    How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Not knowing the advanced assessment skills can be traced entirely back to the school. I had to look up the advanced assessment skills on my own, particularly in orthopedics, in order to learn them...

    Vocera! Can you talk to...?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Always loved it when I was trying to be discreet about taking a quick bathroom break and that sucker blares out my name giving me away. Embarrassing as all get out and you're trying to whisper that...

    My voluntary alcohol detox was reported to the board..?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to MsLuckyWon's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know this is late and I apologize, but if you notified the facility you went to that you're a licensed nurse they likely reported it while you were there. The facility I worked for that treated both...

    I got a verbal warning for not greeting the new Director of Care?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. How dare you not welcome Cersei to the management team with a bended knee and all the respect the crown deserves. Jesus. Surely this will be a bright and happy kingdom. I feel for you. This one...

    Sexually assaulted at work

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Thinkingx's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really sorry this happened to you. To be honest, being assaulted after being left alone in an inpatient psychiatric facility ward (second actual assault in three months and another near assault in...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    My entire point is you cannot know whether your coworker is or is not "really sick," can you? (Unless they're special enough to be posting proof on social media/bragging about it.) You can only know...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    How much of it is their business? Their coworker's chronic illness? Perhaps that they've requested accommodations and have been refused? Treatments they're receiving to try and get back on track?...

    What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't make it my personal business to judge the validity of someone else's illness, pain, or need to take a day to themselves. Staffing grids are designed, by the employer's choice, so that staff...

    Nursing Products We'd Like To See

    HarleyvQuinn replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Just make an Ativan or sedative diffuser for the whole milieu when they're getting rowdy. Or the offices of administration. That way, we can get actual work done without being disturbed by desk-rider...

    I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    I'm doomed.

    Leaving Work / Nurse Duties Incomplete Passing To Night Shift

    HarleyvQuinn replied to coffeeandvendingmachines's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, the ever-going war between days and nights. I agree with another poster, it really is most noticeable when you are short-staffed, to begin with. Add in last-minute admissions, especially with...

    If I Don't Laugh, I'll Cry: Nursing Things that are so Frustrating They're Funny

    HarleyvQuinn replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Every single staff meeting. Every single time. They refused to update staff who couldn't make it by sending an email with updates to policy changes/information on what was said in the meeting. Would...

    Am I fired? CNA Checking Blood Sugar

    HarleyvQuinn replied to oldie's topic in General Nursing

    The inpatient psych unit I worked in had cameras as all psych units do and they say that's only for patient/staff safety in case of aggression/violence. Unfortunately, management used the security...

    I Need Help

    Virginia currently does this. Even if you're admitted for something such as severe depression/suicidal ideation and it's due to situational circumstances. They report

    opioids

    HarleyvQuinn replied to suturethis's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I want to second what Hppy stated. Not everyone expresses pain the same way, and this can even be a cultural difference. I was in significant and worsening pain the first night after a subtalar fusion...

    New job. Got injured. Fired for unexcused absences during new hire probation period... what did I do wrong?

    HarleyvQuinn replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    They would see as omitting information that they would find relevant. Usually, they require you to fill in jobs within the previous 5 years or some other time-related requirement. This avoids the...

    New nurse needs advice. Might be let go at end of orientation

    HarleyvQuinn replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else. If you're only receiving feedback at the end of your preceptorship, they've failed you. I've said the same to managers who want to write negative annual employee...

    Misconceptions/truths about specialities

    HarleyvQuinn replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. At least one of the hospital systems here offers them and I generally feel they're a good idea overall. I'd like to see them become more standard for the benefit of the profession, as well...

    Misconceptions/truths about specialities

    HarleyvQuinn replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely. Our program has more than 600 hours built into it. I was also looking into a fellowship or post-masters cert for specialty afterward, anyway. Our state also has a two-year requirement of...

    Misconceptions/truths about specialities

    HarleyvQuinn replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It had to be. We were kicked out of the hospitals/clinics during clinical rotations due to the COVID-19 situation, so they came up with other solutions for a certain number of hours that would be...

    New Grad RN on L&D unit. Discouraged and questioning my nursing career.

    HarleyvQuinn replied to RNeileen's topic in General Nursing

    Taking the reassignment to postpartum is a great idea. It keeps you in the realm of maternal-child health and gives you a chance to build your basic nursing skills while still focusing on your...

    How to handle gossip

    HarleyvQuinn replied to BillieReuben's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm really sorry that you're going through a hard time. When it comes to reactions like that, the part of me (very small) that still wants to see rainbows and sunshine in the world says this coworker...
