    Please critique my resume :)

    Jory replied to a533h552's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see a copy of your resume. Don't mention being a patient. Only mention one sentence on what you like about the hospital and then spend the rest of the cover letter telling what you bring to...

    any reason to keep Lpn lic. after getting Rn?

    Jory replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    You can still apply as an RN even if you have never been an LPN and get paid the same as an LPN. There is no rule on that. It's done all the time. Same thing with APRNs working as RNs until they...

    12 patients for a new grad to much?

    Jory replied to Stitchcat's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is....when you don't teach a new RN the specifics of how to be safe in a particular healthcare setting, you are setting the stage for that patient to be harmed and yes, that can ultimately...

    $750 CA RN License??? No way!

    Jory replied to Kdm112990's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea of what you are talking about when you say US trained nurses are denied based on a "microbiology w/lab"....are you talking about failing a drug test? That makes zero sense. We are...

    $750 CA RN License??? No way!

    Jory replied to Kdm112990's topic in General Nursing

    Because there is more involved in coming to this country than just a nursing license. We don't have a nursing shortage in this country...we have a shortage of new grads and nurses without jobs...

    Case Study: HIPAA violation or not?

    Jory replied to Allmy?'s topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Think of it this way...what if it was a genital injury, would you feel the same? Your body is your own....internally, externally. You have the right to not have unauthorized pictures taken by...

    Case Study: HIPAA violation or not?

    Jory replied to Allmy?'s topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It's a HIPAA violation. Patients consent for photographs to be taken by medical staff for the chart, wound care, etc. They don't consent to the pictures for show and tell by a student for...

    $750 CA RN License??? No way!

    Jory replied to Kdm112990's topic in General Nursing

    The whole point is to discriminate against foreign nurses. Let's just call it what it

    12 patients for a new grad to much?

    Jory replied to Stitchcat's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, two weeks of orientation for a new grad is unacceptable in any healthcare setting. This is what kills

    Frontier or Georgetown

    Jory replied to nursemidwife2be's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Georgetown in my opinion, is ridiculously expensive. I don't think any program is worth that kind of

    Already feel like giving up

    Jory replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    I have a feeling it is the way you are interviewing, especially because you are an internal applicant. Get a friend that does hiring where they work to "interview" you and see how you do. When I...

    Dismissal from Nursing program; options?

    Jory replied to Vlp0609's topic in General Students

    There should be a grievance process is your school handbook. The decision of the nursing Dean is NOT final. They may tell you it is...but it isn't. You need to follow that process and appeal that...

    'My Patient died' Facebook post

    Jory replied to miladaniels's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is actually a HIPAA violation, especially if the poster has where they work on their Facebook page. HIPAA doesn't require the mention of a name...just enough information where the patient can be...

    giving patient appointment info to interpreter

    Jory replied to harvestmoon's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes, you are inconveniencing them unnecessarily. The interpreter has been called to serve a patient. That is protected by HIPAA, so the interpreter has a "right to know" if they have arrived or...

    Worried about prospective employers looking at my medical record

    Jory replied to PurpleScrubs's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is a very realistic question. When I used to work in case management, I had access to every patient in the hospital. There were no records of which floor I was assigned to that day, we didn't...

    HIPAA and "Hallway Patients"

    Jory replied to HomeBound's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    HIPAA...is not difficult. I have never seen a case where a nurse had their license sanctioned on anything but an action that was purposeful...posting something on social media, pulling up a chart they...

    Lots of NICU's losing their designation and turning MANY level III NICU's into Level II's

    Jory replied to nurse1432's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't think it's a matter of them "losing" it...it's a matter of them choosing to downgrade due to close proximity to a Level III and overall, how the census is

    Pit Bull Service Dogs

    Jory replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ask for the dogs to be removed. A trained service animal will not do that and you won't see anyone with TWO service animals. Unless you have thousands and thousands of dollars, even charity...

    Confused about EpiPen administration in emergency situations outside of the hospital

    Jory replied to OctoberFoliage's topic in General Nursing

    I would rather stand in court defending giving an EpiPen to someone that survived and was fine with some dimwit DA arguing a technicality, than having to defend why I was on the phone with 911 and...

    Vent

    Jory replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard about the ridiculous Daisy award and had flashbacks to Girl Scouts as well. They would never have juvenile tactics toward physicians or physician assistants for that

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    They are required to report a death directly due to a medical error. Apparently...they did not...you'll have to read down on this article. The Board of Directors will probably be terminating a ton...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is one point we can 100% agree on, all other differences aside. Because her name is unique, she can be searched on the internet, forever, and this will always come up. Her only hope at...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    ...but that is at my hospital. Vanderbilt may be different. I have never worked there, so I have no idea. But it is a dangerous practice overall if you don't truly need it right then. Even the ER...
