  1. HIPAA violation

    NovaNala posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in; or was in an LPN program in NY. During clinical, I looked at my mom's chart on the computer (she is a patient at the hospital I was having clinical) with her permission. I was dismissed from...

  2. HIPAA violation

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    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...

  3. 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...

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    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...

  7. 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...

  8. HIPAA violation

    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

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. 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...

  12. HIPAA violation

    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

  13. 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...

  14. 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

  15. 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....

  16. HIPAA violation

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    Will this make it difficult for me to get into the medical field if the hospital does

  17. HIPAA violation

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    I am going to guess that dismissal from the nursing program will not be the only discipline I will receive. I am so ashamed, I never would look at a patient's chart that wasn't assigned to me; my...

  18. HIPAA violation

    NovaNala replied to NovaNala's topic in General Students

    What happens if the hospital doesn't go after me? Is it still on my record forever? I know this is the worst thing I could have ever done and I still don't know what I was thinking. I am terrified, as...
