    Leaving outpatient for bedside, feeling guilty?

    JKL33 replied to Mursefirst's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you feel guilty because of your mindset. Your post reads like something on the order of a humble-brag, where this great thing that supposedly every other nurse loves is just too boring for you....

    Being Mandated to Work

    JKL33 replied to nurse_shelly's topic in General Nursing

    I would expect that they consistently follow their own policies around this. You had to work 16 hours, which is what the others who work 12-hr shifts would've had to work if one of them had been...

    Lazy Coworkers?

    JKL33 replied to thenursebabe25's topic in General Nursing

    I would report this. Yeah this definitely isn't about that, but about taking care of people instead of not taking care of them while fraudulently charting that the care was done. Your...

    2 Nurse Skin ✔ q Shift ❓

    JKL33 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It is nothing short of blissful to not work in a hospital any

    BLS and RQI - Can't do it

    JKL33 replied to Brae30's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you'll need to ask for some kind of accommodation if it comes to that. Talk to your supervisor. As a side note, the concept of having real-time feedback about the quality of the...

    Is this fair? PAs Receive Wage Increase But Not NPs

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

    It is unlikely that the PAs are being compensated based on non-provider healthcare experience. There are different trains of thought about the ways RN experience is directly applicable to the...

    What should be done to mean nurses?

    JKL33 replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Also (later) the brand name of carisoprodol... We used to have people coming to ED looking for Soma

    What should be done to mean nurses?

    JKL33 replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    They have infinitely bigger personal problems than the problems they are mocking. The time it takes to say TicTack is too much time wasted on

    nurse leaders at the bedside

    JKL33 replied to livdream1's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting and there have been polls and discussions here before regarding people's opinions about whether a direct manager should be helping with the patient load, taking assignments, jumping...

    Physical Assault by Patient

    JKL33 replied to Kitkit24's topic in General Nursing

    File a police report regarding the assault. If by chance your employer tells you that you can't do that, they are lying. If you have security, make sure they are called next time there is a a...

    What are your thoughts on this? It still left me confused to this day

    JKL33 replied to Kitty1993's topic in General Nursing

    Not confusing. High maintenance pt, likes to dictate care. When that was unnecessary because your plan worked just fine she lashed out and told lies about you. Your employer is a jerkface. The end....

    Best Incident Report Ever Written

    JKL33 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    So I get it, professionalism is preferred. But it truly suuuuuucks...the things they will do in order to have the appearance of everything being okay. They are more afraid of higher-ups finding out...

    Learning IV Skills Outside of My Job

    JKL33 replied to Brae30's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly once you understand the process that needs to happen (the steps and the basic dexterity) the arms don't add a whole lot. They always have a big ol nice non-rolly vein, the pretend skin is...

    Learning IV Skills Outside of My Job

    JKL33 replied to Brae30's topic in General Nursing

    On that note it's too bad that corporations want the right to freak out over patient satisfaction but would be significantly less likely to do something like actually invest staff members' skill...

    Inevitable Resignation

    JKL33 replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    Possible if there is a physician referring and also directly benefitting, but I got the impression that it's the execs who might be behind this. Don't think Stark applies to administration...

    Hospital Bosses Ignored Months of Doctors' Warnings About Lucy Letby

    JKL33 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Neither here nor there but something about the prosecution case seems a bit underwhelming to me? Maybe just differences in how things are done and what makes it to the public. Not

    CNA is driving me crazy...help!

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

    "Thanks for letting me know." Period. Don't look eager to know more. [Don't give further space for continued commentary]. "I need to concentrate on my medication pass right now, please do not...

    Been an RN for 20 years, can't take anymore

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

    Just throwing this out there: One thing that can be extremely helpful in hospital nursing is to reflect on what things are adding to the stress and anxiety (both categorically and specifically)...

    Why am I being singled out and not offered extra shifts?

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

    Seems like the first step is to go to your manager and/or scheduler and ask what's up... Generally per diems know a sort of routine for when new available shifts are going to be posted and are...

    Decapitated baby

    JKL33 replied to SHH's topic in General Specialties

    Re other places to read commentary--provider forums. And they do generally seem to agree that if indeed the hospital and physician were not forthright about the condition of the baby there is no...

    HIPAA Question

    JKL33 replied to theapad's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Families don't violate HIPAA. They aren't covered entities; that is, in their role as family members the law doesn't even pertain to them. No PHI was disclosed to unauthorized parties by you,...

    South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Booo. (just kidding mostly--but seriously who knows what happened. The report certainly doesn't substantiate that the patient did not in fact refuse wound care at some
