    To make things simple, this patient was in for GSW's. Threatened to shoot me, my mother, knock me out, and what not. Has been assaulting and threatening staff. Took a pic of me and placed guns to my...

  12. When does HIPPA no longer apply?

    GuineaPigs replied to GuineaPigs's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    All of your responses had to focus on the misspelling on Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act? Just wow, it's almost smartassby the way it's said. I felt bad for the kid and figured...

  16. Failed Second & Third Exam

    GuineaPigs replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    Content can be difficult depending on what it is and how much of it you are willing to learn and retain. The other hard part is standardized testing such as HESI or ATI. My school used both and they...

    GuineaPigs replied to GuineaPigs's topic in General Nursing

    CNAs at my institution are allowed to draw labs. It's me running around like crazy because now I suddenly have lab draws in addition to everything else. The pushback can be anything, but blood draws...

  20. CNA pushback

    GuineaPigs replied to GuineaPigs's topic in General Nursing

    Oh nothing so trivial, it's usually when I just started my shift and AM labs weren't drawn. Then the providers put in stat labs and ask me to get them. Yet I haven't assessed and done med passes and...

    GuineaPigs replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

  23. In fear of losing my license.

    GuineaPigs replied to Newgrad665's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that you wouldn't lose your license. Plus, if you have the chat saved, you can always use it as evidence of blackmail (if that
