    Is this Facebook status Hipaa compliant?

    Emergent replied to musicmouse44's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think it's a good idea to avoid using Facebook to discuss work and interactions with patients. If you have to come here and ask bunch of strangers, you probably shouldn't post it even though it...

    Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    Emergent replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Be sure to include: 'Pt said "You f-ing b---h, get me coffee right now!". Then pt threw water across the room getting me wet, continuing to use profanity. Charge nurse and Dr Jerk notified. Dr Jerk...

    Nurses to The People: we did not fail you, you failed us.

    Emergent replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    My mother was an English teacher. She imparted her love of of the English language to me. She also frequently corrected me.

    Nurses to The People: we did not fail you, you failed us.

    Emergent replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    I'm always surprised at the poor writing of people on this site. I really think paragraphs are crucial to presenting concepts in a digestible format. If you are using speech recognition, you can use...

    Nursing is a Small World

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I want to remind people that nursing is a small world. It's never a good idea to burn a bridge with anyone. Whether they have a position of power over you at the moment, you might be surprised to see...

    Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    Emergent replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the nurse you got report from, he's a jerk. I would have probably just allowed him to be noncompliant and charted his behavior. I think the doctor was a jerk in the situation too, to...

    Other nurses being abusive against other nurses.

    Emergent replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I thought you were "signing off"? This thread is a good example of negative attention seeking behavior. If you make a habit of it people will not take kindly and you may open yourself up to ridicule....

    Other nurses being abusive against other nurses.

    Emergent replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Now I'm calling you out. This is BS. You just start a big random thread alluding to something that may have happened somewhere, maybe here, maybe at work. Bullying has been discussed ad nauseum here....

    Other nurses being abusive against other nurses.

    Emergent replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    If this is happening at allnurses, use the yellow triangle report link. I'm sure it's against the rules here to be insulting and accuse people of having mental disorders. I just want to mention that...

    Any truth to this story?

    Emergent replied to Faster's topic in Nursing News

    I hear Rasputin's member was preserved in formaldehyde. Apparently these gals were very curious. Honestly, I'm a bit curious myself at this point. It's never been a preoccupation of mine but, this is...

    Schizophrenic Nurse Job Accommodation

    Emergent replied to falonmontgomeryRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't think you would get anywhere in an interview disclosing your many demands. I think the best tactic would be to seek the job that fits your needs. There must be jobs out

    Jahi McMath is back in the news

    Emergent replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Nursing News

    I always find it ironic that highly religious people will fight so hard to keep someone from going into the next life. I would expect them, of all people, to have faith in God's providence for us in...

    Socially needy coworkers

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This gal actually has a full-time job elsewhere, and is working two days a week at this facility. I used to work at her other job and I was going to ask around. She doesn't have a whole lot of...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    Emergent replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Southpaw was just sharing a very amusing new story. Don't overreact. Did you read the story? It's rather weird and outrageous that an applicant to the police force would really be rejected for an IQ...

    Socially needy coworkers

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I politely looked at her many cat photos that she insisted on showing me. I wouldn't have minded one but then she kept flipping through quite a few. She takes advantage of the fact that one is a...

    Reporting diversion

    Emergent replied to Anon3857's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my 24 yrs of nursing I reported my suspicions once. I was advised by a confidante to talk to pharmacy. I chose to not leave a written record, and to call him and he called me back and we discussed...

    So annoyed/offended right now

    Emergent replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    It's basically pointless to be offended. It's understandable though. But, it accomplishes nothing. Just do your your job the best you can. Try to cultivate a detached attitude. This will save you a...

    The police forum has some similarities to this one. There's a thread by a cop wannabe starting with "Pleeeease heeelp

    Emergent replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just figured out that PC on a police forum does not mean politically correct. It means probable cause. Most of the officers over there seem to feel that this cop was out of line and there was no...

    It's called Officer.com. It was the first one popped up on the Google search for a police forum. I posted the thread under ask a cop

    Emergent replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm getting a lot of varied and very good responses from the thread I started on the police forum. It looks like a really well run forum. It sounds like most think that this guy was a bit of a horses...

    I did just join a law-enforcement officer discussion forum, and posed this question. I will keep you all

    Emergent replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I didn't correct him in the middle of a busy shift while he was standing by with someone who had been arrested. I was glad that he had been forthright in expressing his opinion, which is all...

    Emergent replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just am reporting this officer's point of view, he was a very polite young man. As I've said in other posts here, in my department we have excellent relationships with law-enforcement. I think it's...
