    Please forgive my neurosis, but is this is a Hipaa violation?

    Glycerine82 replied to guest879529's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    An easy way to think of it is that a HIPAA violation allows someone to identify the person you're speaking of, in one way or another. In this case there is no way for your Mom to identify the...

    Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Glycerine82 replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    I have no words that haven't likely already been said. The words that haven't been said would get me in big trouble for violating TOS.

    My Nana fell in my kitchen when I was around 19, and I laughed! I still don't know why, but I totally did. She was soooo mad, too. She was OK,

    As an aside, people with ADHD generally make great nurses and are great multi-taskers.

    I have ADHD also. Please know that there isn't anything you can't do simply because you have adhd. You will find some things more challenging, yes but you just have to find ways to use it to your...

    I asked a doctor about a patient we had recently transferred to the unit. He replied that she was "FTD" I'm wracking my student brain for that abbreviation, trying to figure out what It stands for,...

    This song was playing on the radio after my Nana's wake. My brother and I looked at each other and burst out laughing, because - what else was there to do? I miss her to this day. Ok....this will...

    Nurses forced to work as aides

    Glycerine82 replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Listen people, the alternative is to have ZERO CNAs and less patients. Would that still be working beneath your licence? Honestly, I wish all nursing was primary care. The reason this kind of thing...

    You replied to my general comment as if I was speaking directly to/about you, and I wasn't. If you don't fall into the category of which my response would fall then clearly my comments were not meant...

    Don't Want To Touch Patients!

    Glycerine82 replied to ThinBabe's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a germaphobe, but I am a bit of a hypochondriac. (Seriously, why is that word spelled "hypo" when its an obsession of sorts. YOu'd think it would be hyper...) Its actually gotten better as...

    Glycerine82 replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I just think a lot of you are missing the point, and are focusing on what your job title is and not what your patients need. If your patent needs their bed made or their toilet unclogged, why not...

    Glycerine82 replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is common practice around here. You aren't being asked to change light bulbs, you're being asked to care for patients in a capacity that you are qualified. The only problem I would see with it...

    Is this a HIPAA Violation - Invasion of Patient's Privacy?

    Glycerine82 replied to hayest's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Sorry, but I see this totally differently. From what I gather, the patient is nit-picking and doesn't understand how the portal system works while the assistant is totally unsure how to reply to such...

    Absolutely, completely loved it. Would do it forever, if I could. My favorite kind of work was acute rehab, in a hospital. My favorite kind of patients are the elderly. OMG i could just squeeze...

    Question About Reporting Abuse

    Glycerine82 replied to valliloves's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It would fall under emotional abuse, because it's a humiliating statement to make in front of the patient, if that's the way it was worded. Personally, I don't give that kind of report in front of...
