  3. Cultural diversity help

    If you accept the other offer, just be truthful. Tell them the other position works better for you at this time. Express gratitude for the opportunity and leave the door open if necessary to return at...
  5. Question, about HIPPA

    If you did not understand what you were signing, it is not binding. If you did know, check with your state to see if this is a lawful
  6. Question, about HIPPA

    It may be a policy violation at your company, but it is not a HIPPA violation unless you tell someone you went to visit her. Meaning using her name, how you know her and where she is. Keep the visit...

  9. Lazy Charge Nurse

    She should not be discussing the staff with staff, that is unprofessional. But I would be careful calling someone lazy, especially when you do not do her job. Sometimes we think people are lazy,...
  10. Need Advice

    Katy, You're just overwhelmed right now. Understandable too. Depending upon where you are at in school, gets you doubting as well. Once you get over that big hump, even school becomes easier, if not a...
  11. Cultural diversity help

    I will only use female doctors, purely personal preference, I think they are superior in every way. I only make appointments with my own specialist, so this has never been a problem for me. However,...
  12. Impersonating a nurse

    Aww, so it gets even more shady. Unbelievable. But they will continue to get away with this, unless reported, or God forbid, MA's stop going along with this farce. I don't understand how the MA's...
  13. Impersonating a nurse

    Hey, I agree with you. But my point is this is not confusing to the doctors. It is greed. They would rather spend less on MA's and deceive the public. I think it is reprehensible. I also think the...
  14. Impersonating a nurse

    Of course they know. It is much cheaper to hire MA's than RN or LPN's. Why they do
  15. Thanks for answering. Can't wait to go deeper into the subjects! I was trying to be funny when I wrote that, I know you don't hate Florence. Will try harder next time.
  16. Clothing protection ideas

    Keep up the thoughts. This is one that could take off. I agree with you, they are not babies and the bibs are demeaning. You could become the next millionaire. It is way over due. Good

  18. Hi Stephanie! I admit, this post is complex, and after thinking about it for an hour, I have no words of wisdom to say. The first poster, I agreed with, except having trouble with telling an...

    Thanks!!
  20. Telling The Truth: A Nurse Who Stutters

    I too am or should say "was" a stammer. I got over it, by writing. To this day I write and love it. Anyway, I found by expert learning, I had more confidence and stuttered less to none. By expert...
  21. What is not fair? You either want to be a nurse or don't. Why should others unhappiness or complaint with the profession affect you? What does, "being in it for the money mean?". What does any of...
  22. As a healthcare professional, be careful putting your title out there. I remember in the 80's you would see plates with MD, surgeon, etc... Well most of those MD's got rid of those plates, when they...

    Congrats! For saving your life! Very proud of you! I know it isn't easy, but, you are sooo worth
  24. The CRAZIEST "Baseline" You've Ever Heard

    Lmbo!!!
  25. Is nursing "worth it"? HELP!

    Life is full of ebb and flow. We all love the flow and tend to question, doubt during the ebb. Both are needed and what makes us who we are. To a lesser degree, the same happens in nursing, as in any...
