    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    JadedCPN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Again I’m not sure why I’m indulging you but maybe it’s the wine talking. I can’t speak for everyone but I don’t think most think you’re an awful person, and I do think some of your posts...

    Patient filed a sexual harassment complaint. HR wants to talk to me

    JadedCPN replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Yes to what everyone else has said. But I especially agree with JKL, I would still be consulting with a lawyer and asking the lawyer what their recommendation is but wouldn’t tell the employer that...

    Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Hopefully if you had concerns about the mental capacity and competency of a patient to safely make those decisions, you would intervene as well. Surely you experience this in your setting. It isn't...

    Getting fired by a patient/ family member

    JadedCPN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I've been fired less than a handful of times over my 15 years, all for "silly" reasons and nothing legitimate. The very first time was a tough pill to swallow, not just because it was the first time I...
