  8. Could I be stressed and not know it?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to student777's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't live in NJ, but try the search engine. Put in HIPAA NJ or something, you can do that here, Google, or askjeeves. If you post in the NJ section you may get better hits. I hope I was a little...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to redface's topic in General Nursing

    Could you explain what you mean by a political/personality situation? If you feel you were dismissed because a teacher didn't like you, why aren't you challenging this? Whatever it is you are not...

  24. Written consent forms

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to 2mochas's topic in General Nursing
