    Badge Tracking

    Jory replied to SparklyBaby's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are a waste of time and money and I think hand sanitizing is being used as an excuse to more closely monitor nurses. When you get dinged for going into an empty room for two seconds...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I would have more respect for RV if she just admitted she made a catastrophic error by taking shortcuts and using herself as an example of what NOT to do. I honestly haven't read anything from her...

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, SOME level of punishment needs to be levied. Very unfair to other hospitals and a good corporate lawyer can use the Vanderbilt case as a defense if CMS decides on little to no action and...

    Do you think I have a case? HIPAA

    Jory replied to msoncnurse17's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I seriously doubt your nursing program nor your hospital orientation didn't review HIPAA. Regulations require both and you don't need an entire class on HIPAA to understand it. Don't talk about...

    I found a way to avoid HIPAA violation!

    Jory replied to egglady's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Hmmm...not necessary. Being on social media is not the problem. Having a cell phone isn't the problem. Not having self-control in what you post is the

    Latest on RaDonda Vaught case

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Think about it...they are not going to put a facility like Vanderbilt out of business. Their annual revenue is in the billions. CMS had to fluff a few feathers to appease the public, but they are...

    Should I have accessed her port?

    Jory replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    True...but that blows my mind there apparently wasn't a teaching opportunity in the facility. We didn't have a formal class to access ports....this was part of your check off and you learned as you...

    Should I have accessed her port?

    Jory replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    The purpose of the port is to access it and to keep the patient from being stuck...over and over again. The PIV should never have been

    My First Write Up

    Jory replied to berrynurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is not a formal write up, it's a formal complaint by an egotistical co-worker. Your manager is correct that it isn't going to go

    Do you have to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    Jory replied to Marie_30's topic in General Nursing

    This depends on where you live. I moved to go to a nursing school in a smaller area because where I lived the requirements were ridiculous. They wanted you to see you volunteer 20 hours a week...I...

    Not adjusting to night shift

    Jory replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    You can't always do this if you have children, especially if they are not in school. Otherwise, you are going to miss a huge part of their life because you are in

    Man erroneously circumcised after paperwork mixup

    Jory replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I am not doubting you found that some book somewhere, I am just stating a HISTORICAL FACT that boys were being circumcised in America long before there were even formal medical education programs in...

    Lost job over HIPAA violation

    Jory replied to MInurse19's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Wow, I am so sorry this happened. While this absolutely warranted a write-up, I think in firing you they went too far and reporting this to the BON is even more ridiculous. I agree 100% with the...

    Is giving information to the police a HIPAA violation

    Jory replied to YeeHaw2000's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What happened this week at our hospital was a perfect example. An attorney's office called the floor looking for an update on the patient. One of the senior nurses took the call, it was during the...

    Medication Error

    Jory replied to jeane1090's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes being overly anxious can cause you to make a medical error. What area of nursing are you in? While it is important to check your MAR, checking it more than once an hour is completely...

    Man erroneously circumcised after paperwork mixup

    Jory replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, that isn't at all true. There are other countries besides Americans that circumcise males. I would encourage you to pull up a male circumcision map. Male circumcision was occurring long...

    Fainting Nursing Student

    Jory replied to NS94's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to go see your PCP and have some blood work performed to make sure you don't have a medical issue. While fainting can because by emotions being overwhelmed, having two instances fairly...

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever pulled a med from the Pyxis? Because that isn't how they work. You think at the first drug you pull up after only a couple of letters is even 99% of the time the right one? Well, it's...

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Whoever asked that question was an idiot, because if you pull up the definition in the state statute, it meets ALL of the criteria. It also matches it per definition in the Black's Law

    Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We haven't seen an official report...my guess is that the time out occurred, but the wrong site was documented at some point along the way. Therefore, when the procedure started, the surgeon thought...

    Write Up's and Potential Termination for Pain Reassessments

    Jory replied to MiralaxOnIceRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. The problem with the system is for post-surgical or patients with intractable pain, we all know it's best to give it on a schedule. So even though that strong opiate may be for "7 to 10",...

    Nursing Student and Mental Math
