   JLBSN55 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in COVID

   Hi, I agree with you, not fair! We were left hanging by our coworkers when they should’ve had our backs and now they waltz back in and expect everything to go back to normal. The people that stayed with us throughout during the early months whic...

3. Where are the Nurses? Patient takes his inquiry about lack of nurses in the hospital to Heloise.

   JLBSN55 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   I do agree that sometimes we are understaffed, but there should be no good excuse to for nurses not to make rounds on patients. When I read something like this, I cant help but wonder if there is more to this post than just the nurse didnt come and c...

4. Write Up's and Potential Termination for Pain Reassessments

   JLBSN55 replied to MiralaxOnIceRN's topic in General Nursing

5. Can a registered nurse work as a medical assistant

   JLBSN55 replied to yourstrulynurse87's topic in General Nursing

6. Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

   JLBSN55 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   When something goes wrong, like the surgery for instance, people tend to blame then nurses, why didnt the nurse catch this...better question, how did this patient still make it to the OR and allowed to continue the procedure and no one catch this. If...

   JLBSN55 replied to hungup's topic in General Nursing

   We are suppose to keep busy. I use down time like this to make sure rooms are stocked and if everything seems good and still have time I usually do some online CEU's. If I am not busy, first thing I do is see if I can help my co-workers because they ...

   JLBSN55 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

   JLBSN55 replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

   Have you considered that if you are not happy that you are not utilizing your nursing skills to their fullest, then may be then school nursing may not be for you? I dont mean to come off sounding mean or anything, but it is something to think about.

10. Seeking Advice RN to BSN programs

    JLBSN55 replied to RobertJo's topic in Online Learning

    Now the ADN program teaches you more skill and basic nursing knowledge, and the BSN teaches more about leadership, critical thinking and looking at a patient differently, more of a whole. I agree, in state universities will have a lower cost than ou...

11. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    JLBSN55 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Humor

    All these shows, show the "doctors" always doing everything for the patient. When is the last time any one of you guys saw a doctor doing anything for a patient, like giving them a medication, lab draw, or starting an IV. With that said, it doesn't s...

12. Are all for-profit hospitals soul-sucking despots that truly only care about the bottom line

    JLBSN55 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I do not believe all for profit hospitals are necessarily soul sucking, but I do feel used sometimes by them. We do the hard work and they see all the benefits go straight into their pockets. I do see some for profit places where they do offer extens...

13. I was slapped by a patient

    JLBSN55 replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    This type of behavior needs to be reported and that is the only to get the word out that this behavior will not be tolerated at your facility. I do not know where this incident happened, but in Texas it is a third degree felony.
