  1. question about HIPAA

    chrisrn24 replied to nursingst1234's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Just make sure that you don't go out in public and yell your story when you're sitting at the bar...if you want to tell a story, I'd wait til you're in

  4. Does your LTC get mad when you send patients do the ER?

    chrisrn24 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    chrisrn24 replied to catlvr's topic in General Nursing

  10. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    chrisrn24 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I respect my elders who deserve respect. If you're 80 and naive and rude and disrespectful you do not deserve my respect because you're old. Work as a server for a few months then you'll reconsider...

    chrisrn24 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  13. Would wearing a sexy nursing outfit to a party disrespect the profession?

    chrisrn24 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    chrisrn24 replied to Westm88's topic in Patient Medications

    Set up your equations. Remember you set the rate for x ml/1 hr (60 minutes). You know that you need to infuse 50 ml over 30 minutes so... 50 ml X ml ------ = -------- 30 min...
