   ShockMe replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

   I am sorry you are confused. I have already told you my job. Please stop asking for personal details. That is NOT what this topic is about. If you continue to prod for irrelevant and personal information I will have to report you.

2. Refusing to change/toilet pts

   ShockMe replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

   Okay, let's take it down a notch. I understand that YOU have had a pt gasping for air, but that is not at all any of the situations I've whitnessed. *Army Medic* here, I know what an emergency/urgency is, like the one you are describing. There is a n...

   You are correct, the person saying that is a Vice President.

4. Refusing to change/toilet pts

   ShockMe replied to ShockMe's topic in General Nursing

   Okay, nobody is gasping for air. That person's comment was far off base. Communication is fine at this hospital, everybody has locators. By refusing I mean, REFUSING. I see nurses REFUSING to help the CNA change their total pt, telling them to go get...

8. Tatts and HIPAA

   ShockMe replied to ShockMe's topic in HIPAA

   Thank you Jory. I know that reporting a tattoo is not my responsibility and that my job is not to play detective. However, your "third/fourth" points....yes...and I don't want to get into any detail. But yes, based on what the PT said to me my obliga...

9. Tatts and HIPAA

   ShockMe replied to ShockMe's topic in HIPAA

   The reason for the visit had to be reported to the police. The PT was tight lipped about the situation -of course- so there was nothing in the chart about the events leading up to the visit or details/Hx about the PT. Eventually I got something out ...

10. Tatts and HIPAA

    ShockMe replied to ShockMe's topic in HIPAA

    Thank you for your reply. :) Yes the police had to be notified. The PTs type of tattoo is a gang tatt that they all have- not just here where I live- everywhere this gang has territory. And there are many variations of the tattoo, I didn't get specif...

11. Tatts and HIPAA

    ShockMe posted a topic in HIPAA

    Okay I know HIPAA is an exhausted topic but I would appreciate some input on this matter. Had a PT who had a questionable tattoo (and the reason for the visit also indicated suspicion) so I asked my husband who works in law enforcement what the tatt...
