  1. Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    Susie2310 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Interested to hear what people are experiencing in regard to Covid-19 visitor restrictions. How are patients and their family members/significant others coping? What can we do to

  2. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Susie2310 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I do agree with you that these things don't signal a reason to me to be very confident in how things are done, but I still believe the best place to start is by contacting the practice manager and/or...

  3. Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    Susie2310 replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Many patients have executed DPOA's and/or other legal documents such as authorizations to disclose their HIPAA information to their Agent according to state law. How are facilities honoring the...

  4. Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    Susie2310 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My experience has been that I have found the office staff to not be knowledgeable on the subject of DPOA's. I had the impression they had received training that didn't include considering whether a...

  5. Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    Susie2310 replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree completely with appropriate screening measures for the patient's family member/significant other, e.g. temperature checks; ask if the person has had recent exposure to a person known to have...

    Susie2310 replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you very much for participating, and please feel free to continue to comment as much as you

  7. I'm so ashamed of myself

    Susie2310 replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    As has already been pointed out on other threads, the great majority of patients' family members/significant others - the patient's support system - are reasonable in their behavior and expectations...

  8. Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    Susie2310 replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with you. I actually would have thought that this would be a serious enough concern that a support person would be permitted. I had a discussion with someone who would have been able to...

  9. Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    Susie2310 replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am very sorry that you had this experience. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to go through what you did (and to go through what you are currently going through) and not be allowed to...

  10. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    For those who are finding it difficult to have the discussion here that they want to have, I have a suggestion. Think of the points you want to make, take your time and compose a post that is long...

  11. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Some points are worth making for their own sake regardless of whether it is possible to change the minds of other people on the thread. The threads can be and sometimes are viewed by the general...

  12. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This advice is appreciated, but ignoring a poster (any thread on any forum) doesn't actually remedy the problem when/if an actual problematic situation exists; it just means one avoids the situation....

  13. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It is easier said than done, I agree. I would never suggest it is

  14. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think the answer is not to allow oneself to be distracted and to continue to make the points one wants to make, undeterred. People reading a thread where this is happening can see the dynamics...

  15. Covid 19 visitor restrictions

    Susie2310 replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm adding the link to another recent thread which contains many of the sentiments that were expressed on this thread, and

  16. I'm so ashamed of myself

    Susie2310 replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    Of course, for a patient to have visitors en masse would not be appropriate, but as others have articulately pointed out, a single support person (usually a family member/significant other) staying...

  17. Courses to take that could help in the future?

    Susie2310 replied to dylanwino's topic in General Nursing

    If you are looking for low stress classes I definitely wouldn't suggest introductory college Statistics unless one finds math very easy and enjoys it, nor would I suggest Chemistry, Anatomy or...

  18. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I was directing my comments to the topic of the thread: "Allnurses Has Become So Politicized," not to the discussion on this thread, and referenced ICUman's post. He mentioned he joined in 2013; I...

  19. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    It was great to see people asking a wide variety of questions/discussing all kinds of things that related to nursing in some way (not necessarily clinical topics, job concerns/problems, and career...

  20. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I also would like to add, and I fully understand that many people won't agree with this, that I personally found it more enjoyable during the time before we were able to use badges/letters to indicate...

  21. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    Susie2310 replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I miss some of the diverse topics. I mostly enjoyed the posters (not all of them) who started threads that were very original; often asking intriguing questions and challenging the status

  22. Covid-19 and Telehealth

    Susie2310 posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Due to the Covid 19 problem some patients are being offered the choice of video appointments with their health care providers. However, in my experience, not all patients are able to do this, for a...

  23. Covid-19 and Telehealth

    Susie2310 replied to Susie2310's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Please disregard this if it doesn't apply, but I was wondering if it is possible for your husband to see a dermatologist directly. At the practice I belong to dermatologists are seeing patients in...

  24. Documented note for a coworker RN

    Susie2310 replied to FloatDaddy's topic in General Nursing

    I believe this is the crucial

  25. Covid 19 visitor restrictions
