    Five Nurses. One Unit. All Diagnosed with Brain Tumors

    JKL33 replied to Erin Lee's topic in Nursing News

    But they don't all have the same type of cancer, in fact they don't have cancer at all according to the news reports currently available. The reports are of benign brain tumors of different types. At...

    Patient compliments and feedback

    JKL33 replied to Success89's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say I have never felt this way, but it was in passing and thankfully has never really become a means of judging myself. It might have to do with our personalities whether this kind of...

    Not enough facts to think any particular thing about this other than that looking into it is a good

    Torn rotator cuff one week before starting first nursing job :(

    JKL33 replied to janice_c67's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Contact your healthcare provider and update them on your current status to see what they recommend next. Good luck, hope things get better soon

    Old diagnosis in medical records

    JKL33 replied to MarkMyWords's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Decided to comment on this as well. Your verbiage would be appropriate for an intentional act of putting a wrong diagnosis on your chart. Maybe you didn't mean that, but calling something "false"...

    Old diagnosis in medical records

    JKL33 replied to MarkMyWords's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You say this diagnosis is very old. Is your current PCP the one who diagnosed you with the condition? If so, use the clinic's process for submitting a request to amend your medical record. You...

    Charting in the WAR

    JKL33 replied to Christina Plantinga's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully someone from LTC will respond but since they haven't yet, you can have my take: This is a great question to go directly back to the one(s) who gave the instruction! "hey...it seems like we...

    Have you ever been bullied by someone who had seniority over you?

    JKL33 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. Well, except for this one more senior nurse who apparently had been terrorizing others for years and decided to try some fun stuff with me. I made a strong point of appearing not to notice,...

    Flexibility and On-Call

    JKL33 replied to Sephra Atolt's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the above. Also, and I'm making a guess/assumption here, it seems like if you would be unavailable to be on call then you are also not able to work shifts on those days? If that's the case...

    I desperately need this job-help me with interview tips!

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

    To the person who wrote this: Congrats on getting out of there. 👍🏽 And good luck with the job

    Scared I'm Going to Fail Practicum

    JKL33 replied to NurseAlex's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it is a skill that comes naturally to some personalities and not as much to others (not sure), but it is definitely worth learning how to constructively deal with the mistakes we make and spend...

    Mentoring a struggling nurse

    JKL33 replied to arich472's topic in General Nursing

    I think this. I would try to assess what elements are at the root of this before spending much more time. The buddy shifts are going to come to an end. You can be more proactive while still...

    Who is at fault for elopement?

    JKL33 replied to muggs's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about losing one's license. But other kinds of negative repercussions, sure. If there is no plan or resources to appropriately care for these patients and no concern from...

    Will I lose my license?

    JKL33 replied to Anonnurseee's topic in General Nursing

    I will add that OP did notify MD - was this through messaging? This is a scenario that calls for re-paging or messaging or calling q30 until response received and making sure you have the opportunity...

    Will I lose my license?

    JKL33 replied to Anonnurseee's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is not helpful for you at this time, OP, but I'm writing it anyway because yours is a cautionary tale and a lesson for anyone who doesn't know already: When management makes stupid...

    Psych RN with No Skills

    JKL33 replied to Hiedi's topic in General Nursing

    THIS. I started to type a reply about this earlier but was interrupted. What a ridiculous thing for that manager to say; too bad for them that their ability to reason is so limited. Agree with...

    Nurse to Provider Communication Guidelines LTC and SNF

    JKL33 replied to MarySnov's topic in General Nursing

    1. Some of these things seem like they're not even following nursing policies that their employer might have. I'd see what they already have, review them and medical director should be addressing with...

    Threatened with being fired for calling off for bowel prep

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

    Don't really disagree regarding emergency/urgency. What rubs me the wrong way is that in an ideal world this would be easily scheduled well in advance, but things being what they are there end...

    Management threatens nurses

    JKL33 replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    What is the escalation process they're referring to? This is a bad situation. You're saying there's a single RN for these 12+ inpatients? I really sincerely hope you are working on plan B....

    Code blue button disabled staff NOT notified

    JKL33 replied to Curious questions's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't mean this harshly, just realistically: On par for the way hospitals operate. It isn't worth getting riled up--by that I mean that a lot of these things are annoying (at best) but they...

    Threatened with being fired for calling off for bowel prep

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

    @robinasq This is a situation where I, too, would have taken my chances and called this DON's bluff--mostly because I don't tolerate bullying and being manipulated this way. The problem is, not...

    Clicking of TAR

    JKL33 replied to reneejones92058's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming your post is means that the wound care nurse (supposedly) does the treatments and you (not the wound care nurse) are responsible to mark these things as done on the TAR: Say no....

    Need a different job

    JKL33 replied to Nurse_girl's topic in General Nursing

    Word of caution about jumping from frying pan into fire as they say. I know this is likely wearing you down but recommend take a little time to think more about your next move. For example, LTC with...

    Made a bad mistake

    JKL33 replied to Tierno's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a newer nurse, my patient had orders for both oxycontin and immediate release oxycontin. She was in terrible pain. I spent a good portion of my night trying to provide additional relief...
