    HIPAA Violation?

    Jory replied to hcadena's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    No, it is not. If you are working the unit you have every reason to see who is on the floor because you have to know which nurse has which patient and which rooms have patients for patients safety....

    Hippaa violation question

    Jory replied to Maurice RN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree and would have called the police as soon as I was out the door

    Hippaa violation question

    Jory replied to Maurice RN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I seriously doubt that they are going to do anything because you were reacting to a direct threat to your safety. That would be like dropping your medication bag and running and then the BON dinging...

    Looking up patient after discharge

    Jory replied to TeenuhVo's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    An exception to HIPAA is the education of healthcare workers. You only need to obtain permission through the appropriate channels, then it's not a HIPAA violation anymore. But accessing it without...

    Newborn pictures posted on social media?

    Jory replied to sandy79's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. I never stated that I wasn't bound by HIPAA or that I didn't have to honor HIPAA after the patient was discharged. I never posted that. I never, ever discuss a...

    Newborn pictures posted on social media?

    Jory replied to sandy79's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The bar codes on the badges can be scanned in pictures..that's why it's a big deal. I never have mine on in

    Newborn pictures posted on social media?

    Jory replied to sandy79's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If you would not be the type of nurse where you cannot keep yourself from posting about work related stuff on Facebook, then I would agree...don't friend them on Facebook. I have over 50 former...

    Newborn pictures posted on social media?

    Jory replied to sandy79's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    One what? Sue for what? You obviously don't work in a small area where everyone knows everyone. I frequently take care of patients that I know from outside the facility...does that mean I need to...

    Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Jory replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Once again, I never stated it wasn't effective, I stated it wasn't 100% effective because every strain is not in every vaccine every year. People get strains that isn't in the vaccine...that is right...

    Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Jory replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Watch the video and listen closely..it wasn't a condition of her employment when she took the job. We are not discussing any other vaccine other than the flu-shot...if you want to start another...

    Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Jory replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are you familiar with pregnancy risk categories? I am wagering you do not. Considering you skipped right over that section and didn't even address it. Allow me to redirect you to the elephant in the...

    Unbelievable

    Jory replied to FlyingScot's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'll be honest with you...if she is doing it with HIM she is doing it to YOU or other nurses on the floor. I would turn her in!!!! Feel no guilt!!!! She DOES NOT need to be working there!!!!!! The...

    Newborn pictures posted on social media?

    Jory replied to sandy79's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Depends...how was the picture taken? I have tons of pictures that I have posted with me and babies on Facebook..pictures that were taken by the parents.. but sent to me via Facebook AFTER discharge....

    How could I have handled this better?

    Jory replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Let me clarify something..no hospital policy or nurse practice act in any state prevents you from EVER having a relationship with a patient. I live in a very small area and I have formed a handful of...

    Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Jory replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Do you have a study that shows what the spontaneous abortion rate is of a woman that has a history of recurrent pregnancy loss after they receive the flu shot? I would wager you do not. I don't...

    Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Jory replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The hospitals also need to be taking care of their employees. If you want to rest on that theory then I don't think someone that doesn't take vaccinations or flu shots for religious reasons should be...

    Pregnant nurse fired for refusing flu shot

    Jory replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am pro-vaccine, but the flu shot is not one of those vaccines. It is not every strain, it is not even accurate every year and it's a false sense of security for the hospital. Hospitals are selling...

    RNC and BC certifications...Gone?

    Jory posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering why so many of the certification areas of nursing have disappeared, especially in regards to the ANCC. It's like every other specialty area has disappeared. How are nurses supposed to...

    RNC and BC certifications...Gone?

    Jory replied to Jory's topic in General Nursing

    Well, what I am discovering is that for some areas of nursing, they offer a "certificate" but not a "certification". You can go through and pay for, modules, take a test, pass, but there are no...

    Can't find many NNP programs anymore - What's going on?

    Jory replied to beccabeth741's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    One of the factors that I know of for a fact, is that NNP's are not being as utilized as much in hospitals. The use of an NNP would depend on how many medical schools and access to residents in a...

    gloves?

    Jory replied to geerd's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's an infection control issue and assuming you wear a clean uniform every day (I never even wear the same lab coat every day...I wash everything daily), your pocket is clean. Consider...

    Med passing question from a student

    Jory replied to MsPebbles's topic in Patient Medications

    It would depend on how long the patient had been on the meds. If it was the first time I was giving medications, I would say, "Ok Mr. Smith, I have your Plavix, etc....are any of these new?" If not,...

    Isolette Practices

    Jory replied to nickirn31's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Nurses that "pop" the top with every assessment are defeating the very reason the baby is in an isolette...all the heat is gone (no, the radiant warmer that automatically comes on does not fully...

    There has to be a BETTER WAY to obtain a blood sample.

    Jory replied to lady3's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm sorry, but not every aspect of healthcare is pleasant and your baby has tons of shots ahead of them unless you are planning not to vaccinate your baby. When babies get hurt, they cry, that's all...
