   Question on boilerplate text in chart notee

   JKL33 replied to FullGlass's topic in NP

   I would let them know this isn't okay with me. It's kind of a deal-breaker if you know it isn't being done yet have no control over signing these charts containing false information. And yes, it seems unlikely that sort of a move is ever going to am...

   Asking for my job back?

   JKL33 replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

   This is a matter of mindset and at the roughly 2-year mark I think it's an unfortunate one. No doubt close to a year of your time in nursing so far has been in training mode. You have room to grow professionally. And personally. Dang, I spe...

   Did I make an error?

   JKL33 replied to Wolfmoon_'s topic in General Nursing

   Manager is the one who should be on a PIP. I bet that unit is full-on toxic.

   Write up

   JKL33 replied to Stacie Cavazos's topic in General Nursing

   If you're saying that you filled out the paperwork with one of the patients' health information and then sent the paperwork to an entity that had nothing to do with the situation then yes technically that is an inappropriate disclosure of what is lik...

   Humiliated and scared

   JKL33 replied to Overthamoon's topic in General Nursing

   The OP did not get a CT scan because her employer demanded it d/t her falling asleep at work. S/he got a CT scan due to the assessment by the EP. That has been my belief/suspicion all along. Since this thread is still ongoing with people still p...

   Where Do I Go from here?

   JKL33 replied to Sweetpea04's topic in General Nursing

   Oncology is an excellent place to learn so much nursing in my opinion. [Disclaimer for what I'm about to say: Yes, these elements can be found in other specialties.] Okay, with that said, oncology patients don't just have cancer...they have cancer pl...

    I Don't Get the Anxiety Part of Nursing

    JKL33 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    I had an alert today that someone used the new "dislike" button to dislike something I wrote 3+ years ago. 😂 I confess I am somewhat curious about the reasons people interact with zombie discussions years later (especially like in the case of the dis...

    What made you quit?

    JKL33 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Ended my hospital career on this note: It was early during Covid and I was working per diem. Due to emergency changes there were not as many hours available for per diems as usual and quite a few of my coworkers (regular staff and per diems) wer...

    Novel Idea for Administrators

    JKL33 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Med Error

    JKL33 replied to HawtMessRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is going to be okay. It really is. If you are the conscientious person that it sounds like you are, most likely this will help you pause and refocus, which is exactly what should happen. You've already identified factors that contributed t...

    I am really thinking this is not the right job for me - Am I Crazy?

    JKL33 replied to Birdsofprey's topic in Emergency
