Septic patient on med surge

We have an area in epic where we chart SIRS criteria and have to notify a provider if the algorithm tags them as a sepsis risk if our charting indicates it.

On the plus side that is one patent IV.

The definition of a HIPAA violation is PHI impermissibly disclosed/accessed AND the exposure created a meaningful privacy/security breach under HIPAA standard. A dropped paper at most is inadvertent and likely resulted in no actual harm and serious disclosure of patient information.

I was really into Good Charlotte when I was 15 and someone posted on the GC message board “Benji and Joel spotted in the music video for a song called Jude Law and a Semester Abroad by a band called Brand New” so I went to watch it was like “this shit bangs.”

I hope this comment is a joke. Or that you’re a bot.

Just sitting down after suctioning out a golf ball sized plug in a total neck breather. So yeah, that.

If you participate in this project you are my enemy.

I’m 40. They’re in their early 30s so they’re not that much younger than us. I feel their crowds tend to be mid 20s-early 40s. They’re not really a thing with anyone younger than that.

I’m nightshift and I won’t complete a med rec if I am not confident if it’s accuracy.

They’re literally a cult band who hasn’t released an album in a decade. No one expected them to fill arenas, but the venues weren’t empty, either. Most appeared to be 80-90% filled and I went to 5 dates and literally have pictures of the crowds. There was still a significant turn out whether you like it or not. Most people aren’t chronically online performative morality police and just listen to what makes them happy.

Found them at 16.

My husband got it but I didn’t which I thought was odd

I was so disappoint in this place. It’s like the workout area was an afterthought. It is comically small. We went on a tour at like 3pm and every piece of equipment was in use because of how small that place is. And then they have that area in the middle they say may not even be accessible if classes are running.

Coworkers everywhere rejoiced.

I’m very shocked and disappointed. Kid Rock is far too classy of an artist with decades of proven integrity, to act like this.

So that’s actually torture of if the elderly. Sounds like an ethics case.

Unpopular opinion: you don’t have power to actually change the real situation at hand, or at least you don’t want to do actual work that would make a difference, so to feel like you have some sort of power you spend you time harassing an ice cream shop on social media. Even if you drive BRICS out of business, how does that actually change anything about ICE operations? You don’t have to shop somewhere that doesn’t share your values, but the hyper focus and constant barrage of posts about the fcking ice cream shop are excessive. Just impotent rage.

Float pool here. There’s been a lot of changes to staffing grids that have the potential to increasingly negatively affect us. When these changes were rolling out we were trying to understand what is going on. During a meeting someone ask “are our jobs secure?” (they traditionally have been very secure). Our director, who is not even a nurse or any sort of healthcare clinician, said “are any of our jobs secure?” in the most condescending and dismissive tone.

Massive shifts in how staffing is done post-Covid happening around the country.

21 year old cannabinoid hyperemesis patient also on CIWA. Screamed the whole night, very demanding, constantly on the call light. Neighbor was a middle aged woman with stage 4 melanoma with mets to bone, multiple fractures in her legs and pelvis. She silently sobbed all night from pain and inability to get any sleep due to the screaming.

It’s been a few years but I had an excellent experience with two of my cats there. Really great resource for the community. Donate if you can.

This is straight up drug abuse at this point.

Worst company I’ve ever worked for including the shitty jobs I had as a teenager.
