    NCLEX March 14

    Jory replied to VirTriC's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You cannot tell by the number of questions whether you passed or failed. Even if you get the MAXIMUM number of questions, that doesn't mean you failed...that means you were very, very close the...

    A doctor needs to be present to draw blood?

    Jory replied to psu_213's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Not the same thing. It's not like they are drawing blood from

    A doctor needs to be present to draw blood?

    Jory replied to psu_213's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree with Altra...that sounds like someone that isn't licensed as an LPN...otherwise, it doesn't

    Treating fever with acetaminophen

    Jory replied to Vespertinas's topic in Patient Medications

    I always ask the patient. If there is an order I ask the patient if they are comfortable, educate them that a "little fever" is a good thing and give them the option if they want the medication or...

    Releasing information to police

    Jory replied to hodgieRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Police have powers that override HIPPA and you don't have to be under arrest either. For example, I cannot refuse to identify myself to a police officer that asks me, even if I am not under arrest....

    Student Nurse Nightmare-Help!

    Jory replied to RNFiona's topic in General Nursing

    I had a student like that once (not quite as bad, but darn close). At first, I chalked the arrogance up to nerves, and then when I noted every day was starting out the same, I just took her into a...

    Mystery Baby

    Jory replied to xfitrn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Here is the kicker...speech therapists are not physical therapists and physical therapists are not speech therapists. Before anyone puts this baby though a very painful (and probably very needless...

    Keeping A Written Record Of The Patients You've Had: Good Or Bad?

    Jory replied to All4NursingRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Here is the reality of it...if you keep these records at home, you don't tell ANYONE about it, ever. Not even your most trusted co-workers or friends, nobody. Many "old school" nurses have always kept...

    Need help!! HIPAA complaint

    Jory replied to jennyanne33's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    That is not a HIPAA violation. Not even close. 1. She did check in with the site contact....that is what she was required to do. 2. The reviewer is not responsible for how the facility manages the...

    question about HIPAA

    Jory replied to nursingst1234's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Education of health care professionals is an exception under HIPAA. She can tell all the stories she wants, give real-life examples, and it is not a violation, as long as she does it in a classroom,...

    I maybe in trouble, HIPPA Violation

    Jory replied to ms.amy03's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Unfortunately, you are incorrect. You don't have to mention a name for it to be a HIPAA violation. That is the biggest myth of HIPAA. If you read the guidelines, all you have to do is post "enough"...

    These annoying HIPAA laws:)

    Jory replied to MomRN0913's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't think anyone is talking about accessing a dead patient's records...if the articles and stories were PUBLISHED, yes, you can absolutely share them. You just can't tell anyone how you know the...

    HIPAA question...

    Jory replied to AngelfireRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    People think that if you don't mention a name, it's not a HIPAA violation. The bottom line is that it's easier to not say anything than to defend your job if someone in management disagrees....

    Adoption Policy???

    Jory replied to jodyangel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Do you live in a safe-haven state? My thinking is that she not only doesn't have to take care of the baby, she doesn't even have to take it home if she doesn't want to. At the facility here (no...

    Who's right? Verbal order versus fax order

    Jory replied to aphillipi's topic in General Nursing

    No order exists unless the physician is aware of it. You cannot "initiate" an order by sending him a fax. He could have left the office for the day, for the week, he may never check the fax machine...

    Is My Nursing License At Risk?

    Yeah, good thing they didn't kill anyone

    Is My Nursing License At Risk?

    Jory replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is unlikely that a nurse would get sued AT ALL. That is why I can get $2 million in coverage for $158 per year and a doctor has to pay thousands. That is because statistically, they get sued and we...

    License reinstated but no one will hire me

    Jory replied to 47lpn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would try to seek employment in a private practice to where it is a group of physicians, not a corporation, that will decide if you are hired or not. You will most likely not get a job anywhere that...

    Yet Another Pre-Employment Drug Screen Thread

    Jory replied to YouSmellLikeCDiff's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, this isn't exactly what I am referring to. People with addiction issues fall into a different category and even though on one hand, I feel that if you need psychiatric counseling, that should be...

    IV narcotics?

    Jory replied to AlphaPig's topic in Medical-Surgical

    This is how we were taught to do it in accordance with hospital policy. If you do it the way the OP is, you risk some of the saline getting flushed back into the vial and not giving the appropriate...

    Yet Another Pre-Employment Drug Screen Thread

    Jory replied to YouSmellLikeCDiff's topic in First Year After Licensure

    . Not true...depends on the drug, depends on what it is for. No, they cannot ask you for a drug list for "anything" you are not, formal employment offer or not. That is a violation of HIPAA. You...

    isolettes and premies

    isolettes and premies

    Jory replied to ladytraviler's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Are you talking about a temp probe on the isolette or do you mean a temp monitor on the baby? I didn't know they made isolettes without a temp probe. You can't put a baby into one without turning the...

    Yet Another Pre-Employment Drug Screen Thread

    Jory replied to YouSmellLikeCDiff's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Remember the first rule of prescriptions that you learned about in nursing school: A LEGAL PRESCRIPTION IS WRITTEN FOR YOU AND TAKEN BY YOU. Here is what you need to know about drug testing...
