   Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

   Norubit15 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Sad to say, but hardly anything would surprise me anymore. These people who feel the need to post videos related to their workplace and of patients of those organizations are so very inhumane, immoral and and unkind that it makes me wonder why they b...

   I’m in trouble with DSD at work and it’s killing me that I could be fired

   Norubit15 replied to uniteddemclub's topic in New Nurse

   Hello! I am sorry you had a bad experience at work, and were worried for your job. I am hopeful that you got answers early this week. It doesn't sound to me like you did anything wrong, you merely answered a question. It appears to ...

   Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

   Norubit15 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I absolutely stand behind the dismissal of the nurses. How incredibly unethical and uncompassionate! What I really find incredible is that FOUR nurses at this facility on the same shift were doing this. It grieves me to know that anyone would do t...

   Was labor induced or not? How can I tell?

   Norubit15 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you. I realized when reading your post that I left out FOC, "father of child." This was fun for me because I don't work in this area, but for many others that do, they may have thought it was easy peasy and quite boring. A lot of fa...

   Was labor induced or not? How can I tell?

   Norubit15 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

   @Trixie Adelaide, For grins and giggles, I have decided to try and decipher some of this. Okay, so going back a bit in my learning, here's my take on it: I know that G stands for Gravida or number of pregnancies, so I guess this is 5 pr...

   @klone, MSN, RN, This Acronym salad is a whopper! Haha. I am sure if I worked in your area of expertise, it would make perfect sense. I believed I learned all these terms once, but you know what they say...if you don't use it you sometimes lo...

   Was labor induced or not? How can I tell?

   Norubit15 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you for the clarification! I think the word "spontaneous" is confusing. The dictionary definition is "performed or occurring as a result of a sudden inner impulse or inclination and without premeditation or external stimulus." Synonym...

   Was labor induced or not? How can I tell?

   Norubit15 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hi there, I do not work in L&D, however, I was fascinated by your question. So, I did some asking around and some quick research. From what I can gather with my newfound information an induction can lead to a spontaneous vaginal delivery w...

   Yes, I agree that everyone has valid opinions here and the fact that we are not law enforcement is what I was really trying to say. Thank you!

    Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

    Norubit15 replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that, but I feel that the nurse could have just told the officer that she suspected he had been drinking and then let the officer use his own judgement on what to do next. I suspect the officer would approach the person and then procee...

    Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

    Norubit15 replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I feel that PHI has been violated. The patient did not give consent. I understand the nurse was concerned for the patient and the community, however she could have just stated that she suspected the patient of drinking alcohol.
