    Is this New Grad Residency Program...normal?

    JKL33 replied to NewGradNurze's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    If it seems like they were careful not to disclose their intention, that is certainly a red flag. As for the extended length of time with rotating shifts, it's a terrible plan. No one should be...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We have fielded this type of comment many, many, many times, and the answer isn't going to change. Yes, we all make mistakes and we are all human. There are some types of things that are...

    EMTALA

    JKL33 replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Agree that she should've received a proper MSE (and whatever stabilization appropriate). On the other hand, an acquaintance recently needed to get their loved one to detox so they went to the...

    Dropping to PRN

    JKL33 replied to aga2012's topic in General Nursing

    Agree, and it counts as giving excess information (info that is not guaranteed to put things in your own favor but could give others something specific to criticize). Just my preference, but I'd start...

    Any Nurses That Didn't Get COVID Vacc/Booster for Complio?

    JKL33 replied to NoFly-4645's topic in General Students

    Welcome. This isn't a Complio thing but rather is institution-based. Your first step is to contact your educational institution and see if they are considering exceptions to the Covid vaccine...

    Dropping to PRN

    JKL33 replied to aga2012's topic in General Nursing

    I read that as: time to barter for a position that works for you Everybody makes choices. They make theirs and you make yours. Leave out all the stuff about the UTIs and the abrasive...

    When you literally can't keep up.

    JKL33 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Anything that you are doing that doesn't require the skills and/or license of an RN is a very bad use of your time and is money being wasted, just like (IMO) anything that the providers are doing that...

    Did I manage to dodge a HIPAA violation here?

    JKL33 replied to IreneTouTheou's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    HIPAA violations for people in a position such as yours generally involve accessing or divulging PHI (protected health information) inappropriately. Accessing it without a legitimate need, or...

    Documenting a medication given by a physician

    JKL33 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    This person does not know what s/he/they are talking about. Seriously. There is very little if any "liability." Sometimes when I've run into thinking like this I ask what kind of liability. But...

    Documenting a medication given by a physician

    JKL33 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with marking the med as administered and noting in the comment section that the med was reported as given by Dr So-and-so at X time. No doubt someone somewhere with too much time on...

    Odd Work Letter Request by Patient

    JKL33 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agree that it is part of the job. I require office visit for the more burdensome

    Home visit safety

    JKL33 replied to Zorra's topic in General Nursing

    "Consider it checked. I quit." Part of my opinion is based on this post in combination with your other one about this place. They are a crazy money-hungry outfit willing to literally commit...

    Should I get pregnant during nursing school?

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

    I'm sure Beth will publish a great response that is more complete and neutral. Until then you can have my $.02, which is: "Neither." I would get the ASN and get fully oriented in an RN...

    Coworker RN refused to help in emergency, claims she doesn't want to be “micromanaged"

    JKL33 replied to MVL1976's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    A few thoughts, keep in mind we do not know you or her. ? First, meeting seems like a good idea. I would 100% prefer that over a situation where someone complains to the manager then the manager...

    Advice on Home Health Boundaries

    JKL33 replied to JaneDoeDoe's topic in General Nursing

    There is likely not a totally comfortable way to put a stop to this; it's probably more a matter of deciding what would be least uncomfortable, which is kind of an individual thing. For me the viable...

    Afraid to work with colleague

    JKL33 replied to Chickenlady's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well I read your post again and I initially missed the part where you were actually written up based on the allegation. Yeah, I would not stand for that. That's a whole other deal than "just"...

    accused of plagiarism

    JKL33 replied to megan morin's topic in General Nursing

    These people wouldn't know what to do with dot phrases/auto-replace...? And what do they do if by some miracle a patient is "resting with eyes closed, resps even and unlabored" two nights in a...

    Service Dog

    JKL33 replied to HCA172002's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Uh, the first/original problem was people demanding that their untrained and unruly pets MUST be allowed to be present and create havoc everywhere that their irresponsible owner wants to take them....

    Afraid to work with colleague

    JKL33 replied to Chickenlady's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That sucks. A question. Is this "small office" under a large umbrella/corporation? My mind just wonders about stuff like this, context is almost always important. If this is within a larger...

    Nurse anxiety + parent anxiety

    JKL33 replied to BriannaM.'s topic in General Nursing

    Don't think there is one right answer here. I have not done PDN, but a few general thoughts: I would think it kind of normal, in this situation, for parents to want to vet a new caregiver. The...

    Proper MD orders

    JKL33 replied to quickkarma's topic in General Nursing

    That is definitely messed up and it isn't going to get better any time soon with the way it is being handled by management; well and really some of the nurses too. There is no way I would comb through...

    Proper MD orders

    JKL33 replied to quickkarma's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with above. You mentioned being expected to decipher and go about getting orders entered. Is this expectation coming through nursing channels, medicine/surgery or both? Have...

    Can we stop with the class discussion boards?

    JKL33 replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    In a number of my courses the platform being used did not support the formatting that was demanded (and being graded), for one example. Various suggestions were given by the instructor to try to work...

    Just asking

    JKL33 replied to Bill54's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure the context here but the generic (and rather obvious) answer would be that there is no reason to expose someone until access to the surgical area is needed, such as for scrubbing/prepping the...
