1. Tattle tale? Or my duty to report?

   58jeli replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

   Last try. I am not the OP and I would not report it. The OP was distressed over reporting it or not. To contact a nurse I would leave a personal note. If she's not interested that's fine. Then the OP is back to her original 2 choices.

2. Tattle tale? Or my duty to report?

   58jeli replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

   Ok just to be clear I am not the OP and I would not go to the office. The OP's core question was, report the matter or ignore it in angst? I'm suggesting a 3rd alternative that cuts through the confusion and avoids blindsiding a co-worker. Ok forget...

3. Tattle tale? Or my duty to report?

   58jeli replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

   "I totally understand it's not so easy to just leave a note for a nurse you never see or have met to "meet for coffee to discuss" in a night shift private duty pediatric scenario. That would backfire or at least be laughed off on most of the cases I...

4. Tattle tale? Or my duty to report?

   58jeli replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

   Sorry I just re-read that she's the regular nurse who's worked there for years. I'd still leave a note to ask her to coffee as a professional courtesy. I'd pick her brain about his history, how he's changed since she's been taking care of him. Then a...

5. Tattle tale? Or my duty to report?

   58jeli replied to CloudySue's topic in Private Duty

   Leave the nurse a note with a smiley face to call you, or go out to coffee. Be friendly, review the case and ask about the particulars. "That night of x when the sats were 93, you know we can titrate o2 from x to x" and "If you include xyz in your n...

   Is mom experienced in foster care? If she's newer perhaps she felt alarmed and defensive. Is English a second language for mom (or the pt?) I could see how "the baby's rolling away from you to the other side of the bed" could be confused. Same with ...

8. I need your advice on dealing with people who try to treat me like I'm stupid

   58jeli replied to zaggar's topic in Relations

   I like to keep an internal dialogue running to the effect of "I know all about you. You've been at every job I've ever had. But I've been picked on by some of the Best and frankly, your skills are nowhere near theirs" etc. And let my memory drift ba...

9. Are they lying or are they confused?

   58jeli replied to Alnitak7's topic in Relations

   Sometimes they confabulate, attempting to convince others and themselves that they are not confused.

11. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    58jeli replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Hunt

    "My question to the older workers who are new grads is why do you feel like you deserve jobs over the younger new grads? I feel like if anything, the older workers seem more entitled than younger workers." When people around you are acting and behavi...
