? Not really

  12. HIPPA?

    Horseshoe replied to hara1112's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    HIPAA HIPAA HIPAA HIPAA HIPAA HIPAA HIPAA HIPAA HIPAA HIPAA HIPAA Sorry, self induced trance there. NO, I would not do what you are

  13. Why don't we talk much about these scenarios?

    Horseshoe replied to Persephone Paige's topic in General Nursing

    Well, what do you mean "are we allowed to fight back"? What good does it do you to have employer approval if you are dead? Of course you defend yourself (if that is what you mean by "fight back"). If...

  14. New grad on leave with 3 kids under 3...HELP

    Horseshoe replied to nursemom24's topic in General Nursing

    You made a choice to quit the dream job knowing that it might completely derail your future in that specialty. Now you are fully realizing the consequences of that decision. It's rare that we can have...

  15. Is this even Legal?

    Horseshoe replied to Roda dendron's topic in General Nursing

    That's not a universal thing though. This has come up on AN before, with MANY nurses stating that they never did this. That's not to say that most of us don't have a personal commitment to helping...

    Horseshoe replied to Roda dendron's topic in General Nursing

    I never took any oath. What oath are you

    Horseshoe replied to kkb91's topic in General Nursing

    Took the words right out of my mouth...er, keyboard. I wanted to go into L & D, for the same reasons explained already. Ended up in adult cardiac critical care. Now working OR elective plastic...

  19. Being bullied at work

    Horseshoe replied to Mariah2019's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it relevant that most of the nurses there are LPNs? Do you have a problem with that fact? I wondered because you grouped your descriptions together: "LPNs...hostile...ghetto." If you are in any...

  20. Is this even Legal?

    Horseshoe replied to Roda dendron's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding is that Safe Harbor can protect your license, but certainly not your job. Also, I doubt it would protect you in the event of a civil lawsuit, though I am not totally sure about that....

  21. Is a pension really worth it?

    OUCH.

  22. Is a pension really worth it?

    Horseshoe replied to kelsonsa's topic in General Nursing

    All of Dad's pensions are taxable. He gets the VA pension as a separate check (with no taxes withheld), but it was combined with the retired military pension in his 1099,and I had to report the total...

  23. NPR's take on RV

    Horseshoe replied to ruby_jane's topic in General Nursing

    That's interesting, because IIRC, the research has shown that doctors who admit fault and sincerely apologize are actually less likely to be

    Horseshoe replied to Roda dendron's topic in General Nursing

    They most certainly cannot, though as we on AN know, they often do like to try to convince nurses that they
