   Where Do I Go from here?

   JKL33 replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

   Oncology is an excellent place to learn so much nursing in my opinion. [Disclaimer for what I'm about to say: Yes, these elements can be found in other specialties.] Okay, with that said, oncology patients don't just have cancer...they have cancer pl...

   I Don't Get the Anxiety Part of Nursing

   JKL33 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

   I had an alert today that someone used the new "dislike" button to dislike something I wrote 3+ years ago. 😂 I confess I am somewhat curious about the reasons people interact with zombie discussions years later (especially like in the case of the dis...

   What made you quit?

   JKL33 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

   Ended my hospital career on this note: It was early during Covid and I was working per diem. Due to emergency changes there were not as many hours available for per diems as usual and quite a few of my coworkers (regular staff and per diems) wer...

   Novel Idea for Administrators

   JKL33 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

   Right. So just let the poster vent I worked ED for many years and heard innumerable times (and may have even said so myself 😶) that "at least you guys [M/S] can have all your beds full, we can't just put out the closed sign down here." In fact ...

   Med Error

   JKL33 replied to HawtMessRN's topic in General Nursing

   It is going to be okay. It really is. If you are the conscientious person that it sounds like you are, most likely this will help you pause and refocus, which is exactly what should happen. You've already identified factors that contributed t...

   OP hasn't been here since shortly after making the post over a year ago.

   I am really thinking this is not the right job for me - Am I Crazy?

   JKL33 replied to Birdsofprey's topic in Emergency

   At once? That just sounds stupid. High volume is one thing; high volume without anywhere near enough manpower quickly becomes intolerable. I think not wanting to practice that way is perfectly reasonable.

   Does TJC report to the board?

   JKL33 replied to Nurselady85's topic in HIPAA

   HHS Office of Civil Rights is responsible for enforcing HIPAA. I have no idea what TJC would have to do with it. Your former employer sounds less than stellar. It's a good idea to review HIPAA in general if you don't have a good understanding o...

    BD PYXIS ES

    JKL33 replied to Kimmie1298's topic in General Nursing

    Just guessing but it seems like the poster would be asking the question because they don't think they did what they are being accused of. Sure they know if another person was there with them; they don't recall being able to waste without that be...

    Novel Idea for Administrators

    JKL33 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there, Tweety. So much could be said but....already has been. I say practice nursing in the way that lets you sleep well at night knowing you did the best you could do with the hand you were dealt. Administration's fantasies are just tha...

    Will I ever get the hang of this?

    JKL33 replied to ML504's topic in General Nursing

    Well it's good that you've identified a need to improve in certain areas. I think now's the time to stop yourself every time you are about to run to a next task without charting what you just did--stop just long enough to ask yourself if that next th...

    Will I ever get the hang of this?

    JKL33 replied to ML504's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion you are finally just past the point where many of the basics shouldn't be as overwhelming, such as doing an assessment and documenting it, or doing an admission or safely administering medications without as many questions or calling a ...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. In fact I developed a bit of OCD (don't mean to use that term lightly but I don't have a better way to explain it at the moment) over the same type of issues. For a long time I had been soooo used to ondansetron/Zofran with the mint/bluish col...

    Imposter syndrome

    JKL33 replied to DoloresC14's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not being counseled by admin/preceptor about improvements that you need to make (in other words, if seem to be doing okay even though you may not feel like it) then carry on. Unfortunately I agree/would strongly advise against verbali...
