  2. is re charting legal

    All the courses I have had on charting, or legal issues would say NEVER destroy a medical record. If she wants to edit them first, then she should ask people to write out the rough draft on a...
  3. Lawsuit Threats from Family Members

    As has been stated, documentation is critical. If they threaten to sue, and you document each and every time, some courts have held that they were looking for an excuse to sue, and throw the case

  7. Violence against nurses

    There is no law preventing the reporting of such. The problem for Oregon nurses, especially in locked facilities is that they have been told by the police and the DAs that there is no reason to press...
  8. Pt Threats and Name Badges (again)

    :Melody: :w00t: Fly a flag and strike up the band, Timothy. Finally I agree with you totally. In the "old days" nurses were known to all and sundry as Mz. Splashalot, and if you were a close...

  13. SO Exhausted

    :icon_hug: :thankya: :thankya: :icon_hug: From one who hasn't seen an ER since nursing school. I applaud and commend you. And, I think 12 hour shifts, unless you are answering a phone, are waaaaay to...
  14. Andrea Yates R.N.

    As a legal term, insanity, in most states, means that the person's behavior was directly related to the delusional thinking. Texas has a more simplistic one, in defining sanity as "knowing right from...
  15. Conflicted

    How hard. Every state and county has a set of Administrative Rules, or laws that determine what must happen. Look it up, then hold the SW feet to the fire. In most states, RNs are mandated reporters,...

    CHART, not cart.
  17. Taking pics of pt's injuries with permission??

    Some day soon, we will all have to carry PDAs with cameras, and have photos go right into the cart. Can't
  18. Pubic hair

    Inserting a cath is medically necessary, not usually done as a vanity issue. I would do it easily if necessary for a surgety. Otherwise, no. We are not body
  19. Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Some folks will do anything for money.:angryfire
  21. Celebratory Tattoo?

    An oil lamp is the accepted symbol for nurses, rather than the caducus. Sort of like a jinn's lamp, with a small flame. That's such a good idea, I might get one myself. :blushkiss
  22. Contraband in psychiatric emergency rooms

    Searches usually won't trigger a complaint from Patients' Advocate people unless it was done in a harsh or punative way. Even lawers know that we need to keep a safe
  23. Andrea Yates R.N.

    I'm still amazed that he was not arrested along with her, and considering the slovenly condition of the house, could have been charged c child endagerment prior to the murders. He KNEW that she was...
  24. Would you or wouldn't you?

    Have her take it to an urgent care center and have the nurse call her doc back home and get a
