    False Documentation & Relationships

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

    LOL. I'd say something along the lines of "it's been reported, what happens next is beyond my purview" This really doesn't have anything to do with you being in charge. If you felt, as a...

    Medical DPOA for my mother, constant refusal to give me information even with the official form

    JKL33 replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    @beachynurse sorry you had to deal with that. Unbelievable, but it sounds like that social worker confused HIPAA authorization (where patients could authorize several people simultaneously with...

    Letter of Rec for Preceptee?

    JKL33 replied to BrezyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I would include something about attitude and/or communication specific to nursing, such as "asks great/appropriate questions to further his/her nursing knowledge/practice safely"....or,...

    Sober Curious Living

    JKL33 replied to LoriBrabant's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. I don't not drink, I just couldn't care less about it and could live the rest of my life without having an alcoholic drink. I think the idea of people feeling free/empowered to say no...

    Why no retention bonuses??

    JKL33 replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that is definitely not the point of my post. I don't desire praise and accolades at all. The opposite of disrespect is not praise and accolades, it is simply general human respect....

    Why no retention bonuses??

    JKL33 replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    I bet trying to retain MAs is possibly an even rougher situation than trying to retain nurses (?) It grinds my gears when corporations think that some workers should show up to work reliably and...

    Why no retention bonuses??

    JKL33 replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not one who thinks money isn't important; of course it is. But I'm just curious what you are currently hearing on the ground on a committee like this--is there ever any serious consideration of...

    Why Hospitals Don't Value Nurses: A Nurse's Perspective

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    All I know is this happened in the 2010s also. At the place I experienced it, they brought their golden child from **supply chain management** (the kind of golden child where no one is sure of their...

    Misunderstanding in ER

    JKL33 replied to bluedreamerstu's topic in General Nursing

    I just say um no. ? "knock yourself out but you are wrong and I'm not doing that." But really, as to the topic at hand, these do get handled different ways due to no malice whatsoever, just that...

    I Made A Serious Medication Error: Help!

    JKL33 replied to Hailey.B's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously I don't know the background situation here, but this sounds like a situation that is way more likely to crop up when all the experience has left the building. Otherwise it would be fairly...

    Misunderstanding in ER

    JKL33 replied to bluedreamerstu's topic in General Nursing

    I will say I suspect there is a lot of local variability in how things like this are handled, as well as what the rationales are. And I agree they are often not in writing. There have been...

    Misunderstanding in ER

    JKL33 replied to bluedreamerstu's topic in General Nursing

    Safety issues are within their purview Correct. But obviously the hospital would not enjoy putting on a OD defense by saying, "they would've killed themselves anyway" **I have no...

    Misunderstanding in ER

    JKL33 replied to bluedreamerstu's topic in General Nursing

    There may be some confusion (in the nursing profession or at various employers, etc) about why they police would be called. In general I have been under the impression that it was being done not...

    I Made A Serious Medication Error: Help!

    JKL33 replied to Hailey.B's topic in General Nursing

    I think the labs that were drawn were indeed baseline. The bolus and gtt were given without those results as is normal. When they returned 3 hours later, no one knew what to do because they...

    Misunderstanding in ER

    JKL33 replied to bluedreamerstu's topic in General Nursing

    You went to the ED for pain. An IV was placed. You asked a vague question which induced them to appear to give you permission to leave with your IV during treatment--something that is never allowed....

    New Grad Orientation Doesn't Feel Safe or Supportive

    JKL33 replied to Camillus_Was_a_Murse's topic in General Nursing

    What you describe is 100% wrong. It makes me so angry. I would like to have something helpful to say, but in this sort of scenario where you are backed into a corner like this my personal...

    Cancer patient and professional relationship

    JKL33 replied to Susan Lawson's topic in General Nursing

    The attachments to those at the center are part of his much heavier struggle, which is facing his own mortality head-on. It isn't just that he has to say good-bye to everyone. He refused to ring...

    Value-Based Healthcare and the Role of Nurse Practitioners

    JKL33 replied to Joy Odafe's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The problematic (and straight up duplicitous) aspect of the whole thing summed up in a single sentence, right here ^ No one is getting "rewarded." The "reward" is simply getting paid for work...
