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

    Glycerine82 replied to hayest's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yep. Patients can request, demand, or ask nicely for anything they want. Doesn't mean that the message will get relayed to everyone and it doesn't mean that those requests can or will always be...

    I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    Glycerine82 replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    OP, I get what you're saying. You take pics during class, and are allowed to provided the patients info is blacked out. You almost did the same thing during clinical, forgetting where you were, but...

    Can You Lose Your CNA License for Job Abandonment?

    Glycerine82 replied to Pj1975's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Like the above poster said, it depends on whether you had accepted the assignment or not. It sounds like you didn't accept the assignment, because you left upon finding out that you were alone. Had...

    Oh, I totally know and accept that. What makes it so irritating is that she is a fellow classmate, and it just seemed like she was trying to sabotage me when I would have hoped for some camaraderie...

    Glycerine82 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I really hope that isn't an actual thing....! Yeah, I mean everyone has their favorite tasks... Personally, I like the really bad wounds. I don't know why, but I jump to assist with wound care on...

    Able To Work Business Hours?

    Glycerine82 replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    I don't know anyone who attends nursing school and works normal hours also. You would have to specifically find a program that had classes on nights and weekends. Nursing school is a full time...

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

    Glycerine82 replied to hayest's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    A conversation over email would only be a HIPAA violation if personal health information was included in that email and said email was sent to someone who didn't have authorization to access it. The...

    HIPAA Question, Please Help

    Glycerine82 replied to valliloves's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You are allowed to tell a patient their own vital signs, but if they have a roomate or family in the room, you should ask that it's ok to tell them while they're there. HIPAA protects healthcare...

    How did you pay for nursing school? Help...I'm in a pickle!

    Glycerine82 replied to dc1994's topic in General Students

    I think you're over analyzing. Take whatever amount in loans that you need to take to live, and pay them off when you

    I think I might be in the wrong field

    Glycerine82 replied to ptrang1987's topic in General Students

    It's not too late. A lot of your pre-reqs can be applied to a different degree. If you don't see yourself doing this day in and day out, if you don't think you will like it, if you don't enjoy...

    Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    Glycerine82 replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

    I ran into this same kind of thing, except they were using their cell phones in their crotches. I turned them in by emailing the professor. I just let her know who it was, and that I wanted to...

    I LIED to a professor

    Glycerine82 replied to Peonies n posie's topic in General Students

    *DEEP BREATH* First of all, your lying didn't hurt the patient, because you checked them right away. Second of all, you've learned your lesson. Thirdly, you are under a TON of pressure and made a...

    OK, I have to comment on the several posters who have said they don't like cleaning poop. I don't "like" the act itself, but do you know what I DO like? I like making someone feel comfortable in...

    Where's the infection?

    Glycerine82 replied to LMH2687's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I think there needs to be a diff as well as previous lab results, to see if she runs high normally. Big difference if she usually runs around 6k vs 11k, for

    Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    Glycerine82 replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    I just have a hard time believing that a professor would say that. Are you sure that you didn't just infer that from things she has said? I am wondering if its possible that they said something more...

    The HARD Truth for most nurses

    Glycerine82 replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What do people THINK when they apply to nursing school? WHY would you apply to get a degree in a SPECIFIC area without knowing the answers to these kinds of questions BEFORE you START?...

    In regards to them calling you a Nurse, do correct them but many of them will do it regardless. It's annoying, but they just associate the word nurse with anyone who is a

    Falsification of Documentation?

    Glycerine82 replied to lowetidern's topic in General Nursing

    The acute rehab unit I worked on did this also, it's a bit of a CYA move so that if anything gets worse or anything is accused of getting worse, there is proof of what the wound looked like upon...

    Is this a VALID reason to terminate someone?

    Glycerine82 replied to lllenjolll's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    From what I can make of your post, it sounds like they had it out for you. I would go to HR right away and talk this out with them. Explain that you were fired for something that happened several...

    is this a HIPAA violation

    Glycerine82 replied to nurse2289's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If it were me, I'd ask the family to step out while the pt and I talked. If the patient chimes in, "No, it's ok, they can stay" then I'm
