   You are right, I do know what I did was wrong and I had to learn the hard way. Hospital did say it would have been a level 3 HIPAA violation for an employee. That being the worst level I was shocked to hear that being it was my mom, I did not disclos...

2. HIPAA violation

   NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

   And it's over. Instructor made it her dying wish to make the hospital agree on not allow me on the facility as a student. I was so close to getting put back in the program to finish up so I could take my boards. She made it her goal to make sure I di...

   Thanks for all the replies. I was in a BOCES program of 30 students if that helps at all.. Apparently the hospital had no idea of the situation, is going no further, instructor said they will not allow me to do clinicals on site at that hospital, hos...

6. HIPAA violation

   NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

   Hospital said they're not doing anything, it's up to the school. School isn't doing anything, I was just dismissed. Screwed up part is, after this happened, instructor had hospital IT pull everyone's history and many others have done the same. They a...

   NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

   It is not that I do not like what I am being told, it's the way it is being told. I appreciate the honesty as that is what I was seeking, but I didn't think some responses would be so rude.

8. HIPAA violation

   NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

   Makes me want to give up and just go a different route from the lack of empathy that I thought was a characteristic in all nurses.... I'm depressed and feeling like a lost cause and this thread has only worsened these feelings triple. You never know ...

9. HIPAA violation

   NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

   Everyone has a right to their own opinion. Yes, I knew better; to ask my instructor about verbal consent!!!!!! HIPAA laws should have been TAUGHT specifically! Call "bs" all you want. We were never educated on consent of viewing charts, or as you say...

10. HIPAA violation

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    Well unfortunately the program lacked a lot of basics, that was not my fault. The fact that a previous instructor allowed us to look at every single pt chat r/t admission can make things a bit confusing... Pointing blame does me no good, but you stat...

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    So, I really did ruin any chance at becoming a nurse? I am not taking this very well at all and boy does that statement sting. I guess the truth hurts.........

12. HIPAA violation

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    I apologise; let me restate that because I was incorrect. Of course we were taught about hipaa, and yes, we signed a paper with the hospital on hipaa policy. We were not informed about viewing a family members charts with consent. I should have just ...

13. HIPAA violation

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    That's correct, my mom asked me to look at her progress report because they're telling her nothing. She's trying to fight with THEM. We were never taught about HIPAA and having permission.

14. HIPAA violation

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    I hope I don't have to go that route. I held a 97% average in clinicals, I would make a good nurse. I made a dumb mistake, but not to place blame, the program was not very thorough or organized. There were different instructors for each floor and on...

    Will this make it difficult for me to get into the medical field if the hospital does nothing?
