    Wuzzie replied to hotdish22's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The problem is that discussing the investigation at this point likely reveals too much. Probably best to not mention it at all to anyone going forward. Including here on

    Investigation

    Wuzzie replied to hotdish22's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If you are using an EMR they can track who accessed what in the chart and when. If you truly did not access the chart any further you likely are okay but keep your computer locked down and try to stay...

    New Nurse, Med Error = Lost Job

    Wuzzie replied to NewRN9423's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos for recognizing that 10 weeks was not enough. Do you think an additional 2 weeks would have made a difference? Not being mean just trying to get an idea of where you are. A well-run residency...

    New Nurse, Med Error = Lost Job

    New Nurse, Med Error = Lost Job

    Wuzzie replied to NewRN9423's topic in General Nursing

    Critical thinking isn't really something you can learn from a book. Why don't you walk us through the events from the shift and we can maybe help you see where you went wrong (other than the obvious)...

    Wuzzie replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    I get that but the bottom line is it's my license and my responsibility to protect it. I'm not going to abdicate that responsibility to some bean counter. So if a drug requires a 2 minute push it's...
