  1. I disagree with your statement here: Stories such as these can be used as ammunition to support the notion that nurse practitioners should not be given autonomy to prescribe without physician...

  3. I don't agree with this practice at all. This is an area that is dangerous ground for our government to be involved. If they are still a risk, keep them in prison. We can't say child rape is an act...
  4. She may not but I can guarantee you they are going to write her out early. Her risk of developing complications with a twin pregnancy is higher than a singleton. Most twins are early and she has a...

    What do they teach these days in school?!

    I recently reported a family member for a HIPAA violation. I have a patient that has been in the hospital for the last three days and her sister (who is not her POA) said, "Well, I work in <fill...

    Does your employer charge you for PTO?

    Most employers do not provide them with bedside RN positions, mainly because the cost breakdown in writing is a legal contract and they may not have that broken down by employee..but I just wanted...

    Does your employer charge you for PTO?

    But just because it's different doesn't mean it is shady. If you think you are not paying out-of-pocket for any benefits--you are wrong. They just reduce the hourly wage of ANY job with ANY company...
  8. Where I live, we know so many people that come in and out of the hospitals, it would be impossible to avoid all out-of-hospital contact. However, here is an alternative. Simply ask your manager....

    What would you do!?!

    I disagree. She's probably young and excited and has a specific interest. As you know, either you love OB or you hate it..there doesn't seem to be an in-between. You cannot train for compassion and...

    What would you do!?!

    I don't think any new grad should be faulted for wanting to work in a particular area. I also, held out for the area I wanted upon graduation and had a job secured before I was finished....

    Does your employer charge you for PTO?

    You are looking at this wrong...they are giving you a choice. You can take it without pay or no benefits. If they were only offering you the lower salary for PTO and benefits you wouldn't think...

    Need advice in a sticky situation

    I don't see anything unethical about quitting without notice...mainly because employers exercise their "at will" right and won't give you any notice if you are fired or laid off. Like I said, notice...

    HIPAA scapegoat

    Again...some people have to learn the hard way. You are so out of touch with what HIPAA actually constitutes...it's not even worth discussing. Get a healthcare license..then you'll understand. Good...

    HIPAA scapegoat

    They are responsible for maintaining their own policies, but no...employers don't get sued/sanctioned because one employee made the choice to go rogue. I have never, ever seen a case where risk...

    Need advice in a sticky situation

    Quitting without notice makes you ineligible for rehire. To me, it is a choice. I have seen companies that will put anyone that quits ineligible for rehire, even if they give a
  17. Normally, I would never advocate not disclosing the truth on an application, but a big middle finger to any BON that has that question on their forms. Answer no and move on. They don't have access to...

    Narc Mistake.. Freaking out

    This is no big deal. The medication is locked. This is a classic rookie mistake. This is where honesty is the best policy. Call your manager and say, "I screwed up...this is what happened." That...

    Got Written Up, Cant Stop Thinking About It

    This is a dangerous practice at your hospital and I would start looking for another job. Any hospital that would allow patient dumping onto another nurse without even informing them they are brought...

    HIPAA scapegoat

    You still don't get it. Here is my prediction: Keep stirring the pot and you'll be posting in six months on how to get a lawyer to defend your wife on a BON HIPAA violation. One the hospital will...

  24. My advice: Contact a university LPN to BSN program and see if they have a "begin again" type program. Many colleges have these. Instead of simply applying, schedule an appointment to speak to an...
