If you are sure your concern is to be sure the right thing is being done, and not because the instructor is "trying to fail" you then talk to your program director. You should NOT speak to the hospital yourself

As a student it is probably best to keep your thoughts to yourself. I suppose you could go to your program director and tell her your story but be sure your concern over reporting this isn't because that instructor is trying to fail you.There are st...

BREATHE! Your work load will be bigger. You turn patients over as quickly as possible so it is entirely possible to have several different patients in your rooms but you are never alone. Everyone jumps in to settle patients in or in a crisis then ...

I am sorry my pet peeve...it is HIPAA not HIPPA. It is also the assumption of privacy....at the train accident scene it is a public event/scene. Admitted to the hospital/ED now gives the patient the protection of privacy Best rule of thumb....NEVER ...

No they can put not for rehire for any reason. Yes...that is true if they don't like you or you are not a "good fit" AND if you are within probation they can fire you for combing your hair different.ANYWHERE you work without a written contract...you ...

I am so sorry this is happening to you. It is one of those things we learn growing up that there is actually very little protection for you under any law. Texas is a very strong "At Will" state.....This means they can pretty much do what ever they ...

Noctor Durse has been very nice to you. AN feels strongly that students post what they think, or what their research has revealed to them, and their work on a math problem so we can best answer the student questions appropriately without just givin...

OP....I don't know the actual situation but riding in the back of the ambulance trying to balance assessment while the ambulance is moving and turning is a task itself. To do that while using a stethoscope is asking for a perforation of your tympani...

In cases like these I feel there is a systems failure. Where I have worked I have facilitated "RESTRAINTS RENEWAL" in the OE to flag to the MD that the order needs to be renewed.....BEFORE the order expires. If I came in to an expired restraints ord...

My daughter rented a few from amazon....they were in good shape and return was easy. She likes them

HI! Welcome to AN! The largest online nursing community! We are happy to help! What semester are you? What does your textbook say? We are always happy to help but we ask ALL students to post what their r4esearch has revealed first so we can jump ...

"PRATTLE" interesting word. Prattle, talk at length in a foolish or inconsequential way. I don't think that drawing attention to a valuable nursing skill is "prattling". In every aspect of nursing we must do tasks that place us face to face with t...

((HUGS)) Come and vent any time ((HUGS)) No one deserves to be treated poorly. I have found that people who make it a point to make other people feel bad do so because they feel bad about themselves. Chin up!

First...it is HIPAA not HIPPA...lol This is one of those issues best brought to your manager and risk management/lawyers. When there is criminal activity/investigation HIPAA allows disclosure....but this person had served their time. The courts fel...

If I had a dime for every time I annoyed a physician....I would be rich! Well done! You advocated for your patient and prevented an untoward outcome

It is national accreditation you seek

Why do you ask? Is this a homework question? What NSAID? Some NSAIDS can effect/potentiate anti-coagulants. What is the patients hx?

Why was the patient being washed up in trendelenburg?

There are all kinds of things in the TOS. I don't think we really need to add more. I never really minded filling out the occasional interview homework. I felt these assignments were, well, juvenile. However as time has gone by and the internet h...

How about nursing unions with TUFTS hospital in Boston in the news?

I am trying to remember.....this was back in the eighties. I remember that we were ALL infected that worked that night. I don't remember it being that delayed and I remember that we all started itching about the same time.Advice to note: Lindane l...

I too found myself in a position like you and being unable to work the "usual" hours. I have a BSN and 39 years experience in ICU, ER, Trauma flight, teaching, management/director., I have looked for every home triage, insurance triage, insurance h...
