  1. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I hear your concern for this situation, and I do think this situation was very unfortunate. Over the entire population of patients I still believe the benefits of making patient records available...

  2. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I'm aware that HIPAA doesn't preclude a facility/individuals from listening to what a family member has to say (although I have experienced situation/s where it has been made difficult for the family...

  3. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    As things are now, patients have the right to know the first and last name of the nurse caring for them, and they or their authorized family member/s or their legal representatives can obtain their...

  4. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know your facility's internal process for handling such a call from a family member, but I assumed the patient had not given your facility a documented instruction that their family member...

  5. Do nurses hate nursing?

    Susie2310 replied to pandora1212's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think there are a number of reasons for the above. Being an employed nurse doesn't mean one is an expert in patient care, or even particularly valuable as a resource, unfortunately. I don't...

  6. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    Susie2310 replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    I have read that nursing licensure is a privilege. Privilege is not synonymous with right. I believe that this means that licensure is to be considered an extra benefit, one that can be taken away...

  7. I Really Do Not Want the COVID Vaccine ?

    Susie2310 replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Perhaps you aren't aware that there is a WORLD WIDE PANDEMIC that is killing large numbers of people world wide and overwhelming/threatening to overwhelm health care systems, and that Covid 19 has...

  8. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    Susie2310 replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is about more than just "we're innocent until proven guilty." As you said, by not disclosing the BON investigation to potential employers, if the OP is hired he/she will be able to...

  9. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    Susie2310 replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    42pines, only you can make the decision as to what action you are going to take. These are my thoughts about the situation: Even if you are not required to disclose the BON investigation to...

  10. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    Susie2310 replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    Even if the complaints against you have no merit, I believe you have an ethical responsibility to inform a potential employer of the BON investigation. I think that if you fail to do so, other...

  11. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    Susie2310 replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think more could have been done to utilize nurses who are not currently working as nurses but have maintained their licenses and kept their training up to date. There is a volunteer effort for...

  12. Dementia and decision-making

    Susie2310 replied to superduper's topic in Medical-Surgical

    My understanding is that different states have different laws in regard to DPOA for Health

  13. What are they teaching?

    Susie2310 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    I have added my thoughts in bold below

  14. What are they teaching?

    Susie2310 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    This is a rather luxurious approach. In the relative, day to day world, students/their families are charged with paying for the nursing education they receive, and taxpayers are contributing funds...

  15. What are they teaching?

    Susie2310 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    This is a rather misinformed comment: "The thing I think most RN's don't understand is, it's the critical thinking, theory, college level writing, and formatting, grammar and math skills, etc that...

  16. What are they teaching?

    Susie2310 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    My experience is that the community college ADN program prepares nursing students to provide bedside nursing care through a variety of clinical placements, all of which provide hands on experience in...

  17. What are they teaching?

    Susie2310 replied to egglady's topic in General Nursing

    Students have taken college English classes in nursing school prerequisite classes, that at least, when I was a student, required one to write at least one research paper. I well remember using MLA...

  18. Is this Med error/bad ?

    Susie2310 replied to Beachgirlxo2017's topic in General Nursing

    I have typed my thoughts in bold below your

  19. Is this Med error/bad ?

    Susie2310 replied to Beachgirlxo2017's topic in General Nursing

    For a time frame for implementation of routine orders I think it would be important to prioritize more highly time sensitive routine orders over less time sensitive routine orders for the individual...

  20. Is this Med error/bad ?

    Susie2310 replied to Beachgirlxo2017's topic in General Nursing

    It is a med error, and although it appears your patient did not suffer harm in this instance, Heparin med errors have the potential for being very bad. Heparin is a high risk medication (blood...

  21. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    Susie2310 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    No, I've already explained what my concern was in my first reply to llg if you'd care to go back and read it. I'm not concerned about what you have just written above, and this is not a point at...

  22. ESI Resource Classification

    Susie2310 replied to KCnTexas's topic in Emergency

    What are you using for a reference? The most recent ESI Handbook has the ESI Triage Algorithm showing a list of resources. There is an explanation of how resources should be counted, e.g. as...

  23. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    Susie2310 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've read the whole thread and I re-read emtpbruse's posts and your replies to his/her posts, and I am well aware of the context of the discussion. I still disagree that it was necessary to use the...

  24. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    Susie2310 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My point is that while there are specific geographic areas of the country that require a BSN for employment, this is not universally required, e.g. not all geographic areas of the country require a...

  25. Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    Susie2310 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've bolded the part of your post I am referring to. I'm not sure why you found it necessary to use the phrase: "In most areas of the country even associate degree nurses . . ." Why not just say:...
