  2. How's My Mom iPhone app

    navyguyhm3 replied to Dorali's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm..wouldn't that constitute a hipa/privacy violation...sending healthcare updates via phone? Sounds to me like if you use this app...your setting yourself up for some kind of disciplinary action. i...

  3. Job listing on resume??

    navyguyhm3 replied to BrookeeLou_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you mean by moving. I was prior military (employers seem to overlook that) so I have multiple moves. It looks bad too..as you said "job hopping". Though it was far from it. Navy medicine...

  4. Where to work

    navyguyhm3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new LVN. What is the best route to go? hospital, clinic, SNF, STC or a private practice? I'm told to go thru a registry because registry pays way better and you're not stuck at any one facility....

  5. Does an employer have to have staff phone numbers?

    navyguyhm3 replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure of any legalities but lets say they need to get a hold of you because of a med error or some issue at the facility that you needed to know about. I don't there would be any legal...

  6. Where to work

    navyguyhm3 replied to navyguyhm3's topic in General Nursing

  7. improper charting vs backstabbing?

    navyguyhm3 replied to ferretface's topic in General Nursing

    That's what asked. I'm thinking Ferretface can maybe hit them with slander or defacement of character, since it was written in a legal doc. that will be viewed by other HCP's who in turn will view...

  8. improper charting vs backstabbing?

    navyguyhm3 replied to ferretface's topic in General Nursing

    sounds like they're just pigs who want to make themselves look good, even though, it makes them look distasteful and pigheaded. Did you maybe p**s one of them off, and this is their way of slapping...

  9. Job offer on the spot

    navyguyhm3 replied to nursing.mypassion's topic in General Nursing

    I'd take it and accept if for what it is...a job. Try it out for a few weeks and if it's not up to par with what you expected, keep it anyway all the while looking for a position with one of the...

  10. How important is it for nurses to have knowledge of Nutrition?

    navyguyhm3 replied to NutraNurse's topic in General Nursing

  12. Where to work

    navyguyhm3 replied to navyguyhm3's topic in General Nursing

    well..sh**!! guess i've got some thinking to do. i really don't know. Agency seems to be the only way for me to get a pay check at the moment. Even the SNF here turned me down. So i really don't know...

  13. My lie to patient's mom

    navyguyhm3 replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    not a lie at all. As a nurse, you have to show your confidence...even if you lack that confidence in certain areas. You walk in the room with IV supplies in hand with an air of professionalism and you...

    navyguyhm3 replied to Beedge's topic in General Nursing

    You have a BSN...I say apply to vocational schools that teach LVNs. That way, you have your own classroom and your own students. To keep up on your nursing skills, you can also be an LVN clinical...

  18. HIPAA privacy question

    navyguyhm3 replied to nurseandre34's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I know all about partial disclosures of medical info. But just because someone still pays for or is on the insurance plan really isn't a reason to have the "right" to know anything about the patients...

  19. Do CNAs make for better nursing students?

    navyguyhm3 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    most people with a medical background tend to be better students and it makes nursing school easier. I was a medic in the navy for 10 years and done many things a basic RN has never done or probably...

  20. HIPAA privacy question

    navyguyhm3 replied to nurseandre34's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Being that the patient is over the age of 18, the mother has no business in knowing the medical needs of her "child". The patient would have to express verbally and in writing that mom can be present....
