    Abandonment? What exactly is it?

    JKL33 replied to ppfd's topic in Nursing Career

    Number one rule when dealing with people like this is to keep your thoughts and plans to yourself. They don't need your information and while it might feel good to make the quip you did, all it does...

    Early Medical Leave r/t Med Error

    JKL33 replied to OrthoRN20's topic in General Nursing

    Just as an aside, my opinion has been that ^ these kinds of rules are NOT about patient safety but generated by inane admins who have gotten away with pretending that the main or perhaps only reason a...

    Why lift foot of bed up to lift pts in bed?

    JKL33 replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking of "supposed to"--what does your job description say about your lifting requirements? Likely something like 50-75 pounds. That means 4 (yes FOUR)--or at the very least 3--staff members to...

    In Home Care Working Beside Nurse Who Goes Against Order

    JKL33 replied to Vee D's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Agree. This is just dumb. Now, OP, you've been written up because you did something wrong as you were trying to clean up all the messes. You don't need that, this is more trouble than it's...

    Conflicted about jobs…

    JKL33 replied to MaleNurse53's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely with @klone; very sound advice. I think this is fairly common for the role transition period. I was going to use the word normal instead of common, but didn't want you...

    Early Medical Leave r/t Med Error

    JKL33 replied to OrthoRN20's topic in General Nursing

    I also think it was unwise to tell anyone about any brain fog, except your personal health care provider for the purpose of getting care and/or adjusting your work as necessary. Beyond that it's just...

    A Decade in the ER: A Reflection

    JKL33 replied to Jamie Sollog's topic in Emergency

    Love to hear it, good for you! Now don't forget where you came from/stay on the right side of things: PATIENTS, and nurses. ??

    Staff Treating Patients Poorly Or Am I Too Sensitive

    JKL33 replied to Guest1201992's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. ?? I like how you can see through the sob story here. You are exactly right. This RN sounds troubled, frankly. His MO appears to be exerting power over those who are pretty much...

    Anxiety Makes Me Want to Quit

    JKL33 replied to pucatalia's topic in Nursing Career

    I am sorry you are struggling with this. You do sound like a very conscientious nurse and we always need more of those. In general, do you tend to struggle with anxiety a little? It almost...

    New Graduate Nurses Require Support and Honesty, No More "Eating The Young"

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

    Your rebuttals amount to circumventing the topic at hand in order to continue discussing irrelevant details that you think only you know about. I said: In response to that, you skipped...

    5 Ways to Improve Cultural Competence in Nursing

    JKL33 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    #1: Talk with your patient. While using care to be personable and respectful, ask them if you are not sure how their beliefs may or may not figure into the situation. Just before Thanksgiving I...

    Staff Treating Patients Poorly Or Am I Too Sensitive

    JKL33 replied to Guest1201992's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. OP, there is no excuse for this. Illegal and unethical. Stand your ground. Don't get wrapped up into a single one of the bad behaviors these people are doing. Just say no,...

    New Graduate Nurses Require Support and Honesty, No More "Eating The Young"

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

    Take yourself out of this for one small second, londonflo, and look at it this way: Entity A: Hospital/Needs workers Entity B: School/Educates people to make them into workers Entity A...

    New Graduate Nurses Require Support and Honesty, No More "Eating The Young"

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

    As is your prerogative, but I feel your anger is misplaced. I am not sure if you believe I am talking about nursing instructors or why this need to argue the basic tenets of what I am saying. I didn't...

    New Graduate Nurses Require Support and Honesty, No More "Eating The Young"

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

    I don't think it's simple at all. I am not trying to argue with you but rather point out that there is plenty of jockeying and shenanigans and deal-making that is way above the level of the student...

    Importance of Pinning With Families

    JKL33 replied to newgraddd's topic in General Students

    What is the rationale...er...excuse? Covid? You could consider getting together with your loved ones to celebrate instead of going to ceremony. (Or do both). Those kind of ceremonies don't really...

    How are 'access to medical records' audited/checked/flagged?

    JKL33 replied to bananas1's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The reason to not be worried is because you didn't do anything "wrong." Our systems here have the ability to document the reason the chart was opened, although that is such a cumbersome idea it...

    Begging For Advice About PRN & Critical Bonus Pay

    JKL33 replied to 0newnurse's topic in General Nursing

    So according to their policy you were eligible for bonus pay even though your position was only PRN, but in order to get the bonus pay you were supposed to submit forms? Have you spoken to...

    New Graduate Nurses Require Support and Honesty, No More "Eating The Young"

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

    I agree that is part of it, I have noticed hospitals becoming less and less cooperative. There is all kinds of silliness with which they obstruct the experience of students, even HIPAA has become an...

    New Nurse, New Mom

    JKL33 replied to Newbynurse123's topic in General Nursing

    Oh...my. Is there more going on? I admit I am very lucky but I can't imagine something like this being said to me. That is not okay. For starters it's an insulting way to interact with one's...

    Oxycodone Mistake

    JKL33 replied to Angelasc's topic in General Nursing

    She didn't, she said OxyContin (controlled release form of the generic/oxycodone) which is q12. ETA: as noted by poster above, if it was 5 mg pretty good chance it was IR anyway. Fun fact: One of...

    New Graduate Nurses Require Support and Honesty, No More "Eating The Young"

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

    I think that the "eat their young" idea is really not helpful, or at the very least there are numerous interwoven factors at play besides the idea that nurses are mean and set out to eat their young....

    Why does Nursing have to be a passion?

    JKL33 replied to Guest1201734's topic in General Nursing

    It is simple. If you are not "passionate" about nursing then you are less likely to put up with the working conditions and demands and mistreatment. And universities and businesses do need persons who...

    Med administration

    JKL33 replied to Succubus's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You were taught that in a very specific context. That being: The 5 Rights must match. The idea that there is only one right way to achieve the ordered number of mgs is a newer matter that came...

    How am I supposed to give pills when I have several dosages?

    JKL33 replied to pepitohonguito87's topic in General Students

    I got that. S/he MADE UP the question and made a mistake in answering the MADE UP example. The mistake is still there for all to see in the OP. The POINT of the post was that there was more than one...
