1. Is this legal?

   jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

   Yep, after thinking it over you are spot on. I think her "My advanced degree vs your google research" comment sort of embarrassed me for her (we may think that, but to say it directly to a large audience of people you know is apt to really turn off ...

2. Is this legal?

   jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

   FolksBtrippin, I was asking. I wasn't sure if there were legalities involved in making an assumption of an established provider-client relationship. There is some assumption of liability when giving advice to your neighbors...

3. Is this legal?

   jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

   That's just one example. She does get more detailed with her advice.

4. Is this legal?

   jessimee posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm just curious about the legality of something. There is a newly minted FNP in my neighborhood who frequents the neighborhood Facebook page giving medical advice. There was a discussion going on today about the flu shot and she made the statement...

5. Internal transfer--can your hourly pay change?

   jessimee posted a topic in General Nursing

   For example, you are a certified med-surg RN (your facility pays you extra for being certified) with "x" years of experience and you transfer to the case management department as an RN. You are not a CCM. Can your organization lower your pay rate?

6. Break Relief RN

   jessimee replied to nwnikki's topic in Med-Surg

   I work as the "resource nurse" on a med-surg unit. We typically have more surgical patients than medicals, so we have lots of admissions/discharges. I work 7-3, weekdays and my role includes helping with morning med pass (try to do one patient for ...

7. Hospitals in Denver

   jessimee replied to bbmeg02's topic in General Nursing

   Of the three, I would recommend St. Anthony first. It is run by Centura, which is non-profit, and has a reputation for treating its nurses well. I work at another Centura facility and I find that to be true. Swedish is for-profit, run by HealthOne...

8. Don't do the physicians work!

   jessimee replied to ModernRN's topic in Relations

   We have a few physicians who refuse to learn Epic. I had one recently who couldn't figure out how to put a patient on the particular insulin regimen that he wanted. He ordered "something similar", asked us to fix it, and left. Not only did I then ...

9. Tell me why you regret about becoming a Nurse

   jessimee replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

   If I could do it all over again, I would choose to be a musician (stringed instruments). But, that being said, I am happy being a nurse. I have never held a nursing job or worked in a specialty that I didn't enjoy. As a nurse, I make enough money ...

10. Help with a slogan??

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    Im hoping to come up with something that represents who we are as a specialty.

11. Med Surg v.s. Pediatrics Nurse! Help!

    jessimee replied to Gr4ceffa's topic in Pediatric

    As a new grad, I worked as a pediatric med-surg nurse. I loved it but it was challenging as a new grad. We cared for all pediatric surgical patients in the hospital--everything from appendectomies to neurosurgeries, to urologic surgeries and orthop...

12. Help with a slogan??

    jessimee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi All--I work at a small-ish hospital and some of the units have hoodies that they are allowed to wear at work (our uniform policies are otherwise pretty strict) with slogans/logos on them that represent their unit. ICU, for example has a slogan ab...

13. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in Relations

    Thank you all for your thoughtful responses--I appreciate them all! My plan to deal with this is as follows--I will continue to not engage with her, acknowledge her frustration and move on. I will encourage anyone who approaches me with a concern (...

14. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in Relations

    Thank you. With this particular individual, it is mostly behind people's backs. And it's constant. And yes, it's shoes and hair comments, but it's also complaints about their work habits, what they've done that is "totally stupid", how she can't be...

15. Should mean people be allowed to be mean at work?

    jessimee replied to jessimee's topic in Relations

    To the poster who said it sounds like I've been talking about her quite a bit--I actually haven't been talking about her quite a bit. I just try to avoid her and when she does approach me and tries to engage me, I politely acknowledge that she's fru...
