This has always been my understanding.

Nursing has always been confidential. This is nothing new. HIPPA was designed for insurance data warehouses and was turned into a nursing issue. Just some history about HIPPA.

Have you ever had to go to the ER in the hospital you worked at? And they put you in the hall? A lot of people walking by know you...they say hi. That is not breach of confidentiality. This is the best example I can use because it happened to me. I d...

My coworker and friend passed a half an hour after he got home at 8a. after a hard night shift. My coworker did not feel well and was worried about his attendance policy. Needless to say...that was a hard blow to deal with when I returned the next ni...

I have been out for two years and no one has said anything. I think the answer is whatever is best for you.

I worked as a traveler. The best thing is you make really good money and they usually put you in a nice place. Some agencies can place you in a dog friendly apartment if you want to take your pet. Many of the travel companies provide healthcare right...

I am not from California, but yes you think it should be this way. Also, a national nurses license would be nice too.

Congratulations. You will eat, sleep, and live nursing. Best of luck.

I want to start by saying I think it is very nice that you are concerned about your mom. I think your mom already knows the answers to these questions. A registered nurse is responsible for the actions she delegates to. I agree with above posters tha...

My last hospital job took them five months to bring me in. Try to keep the faith, but I would still send some resumes out..just to be on the safe side. Good luck.

Large hospital? Small hospital? 12 admissions per one nurse? Something is wrong with this picture?

My question exactly. New to the hospital too? Well, give it some time. It should be a littier quieter on midnights. Good luck. Slow down and breathe.:)

Update: Have an interview Monday afternoon with a different company. Will give details when I get back as to what they are requesting. Thanks for the posts. I viewed it the same way you posters did. I have been working in the hospital, so I was not ...

HI. There is a home health agency interested in hiring me. I phone interviewed and the person who now wants me to go get fingerprinted and bring all my documentation to the office. I have been fingerprinted twice. The first time I went to the local ...

What is abnormal? I see one thing that stands right out real quick.

When working as a nurse one has to pay attention and be extemely careful. Can not imagine something like this happening before I even got out of school. Seek medical care like previous poster states.

Good for you. Coongratulations.

I am an ADN with a MS. I also have completed 10 classes in my doctorate class. So, my educated guess would say that the difference between ADN and BSN is lots more bookwork and community nursing classes. Just my guess. Not up for a debate about it. I...

When you pass the NCLEX you will be called a RN. You should be treated with respect regardless of your standing as a student or a nurse. It is important to remember your roles as you transition through them. Do not worry...it will work out. Good luc...

This is a good question. Probably need to empty it. too.

To OP What do you think about Nurse Jackie? Oh my.

Tried but did not get far. It is what I do...nursing.

I would of passed this information on in my change of shift report. Also, I am old schooled...back in the day we never ever gave a stroke patient a straw even if they were on thin liquids. At my last job the speech therapist said it was ok. But I did...

Thanks for the advice. I heard some nurses were getting credit check and that is another oh come on. For petes sake we are in MI!! LOL. What do they think...we are really doing that great anyway. I am not paying for anything but a TB test and that is...

Thanks for the response. The thing is I have not even applied. They just saw my ad. She could of looked my license up that is public info. I think they are trying to be cheap. She started with the physical being brought in and I was like look lady! i...
