    Type and Screen

    Same. It had been like that for a number of years at my old

    CE Subscription

    JKL33 replied to TheoBeo's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. They are more concerned about making sure we've done that stuff than clinical

    EPIC and carrying out orders?

    JKL33 replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    What is the purpose of this action called acknowledging? If there's no purpose to it then it should be completely

    EPIC and carrying out orders?

    JKL33 replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    And I wouldn't even entertain malarkey about shift change orders. If they are written within 15-30 min of shift change or so then the bellyaching about it is just ridiculous. Life has trade-offs. If...

    EPIC and carrying out orders?

    JKL33 replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Because that is not how the ED works. The overarching goal there is to safely dispo patients, meaning get them out of the ED. They are either staying or going. In the case of staying, as soon as that...

    EMR Passwords

    JKL33 replied to Advocatenursemama's topic in General Nursing

    Yes; it seems likely that the poster meant stored somewhere in a non-encrypted form such that a manager could simply read it and type in the

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Well, and part of the problem is that although this may technically be true, it is a very misleading (and IRRESPONSIBLE) thing to write, without writing that there is a mixed bag of opinions...

    False Documentation & Relationships

    JKL33 replied to Curiouscat12345's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Definitely not wrong to say something in real time. I think a couple of possible reasons people end up sitting around and saying nothing are 1) because there is no shortage of issues that could be...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    [I realize the above is a quote from elsewhere]. I have some problems with it: 1. Healthcare workers very much do understand and acknowledge catastrophic things can/do happen to...

    Working With Lazy Nurses

    JKL33 replied to guest1206613's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't really sound like a good idea. Some kind of change is necessary if you're stressed to the max, but this may not be the right change. Chances seem good that at least 1 of the...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That was my initial reaction upon first learning about this case, mostly because I imagined she must have been under a great deal of pressure given the increased workloads and laughable "efficiency"...

    Unprofessional Behavior

    JKL33 replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    Since this is intolerable, my own personal approach options/preferences include 1) ignore til she gets bored/sees it isn't going to get a rise out of you 2) kindly and professionally address in...

    Documentation has ruined nursing

    JKL33 replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think part of the problem there is that clicking a box doesn't feel as complete and true as making some comment about your findings using...words. After all, lazy people who don't perform...

    I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    JKL33 replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    They have both "gone along with everything." I fail to understand how you would account for the discrepancy in your point of view. Why on earth should this man be in the city welcoming...

    I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    JKL33 replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    The same could be said about the perspective of the OP. This problem may be straight up different dreams for the future, which is really not the fault of either of them. Society may tend to...

    Is this a HIPAA violation?

    Turbulence and Turmoil in Nursing

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That can really sum up all of this. I haven't seen the large corporations even do a good job at pretending to value the work or those who do it. They try (to pretend) when it serves some other...

    Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You are not gaslit. Your qualification has not changed; practice acts and/or health codes (or at the very least institutional policy) in various places make it such that you literally do not possess...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Neither here nor there, but that little tidbit is far from scientific fact. And the authors/paper using that extrapolated allegation are/is not the original source, whom it seems they did not cite in...

    JKL33 replied to Hmdnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. It sounds like one way or another the OP's place needs to get some kind of protocol in place for what to do in the

    I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    JKL33 replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I'm not unfamiliar with the conditions you mention. A place doesn't need to be a level 1 trauma center or any kind of trauma center at all to see plenty of bread and butter stuff that FNPs...

    I Feel Stuck - Like My Options Are Limited

    JKL33 replied to Ashleynurse101's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you....but will still put it out there that it might be worth thinking more on this. Part of the immediate problem is that you're bored in your career; others have already pointed out that life...

    Doctors office

    JKL33 replied to Hmdnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Out of curiosity--is it safe to assume that scenario involved empaneled patients of that practice? ETA - at my current workplace RNs do a ton of phone triage and occasionally there will also be...

    Doctors office

    JKL33 replied to Hmdnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well there just isn't a lot to be done in this scenario. There are only a couple of right answers and they have already been mentioned. The specialist they came to see is not there, and there are...

    By the way, too bad OP doesn't provide more information. After I posted I thought it's probably a homework
