    2 year night shifter thinking about days need help!!

    Jory replied to Smartash89's topic in General Nursing

    The only reason I worked night shift as long as I did was because of money. That's it. I'm glad I finally left that behind because I was sinking and sinking

    Is giving information to the police a HIPAA violation

    Jory replied to YeeHaw2000's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    We had a nurse from our hospital that was suspended for this a few months ago. HIPAA education has since been modified to include a "what to do" scenario. Let me explain how it works: Even if police...

    Can posting about a friend breach HIPAA?

    Jory replied to MOVAN15's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I disagree, depends on how she found out. Friendships don't end just because someone is in the hospital, nor does HIPAA regulations make what would OTHERWISE BE PERMISSIBLE, suddenly a violation just...

    Can posting about a friend breach HIPAA?

    Jory replied to MOVAN15's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Nope, no violation. Just be sure that if it's ever brought up...or anyone you know is in the hospital, ask for a different assignment. This prevents lines from being blurred. You did nothing wrong...

    The blurred line, patients, social media, and safety

    Jory replied to Maggie Ann's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Posts like this infuriate me. I'm going to be honest...you sound like a troublemaker. This will not make you friends at work and eventually, will come back to bite you. The patient is already...

    Uncomfortable with practices at new job

    Jory replied to Lostinmyownthoughts's topic in General Nursing

    They need to be careful with these. Procedures can be crossed out, but must be initialed by both the witness and the patient. You cannot write things in the margins. Consents are typically reviewed...

    Vaccination for clinical

    Jory replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    Then please...for the Love of God...DON'T GO TO NURSING SCHOOL. Your unfounded, conspiracy theory, inaccurate bias will spill over into advice you give to patients and will ultimately reflect in poor...

    Being investigated for a patient the nurse didn't even treat

    Jory replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    You don't understand what they are saying. An "investigation" can be something as simple as just calling the nurse and having her say, "I just took a phone call and had nothing to do with the...

    Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Talk to any retired L&D nurse or OB...and let them tell you stories about how babies used to die of Group B strep on a regular basis before they changed the protocol. There is no connection..if...

    Unvaccinated Boy in Oregon gets Tetanus

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oh great, another set of parents that not only didn't vaccinate, but waited until the boy got so sick he was barely breathing before seeking medical care. They need to start charging these parents...

    Any way you could stay over and work a few hours

    Jory replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    When I still did the floor, I would throw a bone every once in awhile, but made it clear I didn't plan on doing it on a full-time basis. Remember...you may need a favor from management. So offering...

    I’ve given up

    Jory replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    This is not your fault. No new grad nurse should ever be hired into a float pool. That is just setting you up for failure . Apply to work on a floor that interests you. I've been a nurse for 10...

    phenobarbital for ETOH withdrawal

    Jory replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient is eating, there is no real reason to give it IV for prevention. One of the reasons they get overmedicated...as much as folks don't want to admit it, is if a patient is simply being a...

    Implied/actual 'Right' for nurses to 'Do' Hands-on Procedures.

    I'm sorry, you may want to edit this because it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Drop the descriptives...just tell the

    This MD culture

    Jory replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    To me...this is a bigger problem. Hospitals should not be catering to the ego of these physicians and honoring stupid requests. A request should have to go through the OR manager and if it's not...

    Has internet fueled anti-vaccine movement?

    Jory replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I read where a nurse recently got fired for posting anti-vaccine info on her website. May sound extreme, but I don't disagree with it because everyone is a nurse in the community, if you are working...

    Lpn to Rn online school

    Jory replied to thatgirl37's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think these are bad ideas. Mainly due to clinicals. You really need a strong program you are tied to and that weekly, in-person reinforcement. If they don't include clinicals--that's a huge...

    My IV Skills are Terrible!!!

    Jory replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, nobody was worse at these than me. It was a running joke. I used to say, "Can you go your whole career and never learn to start one?" Even today, I can stick by sight, I can't do by feel. But...

    This MD culture

    Jory replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell your supervisor in the most polite and professional way possible that you can't do that. The nursing supervisor isn't a provider and if something should happen to that patient and the...

    Is management breaking the law

    Jory replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

    What RV did was the equivalent of not only texting while driving...but at the same time, speeding, ignoring every traffic law, running every red light, stop sign, not giving a signal, etc. You show...

    Tennessee Nurse RaDonda Vaught - Legal Perspectives of Fatal Medication Error

    Jory replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

    Many other legal experts disagree with you. The definition of reckless homicide is not even a difficult one...anyone that can read can see if it can meet the criteria. She was "reckless" because she...
