  2. need advice/opinions on where to relocate!

    DragonPurr replied to hellosun's topic in General Nursing

    I say go where ever you can get a job! May not be that "exciting" place you are expecting, but it will be a first start in your journey for some where other than where you are now. Good

  3. Was it or was it not?

    DragonPurr replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought HIPAA covered patient information not anyone else. I hardly see where you could be faulted for a HIPAA violation in referencing the aunt who was not a patient....

  6. Nurses letting other nurses chart on their account

    DragonPurr replied to DQstatus's topic in General Students

    I agree with Pangea. NOT the students lane of fire. In fact, this may even draw the student into being the focus of unintended

  7. Nursing school help! What to do...

    DragonPurr replied to sarahness's topic in Aesthetics

    You are probably well advised to volunteer or shadow a nurse for several days before committing yourself to nursing. I'm telling you right now there is no way you are avoiding vomit, poop, sputum,...

    DragonPurr replied to Magnicious's topic in Men in Nursing

  15. Hostile work environment

    DragonPurr replied to SillyStudent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The truth of the matter is that under the circumstances you describe, you will never change the environment. They have already set the battlefield and you are just fresh fodder for the cannons! I...

  16. Charge nurse pay

    DragonPurr replied to Blandini7's topic in General Nursing

    Another aspect of nursing I think is flawed. How did we get to this point where we let employers treat us this way AND get us to drink the kool-aid that this is "just the way it is"? I'm constantly...

  17. Nurses letting other nurses chart on their account

    DragonPurr replied to DQstatus's topic in General Students

    When another person charts under your name, you become responsible for that charting. Maybe its just me but I'm not having that. I refuse to accept responsibility for someone else's

    DragonPurr replied to No Stars In My Eyes's topic in General Nursing

    It affects me the same way. The more I drink the more I want to drink. But goodness, when I drink water I have to pee every 30 minutes it seems. When I'm only drinking Diet Coke, I only have to go a...

  21. Are Academic Advisors Trustworthy

    DragonPurr replied to elpnla's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I found out early on that the AA's I was working with did not have my best interest at heart. After learning the hard way by listening to bad advice from them, I never followed their lead again. I...

  24. How Does Your Hospital Decide Who is Called Off for Low Census?

    DragonPurr replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    DragonPurr replied to hls0810's topic in General Nursing
