    Worried losing her license

    JKL33 replied to Guest1239342's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I agree with the two above me who advise taking this seriously. This recommendation does not come from a place of moral judgment—I think most of us can understand that this was done...

    Is Ai the answer to our problems?

    JKL33 replied to d'cm's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    😂🤡

    Employer keeps delaying start date and I'm confused about what to do

    JKL33 replied to bluescoop's topic in Nursing Career

    Impossible to know. If the person who is out on PTO is someone who does a lot of their onboarding/HR pieces then the reason they gave you sounds legit enough. I know people can be crappy sometimes...

    Quitting with less then a two weeks notice

    JKL33 replied to Ashpea24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Agree.

    Quitting with less then a two weeks notice

    JKL33 replied to Ashpea24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well that's just crap treatment. Seems like moral gutter behavior, "top tier" or not. I agree with your advice to think it through and weight things out carefully. It comes down to what...

    HIPAA in NYS Prison

    JKL33 replied to OneRN50's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I say this as an encouragement, not criticism: While at times there are specifics that can be confusing or guidance that appears contradictory, HIPAA can usually be boiled down so that it's...

    Legality of nurse responsibilities

    JKL33 replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and it does make one wonder if the OP place has even considered it. It would be better to have someone on the ground. My guess, like you said, is its a bottom line thing...as always. Somewhere...

    Legality of nurse responsibilities

    JKL33 replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    I saw that at a place. They hired a new grad FNP as their "hospitalist" covering 25 inpt beds and an 8 bed (rural) ICU. Which made the ED doc the de facto hospitalist and rapid response team and...

    Quitting with less then a two weeks notice

    JKL33 replied to Ashpea24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A 2 week rotating schedule is ridiculous. Though no one here is in a position to say that a medical evaluation is not appropriate there is no way in heck I would recommend extensive testing for...

    Quitting with less then a two weeks notice

    JKL33 replied to Ashpea24's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, that is an absolutely ridiculous schedule. Reach out to managers again and ask what's the plan. You'll get a better idea what to do based on their response this time, since they have now...

    How to manage paranoid nurse

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

    Only thing I would add is that I am not sure it would be appropriate to suggest a specific course of therapy such as behavioral counseling. More appropriate to expect that a person will take...

    Med Error

    JKL33 replied to RockingBoyMom's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds terrible. Was this an employer that seemed reasonable up to this point? And you had been getting along there for 6 years without any trouble? I'm sure it's difficult and feels...

    Legality of nurse responsibilities

    JKL33 replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    Do they have a plan for staffing a nurse to round with the teledoc? Is that for sure how they are planning that this will work? I ask because it's one thing for them to document, say, a basic...

    HIPAA

    JKL33 replied to OneRN50's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Interesting. This is unavoidable in some settings at some times. Crowded ED, for example--although we should all be doing our best to maintain privacy at all times to the extent reasonably...

    Should I take the job even knowing it's unsafe?

    JKL33 replied to Lozzie's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't, though--I don't know exactly which one specific place you're talking about and likely others don't either. Lots of places struggle with at least some of these things (we might be able to...

    Time management

    JKL33 replied to Serotonin2's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting because, well, being "too thorough" is a thing. There's a time and place (or situation) for it, and there are times that it is a hindrance/can be inappropriate. On the other hand,...

    Nursing Assistants (NAs) accountability

    JKL33 replied to Kayleigh Stanley's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Out of curiosity, what number of patients do the NAs cover on their respective shifts? There are likely issues beyond just whether or not there is confusion about whom is supposed to be doing...

    Nurse asked to document student ingested drug, but no proof

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

    Too bad for them; that's not how this works. You may have to inform them, in a professional manner, that is not how medical documentation works and that you are not going to produce false...

    Is the nursing field moving toward wanting DNP's?

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

    Ditto x 100. JMHO but having the powers that be tout this stupid non-clinical doctorate while constantly babbling about being on-par with physicians is an embarrassment. There is no additional...

    LPN left facility to get coffee-License suspended for patient abandonment

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

    I am sorry....the end of the above sentence surprised me as I was reading. I surely thought you were going to say "...checking with appropriate peers (eg other nurses and/or supervisor) to make...

    Staffers arrested

    JKL33 replied to delrionurse's topic in Nursing News

    I understand that now that I've seen your comment here you'd prefer to focus on "this thread," but you need to make this right. You are mischaracterizing that discussion; the words of others. I am...

    Staffers arrested

    JKL33 replied to delrionurse's topic in Nursing News

    Edit: I have spent the better part of the afternoon, unfortunately, writing various replies to this that I have deleted. I regret that wasted time but I was/am just incredulous that you would...

    Can I become a school nurse with only about 4 months of bedside experience?

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

    This. Possibly above everything else. I would recommend more experience for this one reason alone if no other reason. You will be surrounded by people with zero medical/nursing training (who, by...

    Asked to bring narcotic keys back, got in car wreck

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

    Looking forward to answer from Nurse Beth, which are usually neutral and cover a lot of bases. I suspect that legally working against you are the facts that 1) You are responsible to turn in the...
