   Should handshaking be obliterated from our culture?

   JKL33 replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

   “On Call” for Full Time RN

   JKL33 replied to RNinVA2025's topic in General Nursing

   We have gone back and forth here in the past about whether or not being on call is burdensome enough that it deserves pushback. To me that is not the issue. My view is that it is a service...

   NJ RN Renewal—error on application question

   JKL33 replied to Wagster55's topic in General Nursing

   OP, can you clarify this? What do you mean you received monetary damages? Was this in the form of unpaid days off as part of your discipline or some sort of actual fine or...? Very sorry you are...

   CCU vs ER

   JKL33 replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

   I can see how it's nice to know for the next nurse's assessment and have no problem with that. For the consent, yeah it's nice to know but ultimately the surgeon is legally responsible for...

   CCU vs ER

   JKL33 replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

   ^ These things exactly. I had typed a reply earlier that said the same but accidentally deleted it. This is a decision based on personality, IMO, and whether a person enjoys the deep dive,...

    Time Stamping in Standards of Care policies

    Big issues at work

    JKL33 replied to Lindsey Oldag's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the above. Likely worse before better. Unfortunately the numbers are a separate factor that is not in your favor. This DON brought SEVEN people to this employer along with herself, so...
