    Moving from Canada to US to Nurse????

    What is my PROBLEM???

    TriciaJ replied to SAHMnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Simple. You became a nurse because you couldn't NOT be a nurse. Now you are missing it. It's a dilemma many of us have; we don't miss the stress but we miss so many other things about nursing. Just...

    Anyone made to actually work two more weeks when resigning during orientation?

    TriciaJ replied to luvapug's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Canesdukegirl. Best to request a meeting with your manager Thursday afternoon if possible. Tell her you're having trouble making it work and feel you and the position are a bad fit for...

    Is this a HIPAA violation?

    TriciaJ replied to studentCL2009's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My understanding is that it IS a HIPAA violation because enough information was posted that the lady could possibly be identified by someone who knows her. In any case, your friend could certainly be...
