    My HIPAA mistake.

    BostonTerrierLover replied to somenurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    That would be getting way too legalese for me or my colleagues here (but you have 6 RNs here at my facility), who all say they would seek a LNC or Attorney. If nothing more- just to understand the...

    What are the nurse's rights regarding difficult family members?

    BostonTerrierLover replied to Brekka's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would have had this woman removed from the facility after the first warning failed- she would get no warning for physical assault. You can't cure stupid, but we sure shouldn't enable it! By the...

    Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    BostonTerrierLover replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing
