  3. TEXAS BNE POSITION STATEMENT 15:26 "Nurse Working Hours"

    sjt9721 replied to fossil78's topic in Texas Nursing

    I wonder if the statement could dictate punishment for the actual violators, whether they be facility or individual nurse. On one hand, you have some employers making demands for longer hours and more...

  8. Forced Blood Draw? (DUI situation)

    sjt9721 replied to West_Coast_Ken's topic in Emergency

    I believe the RN did the right thing. The way I understand it, even if the RN had drawn blood for hospital tests, the police can't take one of the tubes nor have the results. They would have to go...

  9. VIP Triage

    sjt9721 replied to mannurse65's topic in Emergency

    The SS would always hold a trauma room at Parkland when POTUS was in Dallas. They might visit for a VP or Governor trip to Dallas, but only the President got a room kept open. (Maybe it makes...

    sjt9721 replied to ben123's topic in General Nursing

    This statement made me smile because it sounds like an oxymoron. The word "uniform" indicates sameness, doesn't it? Sorry Steph, I couldn't help

    sjt9721 replied to ernurse61's topic in Emergency

  19. Medical Employees Fired for HIPAA Violations

    sjt9721 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I remember seeing a thread about this 'rumor' several months ago. I like the use of the generic medical employees.

  20. Medical Employees Fired for HIPAA Violations

    sjt9721 replied to sjt9721's topic in Texas Nursing

    That slanted ear wouldn't have to do with the "ER" listed under your specialties, would it? Lord knows that's where I got

  21. Medical Employees Fired for HIPAA Violations

    sjt9721 replied to sjt9721's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's my point! Maybe CBS-11 realizes that "nurse" is not a blanket term for someone working at a hospital. I figured several members here would be pleased since this negative story didn't highlight...

  25. Family Video Taping

    sjt9721 replied to mydesygn's topic in General Nursing

    I think I looked at this from a different angle... The IV infiltration already happened. Video-taping the nurse(s) after-the-fact won't prove that the IV was done correctly or incorrectly. Maybe they...
