   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 AngelRay's topic in General Nursing

   JKL33 replied to stop77777's topic in General Nursing

   JKL33 replied to RNinVA2025's topic in General Nursing

   Should handshaking be obliterated from our culture?

   JKL33 replied to Alnitak7's topic in Disaster Preparation

   yeah, true, I meant I personally wouldn't think "weirdo" if someone doesn't want to shake hands. And I think it's another one of those personal preferences that people don't need to be judged

   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...

    “On Call” for Full Time RN

    JKL33 replied to RNinVA2025's topic in General Nursing

    NJ RN Renewal—error on application question

    JKL33 replied to Wagster55's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why there would technically be a problem with the way you answered. In #2 all you (mistakenly) did was decline to give up your right to NOT incriminate yourself by answering question #3....

    Unprofessional surveyor

    JKL33 replied to 1 tired nurse's topic in General Nursing

    OP, can you clarify this? What do you mean you received monetary damages? Was this in the form of unpaid days off as part of your discipline or some sort of actual fine or...? Very sorry you are...

    CCU vs ER

    JKL33 replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

    I can see how it's nice to know for the next nurse's assessment and have no problem with that. For the consent, yeah it's nice to know but ultimately the surgeon is legally responsible for...
