    My boyfriend's ex is a drug seeker/substance abuser/narcotic pill popper

    Jory replied to Queenofhearts_'s topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'll tell you who you need to call and it's not the Board of Nursing...you need to call Social Services because if she is a hard-core addict, they will make her take a drug test and as long as your...

    Juvenile record and TBON

    Jory replied to equalme's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have to mention here that access to juvenile records varies BY STATE. The BON does not have special privileges to access records IF they are sealed...sealed is sealed. Keyword: IF However, the...

    Jory replied to jbluehorseh's topic in Patient Medications

    The doctor's job is to prescribe and he is the one that will be held the most liable...that is why his malpractice insurance is tens of thousands and a nurses is less than $200 a year....it's because...

    thinking about turning in my resignation letter tomorrow....any advice?

    Jory replied to texasguyrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Med-Surg, to me, is one of the most difficult areas of nursing. They don't get any respect because it's not a critical care or specialized unit. However, you have to be VERY knowledgeable to be a...

    Am I Irresponsible?

    Jory replied to my_purpose's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I would do: 1. Set up a meeting with your manager face-to-face. 2. This is what you say, "I am terribly sorry that there was some confusion over my schedule. When you have worked with...

    Pregnancy Discrimination - Interview

    Jory replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have lots of friends that are soon-to-be nurses that when they try to find a job while pregnant, I don't understand at all, the debate "should I mention this at the interview?". My reply is always...

    Positive urine screen and involved with VRP

    Jory replied to Angiepants1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I personally think that is a violation of HIPAA for you to disclose everything you are on. It should only be relevant medications consistent with the class of drugs that they claim you tested...

    Ppd possible positive test

    Jory replied to Luvwriterrz's topic in Health, Stress Management

    No one here has seen it and even if you posted a picture, we can't give medical advice. I can tell you this...the common cold doesn't cause a PPD to be positive unless you have TB. Many people test...

    Large dose of reality just received!

    Jory replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    I agree with you completely....I look at it this way. If I were teaching the class, I would send out the assignment simply stating it should be completed. Then asked whoever didn't complete it to...

    What constitutes falsifying documentation?

    Jory replied to physioex's topic in General Nursing

    I'm actually surprised you don't know the answers to these questions. You do not have the right to cross out ANYONE else's documentation...you can ADD a documentation note and explain the correction,...

    What constitutes falsifying documentation?

    Jory replied to physioex's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely correct in your statement. It is a good policy that AN has against giving legal advice but you are correct in stating that a legal fact is not the same as giving legal

    What constitutes falsifying documentation?

    Jory replied to physioex's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it isn't legal advice and what is considered false documentation, does not vary by state. We all learn about documentation in nursing school and this is reinforced when you get to the...

    "Loosing" my license

    Jory replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    ....this is why you cannot believe everything you read on Allnurses.com. I can think of 1,000 ways that nurse could have protected herself (IF the case even really happened). You document if a...

    "Loosing" my license

    Jory replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT!!!! :yelclap: The biggest myths in nursing: "If you make a medication error, you'll lose your license" "If you make a mistake, you'll lose your license" "If...

    What constitutes falsifying documentation?

    Jory replied to physioex's topic in General Nursing

    It is falsification and she didn't need her preceptor to tell her that it was wrong...because in nursing school you learn that you never, ever write something that didn't happen and if it's not in...

    Large dose of reality just received!

    Jory replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, I view this differently. #1 There is nothing wrong with the professor emailing the assignment in advance and giving instructions on what is to be done. #2 However, it takes one arrogant,...

    Is my e-mail address okay?

    Jory replied to xInspiredx's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Numbers that are included in an email address are not what HR is talking about when you hear about "unprofessional email addresses". I use two email address, one for professional/business purposes...

    How to say no when someone asks for your stethoscope?

    Jory replied to emt... rn student's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If they are in the same room, I let them use it and keep alcohol wipes in my pocket. However, if a student wants to take it in another room, I would say, "I really cannot afford to replace it, aren't...

    Applying for a job in a different state- should I move before or after?

    Jory replied to b_m_prosepct's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There is no way I would go to the expense of getting a license in a state where I don't have a job or move and get caught in a lease and then be left with no income. Total waste of money. It is...

    Working in a christian place while being an atheist?

    Jory replied to mls4455's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I consider myself agnostic and my co-workers have no idea. I live in a very religious area and I have NEVER been asked what my religion is, but I frequently get asked what church I go to...all I say...

    Charting un-witnessed behavior

    Jory replied to Pkirk618's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot chart something you didn't witness....period. That defeats the purpose of charting. Once, upon a chart review, I was told I didn't chart something properly but my hospital was huge on...

    Should I disclose info during an Interview?

    Jory replied to GoosbyLPN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Don't disclose it in the interview, but HR will probably check that anyway...and it may or may not be noticed by a non-nursing professional in HR. I 100% disagree with CapCodMermaid...that isn't lying...

    Ethical/Personal Dilemma - What would you do?

    Jory replied to EMEddie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Here is my take on it: Yes, she absolutely violated HIPAA. I happen to live in an area where it is a very small area and everyone knows everyone. Nurses will sometimes come into work and if they had...

    Accepted! Now what?

    Jory replied to mmills63's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You'll figure out very quickly that the notes and lecture are more valuable than the book...I applaud you for figuring that out. I secretly suspect they assign tons of reading so they can say "so and...
