Rita Batchley @thenursesnurse:"The Nurses Nurse is the pen name for Rita Batchley, an RN, and healthcare activist who wants you to be aware of the healthcare injustices that are occurring everyday, and the real-life role registered nurses play to save you from disaster. After reading her novel, Labor Pains, you will understand the truth behind insurance companies and what you can do about it. People trust that RNs care. For the seventh year in a row, the Gallop poll ranked nurses highest as the most trusted profession. Now,with the advent of healthcare reform, nurses will have even greater challenges seeing that patients get the kind of treatment they need, as well as protection from serious harm. Remember: A doctor will admit you to the hospital but it's the nurse who will make sure you get to go home."

    Privacy Rights and Asking an Employee to Give You Their Facebook Password

    By Eric B. Meyer

    A few weeks ago, I wrote about how the Maryland Department of Corrections was facing heat from the ACLU for requiring job applicants to divulge their Facebook passwords. It seems that the Department of Corrections has listened (not to me, but to the ACLU).

    The ACLU’s statement

    Below are sections of the ACLU’s response to the Maryland Department of Corrections’s decision to no longer require Facebook passwords from job applicants as condition of employment.

    The government should not ask people to “volunteer” access to their private, personal communications. If the term “chilling effect” describes anything, it describes this. Few job applicants, eager to please a prospective employer, are going to feel genuinely free to decline to give up their information. Under the DOC’s reasoning, it would be equally permissible (and logical) for them to ask that job applicants volunteer to have the DOC monitor all of their calls, read all of their e-mail, look at all of their letters, and search their houses on demand. The fact that no employer would think of “asking” that strongly indicates how improper it is, and how improper this is.”
