    Not sharing EMR notes w patient/family

    JKL33 replied to ActiveHusky's topic in General Nursing

    Look, we have both been around here for quite awhile. That's why I was taken aback by your first response to me, which seemed as if you believe me to be some random drive-by jerk not capable of a...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you, but this is not new. Reference Son of Sam laws. Wonder if TN has any on the

    Not sharing EMR notes w patient/family

    JKL33 replied to ActiveHusky's topic in General Nursing

    Spare me the drama. Almost my entire bedside career was in the ED where people are threatened every kind of way and not infrequently. And now as a primary care provider my name is on the sign,...

    Not sharing EMR notes w patient/family

    JKL33 replied to ActiveHusky's topic in General Nursing

    Dude take it easy. I literally asked respectfully for additional understanding. It's okay to answer without coming unglued. I did, in fact read all of your post and I guess my mind read them...

    Addressing Walk Ins in Primary Care

    JKL33 replied to foodlovernurse's topic in General Nursing

    NZ is not the only place in the world where health care providers endeavor to do the bolded portion above. It sounds like this may be very hard for you to believe, but even in the US providers strive...

    Addressing Walk Ins in Primary Care

    JKL33 replied to foodlovernurse's topic in General Nursing

    In regard to the OP question I agree with having the front desk let them know that you can see them as your task list allows if they want wait, or that you will give them a call with the results...

    Addressing Walk Ins in Primary Care

    JKL33 replied to foodlovernurse's topic in General Nursing

    That is an unsafe policy/practice. I do exact opposite-- " I should have your results back [within X time frame]; if you have not heard back about them by [end of general time frame] please go ahead...

    Not sharing EMR notes w patient/family

    JKL33 replied to ActiveHusky's topic in General Nursing

    Not to be stupid but may I ask why? Just want to understand the line of thought. The patient knows they threatened to kill you, I assume. I would think they might suspect that such behavior will not...

    Philippine Graduate | Old Passport required

    Bullying by the DON

    JKL33 replied to Lele's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    ^ This. And to the OP, don't assume that said talk is even sincere in the first place! People in this position are often quite expert at using (and even creating) chaos to serve organizational...

    Nurse Practitioner Abuse

    JKL33 replied to CritCareAPP1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Opinion here. Stay on the high ground. Personally I would ignore anything that can be ignored. I wouldn't care what they tell their buddy the rad tech or their petty trash talk amongst...

    Failed Orientation

    JKL33 replied to Sapa22's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Your resume and what you choose to include and highlight is your business, it's your personal marketing document. Your application is another matter and will ask about your employment history;...

    Thoughts on nurses who became physicians

    JKL33 replied to NurseMcMuffin's topic in General Nursing

    I think we can have our opinions about how it should've or could have been handled by the OP in the moment, however the subsequent backlash from the staff RN was straight up malicious; I can think of...

    ED RN refused per diem, is this legal?

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

    Yes, of course. You resigned from the position that they needed filled. That is a resignation from employment with the company unless both of you wish to continue the employment relationship under...

    Thoughts on nurses who became physicians

    JKL33 replied to NurseMcMuffin's topic in General Nursing

    Just move on/let it go. That nurse sounds somewhat maladjusted/miserable. I bet if you would've walked out of the room without doing anything and requested that she attend the child/intervene, the...

    CNA Frustrated with Being the Blame

    JKL33 replied to Kirsten Creator's topic in General Nursing

    No one is asking you to. What you are to do is report significantly abnormal vital signs right away FOR THE PATIENT'S SAKE. Regarding not being able to find an RN, you have received many comments...

    CNA Frustrated with Being the Blame

    JKL33 replied to Kirsten Creator's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa, hang on. NO ONE is saying not to work together. What you describe above is not at all the same as someone leaving the RN a sticky note with all the vitals that have just been charted in the...

    Are RNs in Ohio allowed to adjust Coumadin based on POCT results?

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

    As above. Can't think of a reason why you would be disallowed in Ohio from following an order protocol. Should be no different than any other order/protocol such as giving sliding scale insulin or...

    CNA Frustrated with Being the Blame

    JKL33 replied to Kirsten Creator's topic in General Nursing

    Disagree. In the case we are discussing it is a reactionary and defensive "I'll show you" sort of response that is not helpful for prioritization and is a waste of the OP's time writing it. Despite...

    What is the toughest part of nursing?

    JKL33 replied to MoLo's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. I have come to the conclusion that nursing is wrong in teaching that all is understandable (excused) due to illness/stress. My observation and experience is that when sick/very stressed, people...

    What to do when a patient alleges staff abuse?

    JKL33 replied to IreneTouTheou's topic in General Nursing

    I realized my wording was ambiguous. I meant now as in "these days;" this is how I would now handle a situation like this after years of patient interactions and observations. Sorry about that. I...

    Investigated?

    Investigated?

    JKL33 replied to whatisgonnabemyname's topic in General Nursing

    You have a lot of extraneous information in your post. For instance, a mistake your manager made on your first day of orientation is irrelevant. Your manager is now simply investigating a complaint...

    What to do when a patient alleges staff abuse?

    JKL33 replied to IreneTouTheou's topic in General Nursing

    This patient can't have it both ways. Either they are making an actual allegation of abuse or they aren't. While we all want to protect patients, it certainly would not be the first time that a...
