    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Wuzzie replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I will clarify it for you then. You gave two options as indicated by the “or” (my bold). The first option (prior to the “or”) does nothing to prevent harm to the patient and, in fact,...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Wuzzie replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, with an expectation that it is done in a timely manner that allows for an intervening plan to be formulated. By and large it doesn’t take an extraordinary amount of time to come up with a...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Wuzzie replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    Noooo, this is what you said. You added this as an option. Your presumption is incorrect. Outside of emergent, life-threatening findings the radiologist do not call the providers...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Wuzzie replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    How is that any different? You still have a patient with a report that they don’t understand and looks to them like their cancer is back or progressing. What is the value in having that report...

    Buying a House on a Nurse's Income: How Do Nurses Afford $450,000+ Houses?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    My house is small and old (120 yrs old to be exact) in my budget and all my friends want it so I wouldn’t dismiss those kind of homes out of the gate. Also, after some sweat equity my house is...

    You can’t really think a generic note like this will make a difference? A personal note from the provider sure but an auto-response? Come

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    Wuzzie replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You do realize that this is the first time in history that a vaccine has been rolled out to combat an active pandemic of the pathogen for which the vaccine is intended? I really hope, as a nurse, you...

    ED Nursing

    Wuzzie replied to Kbelle's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, be ready to do a complete 180 when it comes to how your nursing care is delivered. The whole point of an ED visit is to rapidly diagnose and/or treat life threatening medical conditions, rule out...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Wuzzie replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I think I was also clear in my first post that I agree that the ridiculous hoop jumping previously required for a patient to see their record was unacceptable but I do not think that this is the way...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Wuzzie replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is if we are to follow the federal guidelines we can't make any adjustments as they are very clear regarding exemptions to the real-time release rules. This particular encounter did not...

    Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Wuzzie replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I very clearly stated that we did not discuss the patient with the family member. HIPAA does not preclude us from listening to what they have to say, especially if the patient is perceived to be in...

    Wuzzie replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    It is an issue on telephone triage. For example, we had a family member call in about their loved one who was not caring properly for themselves and had expressed hopelessness with some disturbing...

    Wuzzie replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I used the term angst because it’s the best description for what most of us are feeling at this time and your post sounded a bit...hopeless. What I disagree with is the idea that the virus...

    I can certainly understand your angst about this but what sources are you following that are telling you this? The sources I rely on are not at all in line with what you are

    Getting Flack For Not Getting Covid Vaccine

    Wuzzie replied to EDnurseAmen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Frankly, I’m not overly fond of anyone telling me who I’m “made in the image” of. I find it a bit uppity that they think they know more about me than I do.
