   Why Is Compassion and Support missing in Nursing?

   JKL33 replied to Steph1985's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   Hopefully many of us have some degree of regard for the things you mention. Surely you know not all nurses possess a deep sense of empathy, compassion and commitment to caring. No, as a matter...

   Big issues at work

   JKL33 replied to Lindsey Oldag's topic in General Nursing

   I live in fear of this type of scenario. Okay, I don't truly (and I've never had it happen to me) but what I mean is when I hear of stories like this my first thought is get away from these people....

   Can I get a nursing job that lets me keep the Sabbath?

   JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

   As a volunteer who is there to sit with a patient? I would not mind an occasional brief conversation about nursing. I'd be happy to hear of your nursing aspirations and chat for a minute when I...

   Need help getting through feeling of burnout

   JKL33 replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

   This sounds like quite the rough time. It sounds like the workplace is a major problem; not necessarily nursing itself. Several bits you included in your post (crappy equipment, staffing, the...

   Is it a career mistake to go from ER to Urgent Care?

   JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

   Random thoughts. Sometimes the "grass isn't always greener" warning isn't appropriate for various reasons, but I wonder if it may be appropriate here. The UC is going to put patients through...

   Working off the clock

   JKL33 replied to Rn2bmomta's topic in General Nursing

   Hopefully they will just pay the time worked and give a verbal reprimand (ie don't do this any more; if you do, you must be signed in and must have prior approval for OT if applicable...etc)...

   Five Nurses. One Unit. All Diagnosed with Brain Tumors

   JKL33 replied to Erin Lee's topic in Nursing News

   But they don't all have the same type of cancer, in fact they don't have cancer at all according to the news reports currently available. The reports are of benign brain tumors of different types. At...

   Patient compliments and feedback

   JKL33 replied to Success89's topic in General Nursing

   I can't say I have never felt this way, but it was in passing and thankfully has never really become a means of judging myself. It might have to do with our personalities whether this kind of...

   Not enough facts to think any particular thing about this other than that looking into it is a good

    JKL33 replied to janice_c67's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Contact your healthcare provider and update them on your current status to see what they recommend next. Good luck, hope things get better soon

    Old diagnosis in medical records

    JKL33 replied to MarkMyWords's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Decided to comment on this as well. Your verbiage would be appropriate for an intentional act of putting a wrong diagnosis on your chart. Maybe you didn't mean that, but calling something "false"...

    Old diagnosis in medical records

    JKL33 replied to MarkMyWords's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You say this diagnosis is very old. Is your current PCP the one who diagnosed you with the condition? If so, use the clinic's process for submitting a request to amend your medical record. You...

    Charting in the WAR

    JKL33 replied to Christina Plantinga's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully someone from LTC will respond but since they haven't yet, you can have my take: This is a great question to go directly back to the one(s) who gave the instruction! "hey...it seems like we...

    Have you ever been bullied by someone who had seniority over you?

    JKL33 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. Well, except for this one more senior nurse who apparently had been terrorizing others for years and decided to try some fun stuff with me. I made a strong point of appearing not to notice,...

    Flexibility and On-Call

    JKL33 replied to Sephra Atolt's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the above. Also, and I'm making a guess/assumption here, it seems like if you would be unavailable to be on call then you are also not able to work shifts on those days? If that's the case...
