  1. How serious is it if an employee accessed my personal and medical information without permission?

    nightwingcreations replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If I'm understanding it. Another nurse found your papers on the printer and gave them to you. She is not the one who printed them, she just found them. The software of course notes on it what user...

  2. Texas Midwife Arrested for Abortion Care

    nightwingcreations replied to Erin Lee's topic in Nursing News

    Also because I forgot to say this....I think they probably purposely picked her for the first case to prosecute for the very reasons that she was doing other illegal things. Makes her an easier target...

  3. Texas Midwife Arrested for Abortion Care

    nightwingcreations replied to Erin Lee's topic in Nursing News

    While I realize there is way more to this because of Texas abortion laws. There is also the fact that she did things that are not within the scope of practice for her in Texas. She had a "doctor" who...

  4. Call out

    nightwingcreations replied to BSNRN_'s topic in General Nursing

    You may not get fired but you sure aren't going to make any friends among your coworkers. I mean what are you, 4? Your birthday is just another day...happens every year. Same with Holidays in my...

  5. Nurse will not give report

    nightwingcreations replied to Guest26407's topic in General Nursing

    OP is Not giving the whole story there. saw this elsewhere and there is more to it. It is a Home health type setting and the rules are totally different there. Often written report is the policy or...

  6. Patient abandonment question

    nightwingcreations replied to Jackson1322's topic in General Nursing

    Actually yes, the lpn/ charge can do that if the supervisor is on the floor and takes a report off them and accepts the responsibility.And as upper management they pretty much have to accept it. No...

  7. Patient abandonment question

    nightwingcreations replied to Jackson1322's topic in General Nursing

    Notification is the key here. You said there were other cnas but they weren't helping you and there was an Lpn. But did you notify the charge person, the Lpn?, that you were leaving? As long as you...

  8. How should I handle CNA

    nightwingcreations replied to happymama's topic in General Nursing

    Ultimately the nurse is within her job description the one to delegate jobs to the nursing assistant.... It is his job to do as he is directed, as long as it's within his scope of practice. My answer...

  9. I give 2,640 meds to 35-40 residents by noon

    nightwingcreations replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This is normal Numbers of residents for Assisted Living and often a job for medaides....maybe not giving insulin but the meds for sure. You are not doing basically anything but passing pills, not...

  10. I give 2,640 meds to 35-40 residents by noon

    nightwingcreations replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    LOL, no your math was not wrong but you were basing it on giving meds every hour, that isn't happening in ASL,(or anywhere else really). Also all that is required to administer own meds is an...

  11. I give 2,640 meds to 35-40 residents by noon

    nightwingcreations replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I have my doubts about the numbers of meds the OP is claiming to be giving. That's 66 meds per person. Anyway, in ASL they take themselves to the bathroom and other stuff independently, many would...

  12. I give 2,640 meds to 35-40 residents by noon

    nightwingcreations replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Assisted living residents are considered mainly independent for cares so staff is very limited in that situation. I would say this is not an uncommon ratio for med passing. As a matter of fact our ASL...

  13. Weirdest nursing “fixes"

    nightwingcreations replied to Pres14's topic in General Nursing

    We did used to use the MOM and heat lamps on wounds, at the time the thought was to dry them out. LOL. We also used tape to tape buttocks open for the heat lamp... Coke is still used for unclogging...

  17. Did this nurse behave unethically?

    nightwingcreations replied to subee's topic in Nursing News

    "The nurse broke no laws by sending the police to the home to recover the contents of abortion; the fetus. " Really? Would it not be a HIPAA violation to tell the police that a...

  18. Was this self-disclosure to a patient okay?

    nightwingcreations replied to IreneTouTheou's topic in General Nursing

    HIPAA doesn't apply here. You were not discussing information about a patient in a facility you were working

  19. What was she thinking?!

    nightwingcreations replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Tenebrae. I tried for a civil answer to that but couldn't do it. I would of been kicked out of here.

  20. What was she thinking?!

    nightwingcreations replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    We have cordless phones in my facility that the nurses are supposed carry. They don't work most of the time, IDK if there's something interfering or to far from the base. Also we cannot take them...

    nightwingcreations replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  23. Phasing Out ADN?

    nightwingcreations replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    The whole idea is solely focused on hospital nurses. There is a large area of nursing jobs that do not pay better for a BSN over and ADN. It's like the push to do away with LPNs, who do they think...

  24. Why Those Who Work the Night Shift Actually Need Sleep During the Day

    nightwingcreations replied to Nursecon's topic in Nursing Career

    Worked nights for 22 years straight now, and sometimes before too. I don't need blackout curtains or anything like that these days. I sleep better in the daytime. I do have however the upper back...

  25. Have you ever left in the middle of a shift?

    nightwingcreations replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Not exactly, I work in a nursing home. Came in and find out I was scheduled as the only nurse for two floors, over 60 patients, and only 2 CNAs. I asked if they had even tried to find any help. The...
