  1. Is this legal for hospital to do this?

    KRVRN replied to ann915's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's certainly not smart or prudent. And really, who thought up the part about only putting couplets to be discharged the next day over there? That would mean they are making moms change rooms in the...

  2. Any 22 weekers out there?

    KRVRN replied to mauigal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    An IVF 22 weeker would be a bit more mature (further along) than a 22 weeker with dates counted from LMP. Possibly 2 weeks more

  3. Is my nursing CYA brain taking it too far?

  4. Is my nursing CYA brain taking it too far?

    KRVRN replied to Kallie3006's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would probably just leave it blank. If he were on a med that has to be administered (or if he self administers) at school, the school would already have any needed info. An exception in my mind...

    KRVRN replied to lalonzo27's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    One anti-vax claim I've never understood... So the supposed effectiveness of the Hib vaccine is attributable to improved sanitation and infection control and not the vaccine? Was our sanitation really...

  10. Bed Bugs

    KRVRN replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    Is it still hot where you live? Leaving your things in a hot car should kill any hitch hikers from coming

  11. Will working the night shift provide more opportunity to see family on holidays?

    KRVRN replied to 8130's topic in General Nursing

    With night shift, you can come home and hopefully get to bed by 0900. Then, sleep until 1400 or so and get up and go to the get together. Stay until 1800 or so and get to work by 1900. This works...

  12. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    KRVRN replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the arguments I hear dislike that we have to put something foreign in our bodies, etc. It occurs to me that every single year many of us go and get a TB test --something foreign injected into...

  14. Nursing scrubs worn by visitors in the unit

    KRVRN replied to Skippingtowork's topic in General Nursing

    I see your point. It tends to be a non issue since Mom usually isn't working and Dad will be off work awhile and then when he gos back, he will generally come along with Mom to visit baby...which...

    KRVRN replied to Skippingtowork's topic in General Nursing

    Well that's why moms should be taught to look for the name badge and not the

  16. Nursing scrubs worn by visitors in the unit

    KRVRN replied to Skippingtowork's topic in General Nursing

    I can see hospital scrubs as potentially dirty if they've been worn all day. Security-wise I wouldn't think it

    KRVRN replied to babynurseedu's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    How's your breastfeeding lecture? I wish I had gitten better info. When I started we got a lecture on "breastfeeding" but it mostly about the benefits of it, composition of the milk, and lactogenesis...

  19. Student Nurse HIPPA Violation

    KRVRN replied to MN17's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The screen shots had the pt name on them I assume? It's probably best to self report and admit it was a

  20. False reporting to BON

    KRVRN replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds very obvious to me that she has a diagnosis with a disability of some sort. They were probably giving her accomodations. You wouldn't have been privy to that

  21. Brand New NICU Nurse Needs Advice

    KRVRN replied to BrandNewBabyNurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    KRVRN replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in General Nursing

  24. False reporting to BON

    KRVRN replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in General Nursing

    Without specific evidence I can't see the BON reacting at all. I think they have other things to

  25. Friend violating HIPAA! What should I do?

    KRVRN replied to MQ Edna's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Unfortunately, I don't see anything reportable since it's been taken down and can't be proved. Educate your friend that if it HAD been caught she would be in
