  1. Am I right to be angry?

    Susie2310 replied to Knytstar's topic in General Nursing

    If I had a PCP with the organization I received care from I might start there, or if I could access my health information online I would see if I could request that the changes are made. It sounds to...

  2. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    Susie2310 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cue the familiar refrain: "But the outcomes show . . .

  3. The right to an opinion

    Susie2310 replied to ElectricCabbage's topic in General Nursing

    From my own experience, it can be very difficult for family members to fully appreciate how ill their loved ones are, and to understand that some activities are now unsuitable for them (i.e. sitting...

  4. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    Susie2310 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No reason msn10 shouldn't express his/her opinions/beliefs. This is a discussion between diverse people, which is the case on the internet. We don't need to censor people's opinions and...

  5. Accelerated Masters with no Nursing background

    Susie2310 replied to Katie_dogluvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I continue to be astounded at the number of nurses who think there's no "qualitative difference" between physicians and nurse practitioners/APN's, and who apparently aren't aware of the hugely more...

  6. Second thoughts about my BSN :/

    Susie2310 replied to WheresMyPen's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I loved reading your post. It is so heartwarming to hear people say that they love taking care of and spending time with patients and love direct care. I'm sure your patients benefit from your...

  7. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Susie2310 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    As a nurse you will frequently be doing "aide work." Everything an aide does a nurse needs to be able to do too. It shows a lack of understanding of one's responsibilities as a nurse to refer to...

    Susie2310 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    This is learned behavior, not some unique biological

  9. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Susie2310 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    I did my clinicals over 20 years ago. Our clinical instructor was In Charge of us, and was present on the floor/s to supervise us during our clinical experience. We were taught to interact with the...

  10. Detox in Jail?

    Susie2310 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Correctional

    I read of someone who went through opiate withdrawal in jail and died. This person needed to go to the hospital.

  11. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    Susie2310 replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    What would be the effect on a facility if it required older, experienced nurses, to obtain a BSN? Some of those nurses, who would be more highly paid than newer nurses, would leave their

  12. ED as a new grad?

    Susie2310 replied to Maverickm808's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I take it you've never worked on med-surg? Because if you had, you would know that med-surg nurses do much more than you've described. It's ok to be ignorant, but not so good to give advice based on...

  13. CCRN

    Susie2310 replied to cardiacxo's topic in Critical Care

    My thoughts: Why wouldn't there be a benefit to an ED nurse in increasing their knowledge of taking care of critically ill patients? If you go to the AACN web site you can see the eligibility...

  14. Suspend the HIPAA law for this shooting

    Susie2310 replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in Nursing News

    Cheyenne, I think I understand the point that you are making about HIPAA, and that is that sometimes the enactment of it's provisions by health care providers (whether they apply the law correctly or...

  15. BSN and Associate Nurses Are Neck and Neck. Will This Change?

    Susie2310 replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    Unsurprisingly some of the people arguing on this thread for "professional" status for nurses are the same people who have argued strenuously on other threads for nurse practitioner independent...

    Yes, there would obviously need to be a method for determining

  18. Violating HIPAA by responding to Yelp

    Susie2310 replied to RiskManager's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think that your facility has the right approach. It's reasonable; it's fair; it's balanced. It doesn't negate the patient's experience and it offers the patient the opportunity to address the...

  19. Violating HIPAA by responding to Yelp

    Susie2310 replied to RiskManager's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    There are other ways to determine a practitioner's quality/credibility besides online patient reviews. I always use a variety of other methods, which I believe is only sensible, and would never...

    Susie2310 replied to RiskManager's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Well, they're still posting about their experience, and vindictiveness is usually pretty easy to spot in my

  21. Violating HIPAA by responding to Yelp

    Susie2310 replied to RiskManager's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think that when one offers a business service to the general public, which health care is, one must be prepared to receive feedback both positive and negative based on patient experiences. It is a...

  23. Violating HIPAA by responding to Yelp

    Susie2310 replied to RiskManager's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My understanding is that HIPAA covers all protected health information, whether electronic, written, or spoken. Could you tell me where you found this

  24. Violating HIPAA by responding to Yelp

    Susie2310 replied to RiskManager's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I was surprised not to see large fines and/or prison terms for HIPAA

  25. I Told him she shouldn't be discharged....

    Susie2310 replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are privy to the details of a patient/family's financial situation that likely only the person who does their taxes is, you are making a lot of assumptions. Trying to conserve financial...
