  1. New FB messenger,...HIPAA Violations?

    studentnursemon86 replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I knew a guy who designed whatever app they put on those phones that blocks everything. You can deny messenger those accesses. I think it is on the settings menu. I don't put work info on my phone...

  2. Almost Done - Except Sick

    studentnursemon86 replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    I haven't been told about our policy yet: I'm sure I will when school starts on Monday. Is there any way you can contact your dean? I did that when I was in school for psychology and they let me make...

  3. How would you handle this?

    studentnursemon86 replied to MedFlightDreams's topic in Emergency

    As an ER tech myself; I feel this tech is overstepping their bounds. Techs there probably don't have the ability to put orders in and they shouldn't. I work with many techs who have been there for...

  4. Is This Bullying?

    studentnursemon86 replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a patient who refused to take the red jello from the nurse so she asked me to give it. I am only a tech and I wasn't sure I was allowed to feed the jello to the patient. I did anyway, because...

  5. Just need a vent...

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    I keep telling myself. I should've stayed in bed today though. I went to three stores to find college ruled paper,

  6. How to act on the orientation/first day of school?

    studentnursemon86 replied to iammargarita19's topic in General Students

    Haha, I tried to keep things to myself in A&P and micro. If I knew what something was I would answer a question, but I tried not to act like a know it all. Clearly I didn't know it all, which is...

  7. How to act on the orientation/first day of school?

    studentnursemon86 replied to iammargarita19's topic in General Students

    While I hope my classmates like me; the only one I am worried about winning over is my instructor. I hope to win her over with my charm, good looks, and of course, intelligence (ie:

  8. Any Visually Impaired Nurses Out There?

    studentnursemon86 replied to megan.dnhr's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm starting nursing school in less than a week: I'm legally blind in my left eye so I have pretty much no depth perception. I currently work as an ER tech and I am fine. Do you have decent vision...

  9. Student planner app suggestions?

    studentnursemon86 replied to 7237dallas's topic in General Students

    Ooh I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. I like the old fashioned date book, but the apps can create reminders with alarms. I'll check out both and see which one I like more

  10. Drug Testing for Newly Graduated RN

    studentnursemon86 replied to ManNurse7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think regardless of whether or not MJ is that bad of a drug compared to others, it is still illegal in most states and on a federal level. It is wise not to engage in such behavior, especially...

  11. Advice about liability insurance?

    studentnursemon86 replied to xiaobear007's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not a nurse, but for nursing school we are required to get liability insurance. I went with NSO, though there are many others out there. I think when I graduate (God willing), I will keep my own...

  12. Is This Bullying?

    studentnursemon86 replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok seriously people. Starting my first semester of nursing school in 5 days and I didn't know what kind of back pack I can get to fit the most amount of jello cups. I need to know what backpack and...

  13. Sitters

    studentnursemon86 replied to applesxoranges's topic in Emergency

    We have a locked unit in my ED where sitters aren't needed unless the patient is in restraints. Unfortunately, that is only 6 beds, and we usually have more than 6 suicidal patients. The rest are in...

  14. Nurse safety

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Nursing

    Like I said in my post; I wasn't asking for advice. I was more inquiring if people knew the laws protecting them in their state....

  15. Low GPA

    studentnursemon86 replied to nico_2451's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Part of why I chose an ADN program was my GPA. I am in about the same place. I worked hard and I am almost at a 3.0, however most of the BSN programs in my are wanted exactly a 3.0 or even a 3.5. Good...

  16. Taking isoniazid while in nursing school.

    studentnursemon86 posted a topic in General Students

    I wasn't sure where to post this; I just want to know if anyone else went through this and how they dealt. The last 6 years at my job, my PPD started coming out positive after I was exposed to a...

  17. Nursing book bag..help!

    studentnursemon86 replied to NURSEY92's topic in General Students

    I got a large book bag on wheels from Amazon. I start the 25th as well. I'm not sure it will hold all of my books at once, but it will save my back big

  18. Taking isoniazid while in nursing school.

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    Thanks. I've been on it a little over a month. I had to tell my PCP to do monthly liver function tests so I'm not too confident in their knowledge of this. They didn't tell me about the b6 either, a...

  19. Psych nursing v. 1 to 1 observation with a psych patient

    studentnursemon86 replied to justdoiting's topic in Psychiatric

    Boring is exhausting; like watching people sleep. What about 1:2 or 1:3. I don't feel that is very safe but it is done quite often around here due to staffing and increase of patients with

  20. Taking isoniazid while in nursing school.

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    Nothing happened after the incident. No one contacted me. I was 20 and uneducated about it so I thought it was fine. Then the positive PPD happened and they just did the chest x ray. After a few years...

  21. Taking isoniazid while in nursing school.

    studentnursemon86 replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    I was surprised too. They never addressed the positive PPD. It wasn't addressed until I got the physical for nursing school. I assumed that it was always a false positive or something. I figured I...

  22. Anxiety is high; potential nursing program in turmoil

    studentnursemon86 replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sort of been there. I applied to a reputable state school as well as a local community college. I got a letter from the state school saying they were under review by the BON due to their NCLEX pass...

    studentnursemon86 replied to jwha's topic in General Nursing

    I just got diagnosed with this 2 months ago. I just made a post about the isoniazid that I started a month ago. I have no idea and my doctor didn't explain if my results would always be positive or If...

  25. What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    studentnursemon86 replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    78% and I believe that goes for tests as well as final grades. Anything less than that is considered
