    HIPAA and court orders and custody oh my!

    beachynurse replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree totally. Unless Mom can produce something legally binding from the court barring Dad from the information, your office might be in more trouble with holding the information from Dad if he...

    Can I lose my license for this?

    beachynurse replied to Connor's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Your friend has it for memories? I think this is an odd thing to keep for a "memory" from clinical, especially when you know about HIPAA. Mentioning a patients name is a HIPAA violation so I would...

    HIPAA violation or no?

    beachynurse replied to rachweys123's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If you are no longer involved in the patients care, you really shouldn't be looking through the chart. Only care givers involved in care should have access. I don't know what your facilities policies...

    Temps at the door?

    beachynurse replied to cmh1118's topic in School

    I don't know how we could do it. We have almost 2,000 students, and only myself and my assistant. The students come in through about 8 entrances... I see a logistical

    Hopefully taking CNA classes soon, tips/tricks?

    beachynurse replied to transparentChaos's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've taught C.N.A.classes here in VA. I always told my students the there is the "state" way to do the skills and the working way to do them. Until you take the state test and pass it, you don't have...

    What are your views on switching days with people?

    beachynurse replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Our requests had to be in writing with both parties signatures agreeing to the switch and approved by management. Both parties got signed copies so there weren't any mess ups like that. I would be...

    DNR Policies in the School Setting

    beachynurse posted a topic in School

    In our school division, if a student comes in with a chronic illness and has a DNR, and something happens to the student, per our policy we are obligated to initiate CPR and any other life saving...

    DNR Policies in the School Setting

    beachynurse replied to beachynurse's topic in School

    We do remove students from the classroom in those circumstances. We are really questioning this policy, and want to challenge

    Covid-19 Parties

    beachynurse replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think that these people are very foolish, especially since some of those at the so called party could end up fatalities. I wouldn’t risk my life like that. Plus there isn’t enough known about...

    Critical students

    beachynurse replied to Purple036's topic in School

    I don't see how it can come back to the school if the student gets sick. Unless there is a widespread epidemic and no one is notified which I can hardly see happening, I think it would be up to the MD...

    Famous person as patient?

    beachynurse replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I took care of the parents of a pair of actors. The parents were absolutely delightful, kind, and never asked for special treatment. One of the children would bring a 6 pack of beer when visiting dad...

    Stolen supplies

    beachynurse replied to SchoolNurse91's topic in School

    I would be having the biggest temper tantrum my Principal has ever seen if that had happened, especially at this time. I have my gloves and masks hidden and locked up, because I have had supplies...

    Asthma, no inhaler, WWYD?

    beachynurse replied to nursex23's topic in School

    I had a kiddo with a 504 for a food allergy for 2 years while in high school. The student was desensitized and we no longer had orders for the epi-pen. Mom was told that he was no longer eligible for...

    Asthma, no inhaler, WWYD?

    beachynurse replied to nursex23's topic in School

    I'm in a high school and always keep tea and coffee in my clinic, plenty of sugar and no cal sweetener (for the girls). I use this to treat mild wheezing or chest tightness when there is no inhaler...

    Have you found yourself blurring the professional boundary?

    beachynurse replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I can easily see how boundaries can be crossed. We may be nurses, but we are also human beings with feelings too. I have had many a child that I felt would have had a better chance of success in life...

    Is it Friday yet?? (a cautionary tale about locked nurse room doors)

    beachynurse replied to jnemartin's topic in School

    I leave the clinic for an emergency in a classroom. There is a note on my LOCKED clinic door that clearly states that the clinic is closed for an emergency, please wait in the front office or guidance...

    Parent harassing me in clinic

    beachynurse replied to KiddoRN73's topic in School

    Another thing to remember, is that the CPS reporting process is confidential. We do not need to discuss it at all with any parent at all. Our coordinator has a saying tht I really love, " The CPS...

    Parent harassing me in clinic

    beachynurse replied to KiddoRN73's topic in School

    The designee would be a clinic assistant. In my school division, no one but the nurse or the clinic assistant will touch the meds. They don't want the responsibility of having to deal with being...

    HR wants meeting or report me to BON

    beachynurse replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I probably would have consulted an attorney before going to the meeting. The attorney can advise you whether to go, not go, and if you do go what to say and not to say. This is a CYA situation. Best...

    Terrible experience with nursing staff

    beachynurse replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    This post makes me very sad. I don't mean this in a cruel way, but if you knew that you were going to move to another country, you should research important aspects of the place, like banking, health...

    I hate to tell you I told you so........

    beachynurse replied to EnoughWithTheIce's topic in School

    I actually can't stand ice.I have to give ice out whether it's indicated or not. If a kid asks for it I have to give it. I had a sub nurse not give it to a student that requested it and the...

    Bill Approved to Limit Treatment for Transgender Youth

    beachynurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I totally agree with you. I see students in my school waver back and forth between sexes, not sure about what they are, and experimenting to as you say, "find themselves" This is why I think that...

    Coping with emergencies at any time.

    beachynurse replied to tomn13's topic in School

    I am afraid I am going to have to agree with Mr.NurseX2 on this one. Being a school nurse for the last 16 years, this is definitely not a job that I would reccommend going into with no or limited...
