    CamillusRN replied to GOMER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with caliotter - there's no happy ending with this tale. Either he will end up going and try to sue (bad for the hospital) or you end up taking the hike (bad for you). Not seeing any win-win....

    Nurse Recruiter and HIPAA violation?

    CamillusRN replied to SookieBSN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The recruiter had no right to access your history - this is both illegal and unethical. You certainly would have a case if you wanted to pursue the

    New Nurse

    CamillusRN replied to Zcarson's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was recently in your position as well. I was offered an ER position at a level 1 trauma center (my adrenaline junkie dream job) and an ICU position at a physician-owned heart hospital (my specialist...

    Starting an IV with Lidocaine or Not?

    CamillusRN replied to hayest's topic in Patient Medications

    I've been told by enough patients that they didn't feel anything with an IV start that I don't bother with the lidocaine. I typically will rub the crap out of the skin with alcohol swabs to exhaust...

    Do you talk to yourself?

    CamillusRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I often find myself arguing with myself about myself. I have even managed to win a few arguments! Seriously, though, it's a great way for me to process a decision thoroughly by objecting to my own...

    Things Little Old Ladies Say

    CamillusRN replied to raiisfun's topic in Nursing Humor

    Back in my CNA days, I was caring for a LOL who swore she was married to Chuck Norris. Whenever someone inquired about the photo of him on her wall, she would light up and say "yeah baby, he's my...

    can your DON tell you to completly change how you chart?

    CamillusRN replied to Animal House R.N.'s topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not sure how that could possibly work out. Can you use late entry notations and chart in the present tense that way? Either way, sounds like there needs to be a little bit more clarification on...

    CamillusRN replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Students

    This is a stretch to call HIPAA violation

    CamillusRN replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Absolutely not. And putting the reports in a sealed envelope won't prevent the patient from unsealing it and stowing it in the backpack either. It really boggles me how much the public still doesn't...

    CamillusRN replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students
