    HIPAA violation?

    nursel56 replied to zelda08's topic in General Students

    Aside from the HIPAA issue..has he exhibited that type of behavior before? It's bizarre in the extreme, not just inappropriate, especially from a nursing student who presumably wants to successfully...

    When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    nursel56 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing that wouldn't happen if any of my clinical instructors were wearing the traditional garb! Especially the one who was a Navy nurse, haha! Even though her school cap was of the frilly...

    When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    nursel56 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    The last time I saw a nurse in old-school garb was 2008. Her shoes were white high-heeled pumps, though, she looked great but heels? Oh no, no, no. I became a nurse to keep away from those things!...

    Wanted to go back for RN

    nursel56 replied to MLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It may help you to realize that, based on my reading so many comments here, if you were to make a major life decision based on those questions and opinions, when you're done a whole new group will...

    New grad in L&D. Are these things normal?

    nursel56 replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just mentioning this because it really is unfathomable this could occur in this niche of the nursing world. I've seen that cruelty in an L & D unit. They generally kept it confined to staff-only...

    Coworkers discussing my health info

    nursel56 replied to Catcar1963's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A few thoughts on your situation, catcar. First, I do believe that in agency jobs there is no expectation they will hold your job for you. That's the trade-off we make for having flexible hours. In...

    Is this a crime?

    nursel56 replied to itsybitsy's topic in General Nursing

    I see. I think my mind got stuck on the trashy, bloodied-up, fake injuries part of it, and an amusing mental image of patient's reaction to that person stepping into the waiting room and calling in...

    Is this a crime?

    nursel56 replied to itsybitsy's topic in General Nursing

    From what you're saying, I don't think most people will miss the idea that this is a spoof, or a parody. I'm not as familiar with Facebook terms of service as I am with Twitter, but the basic rule is...

    Finally a Registered Nurse after 4 times with NCLEX RN!

    nursel56 replied to HDHRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! Persistence is a quality that will serve you well in this

    Why are nurses sexualized?

    nursel56 replied to Sykadia's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes they come from Halloween costume catalogs, occasionally in tasteless television commercials, and sometimes on daytime television, such as the Dr.Oz show, which while not 100% sexy/naughty,...

    Patient without a bed ( or anything else)

    nursel56 replied to moonovermiami's topic in Private Duty

    That is awful, and yes, don't want you to compromuse their pruvacy or get too specific with details. My heart goes out to the client, who always gets the worst of it in disputes like

    Patient without a bed ( or anything else)

    nursel56 replied to moonovermiami's topic in Private Duty

    I have not heard of anything like that. On the surface, it makes very little sense, and to me it's inconceivable that a person who is dependent on the vent, the suction machine, oxygen, etc could...

    She doesn't say much...

    nursel56 replied to BabyFood26's topic in General Nursing

    Private Duty is the place to be if you like unique moments like that! If not for HIPAA I could probably go on for hours...the good,the bad, and the totally

    Insurance coverage for defamation, libel or slander

    nursel56 replied to RiskManager's topic in General Nursing

    I think so, too because I read most of the complaint via the links to court records AN posted on that announcement banner. They describe an exhaustive analysis of each person's posting habits, to...

    Hard Truth of Nursing

    nursel56 replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

    A career choice that brings you balance and more peace in your life wouldn't be a mistake. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves, but in reality a persistent feeling of unease in your choice doesn't...

    Professional (Dis) Courtesy

    nursel56 replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

    For me, it would depend on the circumstances. The reason I might tell someone is that they seem nervous. Maybe I see a disproportionate number of students in healthcare related programs who generally...

    Insurance coverage for defamation, libel or slander

    nursel56 replied to RiskManager's topic in General Nursing

    From what I see here discussing the test prep company, (unless some of it was deleted) is nowhere near the legal threshhold that would outweigh the right to free speech, so it is difficult to see...

    Insurance coverage for defamation, libel or slander

    nursel56 replied to RiskManager's topic in General Nursing

    Ladyfree and others named, so glad they haven't taken the wind out of your sails! I'm not a lawyer but this lawsuit appears to be completely bogus! Not the least of which is that one of the elements...

    Good on you, Magnoliaflowers..." look the other way" is the prevailing attitude with so many of our peers in home health as

    One thing i dont understand(at the nurses' station)

    nursel56 replied to BellaCat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand the frustration there. Having lived in an area where Tagalog is just one of many languages I hear my coworkers speaking, I believe most of the time they don't intend to be rude, and......

    Am I wrong for thinking that this APRN was wrong?...

    nursel56 replied to bekind_andtrue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Previous posters made the points I agree with but I would also ask what type of input are you seeking? You never mentioned anything about working things out with your new co-workers, or whether or...

    Nurse License Revocation

    nursel56 replied to TSWeaver's topic in General Nursing

    With an LVN license revocation, it would be the BVNPT, just a technical point along with the technically correct terminology in this instance being RN, since the topic is licensing. The reporting...

    I messed up

    nursel56 replied to magslu's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That should not discourage you from nursing-- these types of interpersonal conflicts are not at all unusual. Nursing is not like any other field, but a rough patch doesn't mean you don't have...

    A little frustrated/confused about BSN/ADN

    nursel56 replied to hellfirecat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Best wishes to you, and be forewarned that your experience may (probably will) occur again-- same insecure people with their un-researched proclamations, plug in the circumstances. You want to work...

    Actual handwashing vs. sanitizer

    nursel56 replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer the soap and water route, too. A while back I delved into the research behind the guidelines and the results indicated sanitizer was more effective than soap and water. I have to admit that...
