    DUI suspect gets $15,000 for forced catheterization

    Balder_LPN replied to Balder_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I know, thats what the article sounds like. I can hardly beleive a cop would try that, I am going to see if I can find some more info on this. I mean that would be a felony, "Practicing nursing w/o a...

    Balder_LPN replied to Suninmyheart's topic in General Nursing

    I just dont think an officer should have that kind of a blanket policy, as another poster said I'm not going to chase a cop down for a tciket after I got a warning. I understand professional...

    I'm just curious, does this work for guy nurses too? 'cause I'm graduating next month and that would be way cool. I remember when my exwife was working in an ER and got let off by a cop who recognized...

    Does this scare anyone but me?!?!?!?!?

    Balder_LPN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    After spending a year in the ER, I agree with you about that. NO WEAPONS in the ER EVER! It needs to be written up as a policy, then there would be no issues about it. I'm concerned about an RN...

    Nursing Patches?

    Balder_LPN replied to nurscestudent's topic in General Nursing

    soaking is something old fashioned I think. If the patch or uniform is going to shrink and they are sewn together first then you get perm wrinkles around the patch. Not likely a problem with the...

    family thinks I'm MD

    Balder_LPN replied to trmr's topic in General Nursing

    And I thought I was getting out of that when I left the computer field! I think I choose the only job people ask for more free advice than computer geeks. I had co-workers call me at home on weekends...

    Mandatory CNA!!!!

    Balder_LPN replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    Plus, it seems to me that there are almost always 1 or 2 in a CNA class who are pursuing nursing as a career that decide this isnt for them. Saves themselves from investing in a bunch of school and...

    Nurses have a 'need to know' outcomes!!!

    Balder_LPN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    You have hit the nail right on the head here. HIPAA does allow for QA/QI release of information. HIPAA is so often misunderstood, and people have been overreacting to it since the beginning. (1997,...
