  1. No, it's common. I also applied at a time when their applications were
  2. I'll be honest..this is what I would do. I would refer yourself (you usually can) and not bother mentioning you are a nurse. Problem solved. I am just paranoid about getting an equally paranoid...
  3. However, this is the incorrect way to go about it. You cannot "ignore" an order and do nothing else. That will get you into trouble because you have no backup. For example, ventilator patients...

    Pros & Con's of baby making while in nursing school.

    26 is not old and my vote is: NO If all goes well, you have a perfect pregnancy and a perfect birth, no big deal. If anything goes wrong and you end up on bed rest or have a c-section, they will...

    Disability: genuinely curious

    I live in an area where the unemployment rate is so high most people know exactly which lawyer to go to so they can get in disability--it's easier than working plus you get health insurance. They can...
  6. I'm confused. Why do you assume that you have to quit work for extensive treatment when you don't even have a diagnosis yet? Many people have syncope episodes, most are cardiac or blood sugar...

    Lancet Needle Stick

    Call me crazy, but I probably wouldn't have even bothered getting tested over that. The rationale is even if you had a known dirty stick from an HIV positive patient, the chances of transmission is...

    Relocation Packages

    I have a question for the group. I am pondering on whether to start looking for administrative type positions. My husband is easily relocatable, so that is not an issue. My concern is the house we...
  9. Yes, they sure can and it falls on them if something happens to the patient. Just document that they told you and use critical thinking if it's remotely appropriate. I would question it, then...

    Family with access to hospital/clinic EMR

    You are sharp and this is an EXCELLENT example of understanding

    Access and HIPPA

    Nope. If she is working in another part of the hospital you are over-thinking things. However, if you start hearing information back, I would call the hospital and see if she accessed

    Might be a violation, maybe.

    That depends, who was around? If it was only you, and you are an employee, no violation occurred. They can scream it across the parking lot if they want to, but if no one else heard it, no violation...

    Recording halls in psych facility

    It's not a HIPAA violation it's privacy. In halls you do not have an expectation of privacy. Every hall in the hospital where I work is recorded for safety. The patients do not have to consent to the...
  14. I didn't get to post a full response because I was busy earlier today, but there are major holes in your theory. I don't know how long you have been on this board, but there have been MANY students...
  15. I don't think that 1.2% increase is significant over the course of several

    Ativan at School for Students Under 18

    I don't really see the rationale that the Ativan has to be given by the RN because it's not approved by the FDA for children under the age of 18. There is nothing in the nurse practice act that...

    Relocation Packages

    Hospitals generally won't do it for nursing positions, but they will do it for management positions and above. It is actually a standard practice. I really don't understand the mailing of...

    HIPAA and the Undocumented

    Your office had better make sure that they know how to tell if a document is valid. If they get it wrong and refuse care you have a race discrimination on your hands that you will most likely

    "They may hire a private investigator..."

    I actually think you are over-thinking this. Anyone can hire a PI to follow you for any reason. If I wanted to hire one to investigate my husband, my best friend, a nosey neighbor down the street, I...
  20. When I look at schools, I am NOT impressed by a 0% attrition rate. If you have a 0% attrition rate and a 75% pass rate, that isn't the school you want to go to. You also wonder if the school is...
  21. I looked at this link above and you did not interpret the statistics correctly. The attrition rate in the last few years at Frontier has remained fairly constant. However, they have increased...
  22. As long as your hair is professional, I see no need to change

    Money for DNP...how!?

    Are they still in default? I would get that fixed. In my state they will take your nursing license if they find out that you have defaulted on student
  24. Contamination is your #1 complication with enteral feeds. You need to check to see what the enteral formula says is the maximum hang time. Your start time is going to be when the mixture is...
  25. Unfortunately, this is not at all accurate. If your transcripts do not show "degree conferred" the name of the degree, and the date? Guess what? You didn't graduate. Boards of nursing require...
