    HIPAA scapegoat

    Jory replied to inthealpine's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm going to be honest with you...you still don't understand the problem. It doesn't matter what they were "trying" to do. She pulled up the chart on a patient she wasn't assigned to and she was...

    Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    Jory replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    One trip out there and you would figure out why this won't work. Everything, several hours away, is ridiculously expensive. Think about how much of your life would be spent in either commuting or...

    HIPAA scapegoat

    Jory replied to inthealpine's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    A. If the patient wasn't assigned to her or she was not actively engaged in care for the patient, it is a HIPAA violation. You can't just sit and pull up every ED admission that comes in just...

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    A better question is....why are you so obsessed with what she is doing? She's trying to pay her bills like anyone else. If she wanted to tell you, she

    Licensure

    Jory replied to DiannaMac's topic in General Nursing

    If you are an RN, yes, your license is at risk. Back up is backup. You can't leave your RN at the front

    Nursing type that doesn't involve giving injections and shots

    Jory replied to CheesePimiento's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest...you need to see a counselor and get on medication. You are not safe to practice as a nurse if you cannot take full care of a patient. Not trying to be mean, but you have to learn to...

    Concerned

    Jory replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the problem. You have a job to do the techs can't do. The techs have a primary responsibility and you can only help them if you have time. If you don't, you don't. Do they prepare your...

    And The Reason Nurses Don't Get Fired

    Jory replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse did not get fired for leaving the facility multiple times during her shift and had no accountability for where she was and blew up at management for even questioning her about it. I think "How...

    RANT!!! Can’t get INTO AN RN PROGRAM I AM A LPN!!! GPA ISSUES

    Jory replied to Meghan3332's topic in LPN to RN

    This is my recommendation. Call the Admissions Office and see if there are any "begin again" programs. There is no reason you cannot be admitted to nursing

    Placed a narcotic in a sharps bin before scanning it.

    Jory replied to coldcore's topic in General Nursing

    Unless it's an emergency, scan overrides are NEVER necessary. This is a bad practice and in my hospital, will get you a verbal, first written, second written, and termination. What if your patient...

    Chances of getting in after getting suspended from College

    Jory replied to fxyghi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Officers cannot "make" you sign anything. If they could search your room legally, no signature would have been required. What you did was allow them to search without having to obtain a warrant....

    SANE nurses, opinion on UK cellphone handover requirement by rape victims?

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This may sound terrible, but I do agree with at least going through the cell phone. I know that rape victims aren't always believed and that is tragic. As the mother of a son, I think it's equally...

    Protecting the Vulnerable: How Nurses Must Place Patient Safety at the Forefront of Practice

    Jory replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Specialties

    When I worked in case management, you would think that when you called adult protective services, all kinds of magical things would happen, but they would not. I have seen more elderly members with...

    Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    Jory replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    Your school absolutely infuriates me. Yes, talking about other cases with an awake patient in the room is highly inappropriate. It's technically a HIPAA violation. I actually thought this is what...

    Public Record Contaminated

    Jory replied to HealthyLivingToday's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wouldn't worry about this. Tons of nurses have their licenses suspended every year because of failure to renew. That is very different from having it suspended because of disciplinary issues. I...

    Middle Tennessee has no Midlevel jobs

    Jory replied to momofm1998's topic in Advanced Practice

    I once sent an email to a recruiter because their listing contained a job title and requirements that doesn't exist. There is no such thing as an OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner. You can have a CNM, a WHNP,...

    Antibiotics administration.

    Jory replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

    I think a better question is to call the physician or pharmacy (or both) to make sure the last renal function tests have been reviewed. The dosage is scheduled and sometimes changes are missed....
