   JKL33 replied to Testing1.2.3.'s topic in General Nursing

   Just curious how we know this is copy and paste and not dot phrase designed for use in this way. Regardless, if the documented statement is accurate, well then it just is. Hate to break it to you but...

   I messed up

   JKL33 replied to nervousnurse99's topic in General Nursing

   Agree with comment above. Beyond that I would not go overboard in professing how much (you think) you messed up. You don't need compliance people going scorched earth over something in which the...

   Anxious RN

   JKL33 replied to JLGtravel's topic in General Nursing

   JKL33 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

   Charge Nurses Keep Stalling, What Can I Do?

   JKL33 replied to Jojen9077's topic in General Nursing

   This is a process problem at your hospital. Getting a bed assignment shouldn't be dependent upon an individual ability or willingness to strong-arm or sweet-talk others in just the right way. It...

   Medical Emergencies in Public

   JKL33 replied to nurse4321's topic in General Nursing

   The person who wrote that (6 years ago) is not incorrect all around. There is some nuance to the answer to questions like the one written in the OP, that's true—for example if someone indicates they...

   Backsliding in new specialty

   JKL33 replied to AngelRay's topic in General Nursing

   ^Yep. Sorry I haven't been back after asking the question about your orientation but this is why I asked in the first place. Someone who has been successful in a place like IMCU doesn't just go...

    JKL33 replied to stop77777's topic in General Nursing

    Should handshaking be obliterated from our culture?

    JKL33 replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Should handshaking be obliterated from our culture?

    JKL33 replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Don't reciprocate if it makes you feel that way; don't violate yourself. Just smile and say "aw, no thanks, I don't shake hands but I'm glad to meet you." Pretty simple. It's fine that you...
