    How are 'access to medical records' audited/checked/flagged?

    bananas1 posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I do not live in the US and we don't have HIPAA here, but obviously all access to patient's medical records are logged and auditable and we are not allowed to look in charts of patients that we aren't...

    Day shift or night shift - Which do you prefer? Why?

    bananas1 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Where I live everyone does rotating rosters, either eight hour mornings/afternoons/nights or 12 hour days/nights. I can't imagine only doing one type of shift. I feel like you'd miss out on a lot if...

    How to properly dilute morphine?

    bananas1 replied to Almostanurse19's topic in Patient Medications

    I don't know much about morphine but I am guessing it was probably 4mg/ml.. so by taking 1ml out you would have your 4mg. Why it went in saline I don't know

    IV Fluids Infiltrated w/o pain?

    bananas1 replied to jberna4's topic in Patient Medications

    Not quite the same because my patients don't talk, I'm in the NICU and sometimes that happens to our babies. A puffy arm is really obvious in the really little bubs, but the chubby term ones with a...

    Nursing fields suited for physical limitations/chronic illness

    bananas1 replied to Watki22's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Trust me my post didn't come out as nearly as rude as I had intended. We're supposed to be nurses, encouraging and enabling people to achieve what they want. I know a med-surg nurse with anaphylactic...

    Nursing fields suited for physical limitations/chronic illness

    bananas1 replied to Watki22's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    That's so rude and I totally disagree. 1 - so many people go into nursing but do NOT want to be bedside nurses. Anyone going into primary health/public health or school nursing. That's a huge number...

    PCU Nurse Feels "Second Rate"

    bananas1 replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Nursing

    ? Can I just say, don't put ICU nurses on a higher pedestal.. just a different one!!! While they may be able to care for sicker patients, they may struggle to deal with the caseload a PCU nurse may...

    Late to clinical

    bananas1 replied to JePierreB's topic in General Students

    Please don't stress! Things happen like that when you become an RN and you're not going to lose your licence over it. People have got their shifts mixed up and not realised they're working. Lots of...

    Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    bananas1 replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    You may have completed all the difficult classes, but you've clearly missed the section on mental health, stress and anxiety.. because it appears you can't comprehend how some people find things...

    Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    bananas1 replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Honestly I think patients have every right to request a certain gender nurse. And especially have the right to refuse a student watching them have an intimate procedure done. I'm an RN and we had a...

    Checking vitals on staff

    bananas1 replied to kelsie*bear's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    bananas1 replied to 2018nurseandbeyond's topic in General Nursing

    You did everything you could. I have never had to do CPR, but I can imagine once it's done.. I would probably step away and cry. I can just imagine. About the dream.. ugh I feel you so bad on this...

    Would you be insulted?

    bananas1 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Yea i'd be upset about that, I'd hate to think someone thinks poorly of me, given it's unjustified I'd say it's just her being petty and silly. I'm just currently being a preceptor to a nursing...

    Case Study: HIPAA violation or not?

    bananas1 replied to Allmy?'s topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am pretty sure taking photographs on personal gadgets is forbidden without consent, especially showing it to a class of nursing students. You'd need signed consent for that at least. I've used my...
