  6. New Jurisprudence Exam

    sjt9721 replied to texasrtkd's topic in Texas Nursing

    The BON website also has a study module for the exam. It cost me $25 to take and highlighted the topics that the exam covers. (I took it because I was preparing a presentation on the Nurse Practice...

  7. Has Nurse's week been changed to "hospital week"?

    sjt9721 replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses week is always the 6th-12th, so it's not a typical M-F business week. Our facility promotes & celebrates Hospital Week. Our Nursing Retention Committee has taken the job of celebrating...

    sjt9721 replied to HNursing's topic in General Nursing

    Too many abbreviations. "VSWNL"......I know what you're trying to say, but is this an approved abbreviation? Would any provider read this & know what you mean? "BS clear".....Breath or bowel...

  11. HIPAA violation wanted more responses

    sjt9721 replied to pollyanna83's topic in General Nursing

    So now you've vented about the situation. If you're looking for empathy or support, you should watch the tone of your typing. All your posts border on being downright rude. (You catch more flies with...

  13. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    sjt9721 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just going by your own words in your first 3 posts of this

  14. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    sjt9721 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    The issue is that you don't see your error...all you see is that you got caught. I'm not debating what drug you gave or in what dose. I'm not arguing whether your drug/dose decision was appropriate or...

  15. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    sjt9721 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Scapegoat, maybe. It does suck when a tolerated practice suddenly catches someone unawares. The real scary thing is that this type of incident could be reportable to the BON. And the Board won't care...

  16. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    sjt9721 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to type this as gently as I can... Is the pain nurse qualified to "give an order" to another nurse? I've made the assumption that she's not advanced practice. Perhaps she can write an order...

    sjt9721 replied to cherex74369's topic in General Nursing

    Ah yes, annual competencies... Typically you shouldn't need to validate every single skill that is done. Try to narrow it down to "high risk", "low volume", and/or "problem prone". That has worked for...

    This doesn't include anything south of Plano (except Richardson). This is all in Collin County. Take your pick! Plano Baylor Regional Medical Center at Plano Baylor Heart Hospital Medical Center of...

  20. Group One background checks in Texas

    sjt9721 replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Your dealing with Group One is an employment issue. The Board of Nursing deals only with licensure issues. They are two separate things and that's why you didn't get anywhere calling the BON. You can...

  21. Pyxis as the problem? You decide.

    sjt9721 replied to vicarious's topic in General Nursing

    These comments make me a little nervous. We are notorious for our "work-arounds" and I'm just as guilty as the next. But it can be a blessing as well as a curse. Scanning/countersigning for someone is...

    sjt9721 replied to gecks's topic in General Nursing
