HouTx, BSN, MSN, EdD Specializes in Critical Care, Education. Has 35 years experience. Jan 30, 2017 My organization isn't any different from others in this part of the country. Job Shadowing is no longer permitted in our facilities due to HIPAA & other liability issues. This would be especially true in OR and all other peri-operative areas, where patients are at their most vulnerable. Is there something about CRNA practice that you're curious about? If so, you could go to the CRNA forum here on AN. I'll bet they'd respond to you. 0 Likes
Jules A, MSN Specializes in Family Nurse Practitioner. Jan 30, 2017 My facility allows it with an existing employee from another department and my OP practices allow a nurse to shadow me with a confidentiality signature and patients consent although psych might be a bit more laid back than some of the other areas like surgery etc. I normally am willing to offer up one shadow shift although I prefer 3-4 hours which should be sufficient to get a glimpse into my routine and yet not considerably slow me down. 0 Likes
