   “On Call” for Full Time RN

   JKL33 replied to RNinVA2025's topic in General Nursing

   Oh boy... I'm me and you're you. But I would take the opportunity to let them actually do some planning on finding my replacement. I have low tolerance for being straight up treated like I am...

   Should handshaking be obliterated from our culture?

   JKL33 replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Should handshaking be obliterated from our culture?

   JKL33 replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

   Don't reciprocate if it makes you feel that way; don't violate yourself. Just smile and say "aw, no thanks, I don't shake hands but I'm glad to meet you." Pretty simple. It's fine that you...

   “On Call” for Full Time RN

   JKL33 replied to RNinVA2025's topic in General Nursing

   “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...

   JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

   NJ RN Renewal—error on application question

   JKL33 replied to Wagster55's topic in General Nursing

   I don't see why there would technically be a problem with the way you answered. In #2 all you (mistakenly) did was decline to give up your right to NOT incriminate yourself by answering question #3....

   JKL33 replied to 1 tired nurse'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

    JKL33 replied to Erin Michelle's topic in General Nursing

    Not to be dense but what you are asking might be a bit ambiguous or maybe it just isn't clear what other options you are considering. Yes, nursing care orders are often q4, q8, etc, etc. Those...

    Detection of Marijuana use in elevator while at work

    JKL33 replied to CharLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Just my personal opinion: IF another occasion arises that you feel compelled to report, I would not report any suspicions or possibility unrelated stuff like who talked to whom about when they...

    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...

    JKL33 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would follow employer's policy of limiting to temporary disability in this case. From what you have reported about the situation that's the extent of what you can fairly/honestly gauge anyway, and...
