  1. HIPAA help

    rngreenhorn replied to 2greeneyes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    rngreenhorn replied to 2greeneyes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Thanks nurse ellie for clarifying! The one in the middle is either having triplets or has some serious ascites going on. Either way he looks like he's pretty proud of that belly. HIPPO violation...

    rngreenhorn replied to 2greeneyes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  7. The evolution of a new policy in healthcare organzations

    rngreenhorn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if the leadership in all hospitals is as clueless and full of *stuff* as mine. They implement some new BS policy, and then they realize it is not working. Instead of really assessing why the...

  8. The evolution of a new policy in healthcare organzations

    rngreenhorn replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    We named our COWs Bessie and Bossie. Confused the heck out of tech support when we called with a problem. We'd have to use code, cause we couldn't use the word COW (OMG, we might get sued). We'd...

    rngreenhorn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Healthcare is screwed. The new CMS regulations that are cutting funding to hospitals, added to the general bad state of the economy, are causing staffing cuts. The new rules that base reimbursement on...

    rngreenhorn replied to AJPV's topic in General Nursing

    We too had a patient come into his wife's room with a cooler of beer, and his dogs. He cracked a cold one right there is the room. I thought it was hilarious. PARTY'S in room 2010!!!! But the...

  14. How to stop visitors from using empty bed???

    rngreenhorn replied to AJPV's topic in General Nursing

    rngreenhorn replied to NYLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I move that the as a nursing profession we permanantly strike this disgusting-sounding-obiquitous-over-used-cliche' from our lexicon. All in favor say

  16. My monthly semi-coherent rant on the state of healthcare

    rngreenhorn replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't you heard hourly rounding et al is evidence-based! Sheesh, what is wrong with you? It worked wonders for some 5 bed hospital in Outer Mongolia. Plus the research is peer reviewed--- so of...

    rngreenhorn replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your funny and insightful comments. Guess I'm going to have to pop a handful of Metoprolol before heading to work, so my arteries don't blow up. Yes, the prospect of growing old...

    rngreenhorn replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

  22. Politcally incorrect rant aka how my day went

    rngreenhorn replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Meriwhen, that makes sense. I have only done stockinette stitch socks. When I'm making a hat on one circular at some point I have to switch to DPN, and I have to adjust the number of stitches...

  23. Politcally incorrect rant aka how my day went

    rngreenhorn replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    Couldn't help it, had to see what a "Cookie A Monkey" was. Those socks are cool. Looks difficult. I'm impressed. So do they have to be made with 4 DP's or can they be made with

  24. Politcally incorrect rant aka how my day went

    rngreenhorn replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with 2 circulars for socks.... It's really the only way to go. Knitted dish cloths are perfect christmas gifts, homemake, cheap and fast, and people love them. Maybe, I'll try cabling again...
