   Unlicensed personnel performing RN functions

   JKL33 replied to Tigerlily8's topic in Safety

   Sounds pretty sketch to me but the devil is in the details as always. You'd have to check your state NPA and regulations that pertain to your particular care setting.

   Burned Out Instructor

   JKL33 replied to RN0599's topic in Educators

   I just happened across your post; I do not have any experience being an educator. I just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear of this; I does indeed sound very stressful and completely unsustainable. Your physical and mental health and well-being are impo...

   Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

   JKL33 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   Nope. I know you meant to be inflammatory but that accusation isn't really appropriate for this scenario. This is an issue that matters, a person died directly because of the recklessness and negligence of a nurse. There is quite a contingent set on ...

   Radonda Vaught is charging $10,000 per speaking engagement.

   JKL33 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   Does that seem wrong to you? Not speaking in strictly legal terms here, but do you think that getting KILLED because of a mistake like that is not a wrongful death? ("Ooops, guess that was the gas pedal!") What kind of malarkey is that...

   My patient doesn't want to work with me at all and it's hurtful

   JKL33 replied to dsaprog's topic in General Nursing

   Did you make a second look for the active order after he told you he thought there was one, or not? And did you report to the oncoming RN that this was a pending issue? Those details aren't entirely clear from what you wrote. *If you did those t...

   Question on boilerplate text in chart notee

   JKL33 replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   Though not so funny when some of this stuff can be billed (and likely is being billed) on the back end.

   💔 nurse about to become a dog groomer

   JKL33 replied to CWS RN's topic in General Nursing

   I have no doubt that dog grooming has its significant challenges doing it day in/day out, but man. This is one of the dumber things reported here - - and whyyyyyy it must involve a warning of any kind? Well, that's the nursing/healthcare part. T...

   Question on boilerplate text in chart notee

   JKL33 replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   I would let them know this isn't okay with me. It's kind of a deal-breaker if you know it isn't being done yet have no control over signing these charts containing false information. And yes, it seems unlikely that sort of a move is ever going to am...

   Asking for my job back?

   JKL33 replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

   This is a matter of mindset and at the roughly 2-year mark I think it's an unfortunate one. No doubt close to a year of your time in nursing so far has been in training mode. You have room to grow professionally. And personally. Dang, I spe...

    Did I make an error?

    JKL33 replied to Wolfmoon_'s topic in General Nursing

    Manager is the one who should be on a PIP. I bet that unit is full-on toxic.

    JKL33 replied to Wolfmoon_'s topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you were working on the situation. Regarding the quote above: This person does not mean to be helpful or instructive with their comments--the type which are often not directed as a personal instruction but are spewed out hars...

    Write up

    JKL33 replied to Stacie Cavazos's topic in General Nursing

    If you're saying that you filled out the paperwork with one of the patients' health information and then sent the paperwork to an entity that had nothing to do with the situation then yes technically that is an inappropriate disclosure of what is lik...

    Humiliated and scared

    JKL33 replied to Overthamoon's topic in General Nursing

    The OP did not get a CT scan because her employer demanded it d/t her falling asleep at work. S/he got a CT scan due to the assessment by the EP. That has been my belief/suspicion all along. Since this thread is still ongoing with people still p...
