    "Discrepancies" In Epic Documentation

    Hmm. Well, for lack of a more knowledgeable thing to say: Proceed with caution. On the one hand it's going to be hard for them to maintain that they considered you a risk or that they...

    7 on - 7 off shift schedule

    I don't know but this isn't her fault. I'd stop focusing on her if I were you. They needed her help badly enough on MTWTh that they let her work those days. Not the employees'...

    "Discrepancies" In Epic Documentation

    OP what is your current status? Are you on
  4. But see, if there is some standard that these things should be taken care of urgently, then others need to participate. They need to pony up resources. Even with you working as long and as fast...
  5. Contradictory statement. There is every possibility of coming out with crap clinical experience when the school decides not to participate and the student has to beg and possibly pay any random...
  6. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/pharmacists-prescribe-paxlovid/2974418/ Ridiculous. Ha, ha. Meanwhile everyone else struggling to get 99213 out of all the virtual covid...

    Not Exactly HIPAA, But Worried I Said Too Much

    Your statement was perfectly fine. Speaking of irrational fear, health systems often over-generalize about HIPAA inappropriately. This leads to misunderstanding and unnecessary fear. All is...
  8. Sick patient. You did fine. My first code the code team came screeching into the room and some big guy yelled, "WHAT HAPPENED HERE!" as if I had personally strangled the patient. All I could...

    Calling A Code Death (call police?)

    You can look up California death reporting laws and go from there. I did it after I read your post but will not try to interpret them for your specific situation. No....again, whatever the...

    Calling A Code Death (call police?)

    The answer here is not based upon anyone's opinion about what is better for the facility/their legal risk. It would be based upon your state or jurisdiction's coroner/ME/death reporting laws. You...

    To sign the contract or not to sign?

    I am an experienced nurse and am at a different place in life. However, there is ZERO way I would sign a 3-year contract. I would not advise any new grad that I know to sign any contract....

    NICU Nurses Are Not Nannies

    NICU Nurses Are Not Nannies

    I don't think your take is unreasonable, personally. I trust that you have seen many, many patients and families and you are here to discuss a distinction. I do agree with the opposing thoughts...

    Patient Assessment

    I don't think the care you describe is the right way to do things and I agree w/ above poster regarding the variety of reasons/factors that may be involved. But as for standards....I left because...
  15. Did you go back and document that after their actions, or at the time you reported to the MD? If the above was part of your original documentation and not something you just went back and wrote...
  16. Agree with the above. This will show up in pharmacy system as unaccounted-for controlled substance and you don't want that. This is a good lesson about what should or should not make us feel...

    At Clinic, Offered Hospital Position

    That is very likely not going to happen. It wouldn't happen in any hospital I've worked anyway, and the principle is the same anywhere/everywhere that an orientation period is required: They will not...

    Quitting First Nursing Job

    As a matter of fact, yes. For me it took accepting the fact that it was no longer the place that I once loved. It was as simple as that...and ultimately complicated at the same time, but that's...

    FNP School

    Basically saying the same thing at the end of the day. This is no longer just diploma mills but even state universities and otherwise well-respected entities that are riding the...
  20. It isn't wrong to reach out to the prescriber since it is employees at your place who are having a hard time understanding what the order means. In general though, with your additional information it...

    Burnt Out As A New Nurse

    If that's what you took away from everything I took the time to write, I have nothing further to say. If you care to take any time to read how much I hate large hospital systems and how they...
  22. I don't know if it is your facility that is putting limitations on you (about contacting the prescriber), but if you are the one expected to dole out the medication then it is nonsense to say that you...

    Something has to change

    I suspect they receive heavy feedback about this on exit surveys. This is everyone, state universities and other brick & mortar universities, schools otherwise very highly regarded, not just...
  24. Find a different position then tell this one you are resigning since the position for which they hired you is not available.
