    Previous Jobs Not Giving Out References

    JKL33 replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Very common, as is much of their stupidity. So old. My former employer asks prospective employees for the very type of references that they themselves won't give out. It would be tempting to...

    Judgmental rant about time off

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    That's great. You will do well.

    Judgmental rant about time off

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I know you aren't and I'm sorry for not stating as much in my reply. I'm just presenting a counter point to what a lot of nurses feel. Okay, but take this ^. I think you're looking...

    Judgmental rant about time off

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    BTW, I do not defend abuse of sick time and have called in exceedingly few times during my years of employment. But it's so easy to criticize that which is right at eye level (our coworkers)....

    Judgmental rant about time off

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Big system-type places weren't happy until they were the employers of providers, bonus if it were more nurses and fewer physicians, because they are already well-practiced at keeping nurses in line...

    Got An Offer For Dayshift But Was Asked To Work Nightshift

    JKL33 replied to yoon519's topic in General Nursing

    Since you are new to the country, we should be very clear - probably THE main way for nurses (especially those who are "new" in some way) to get into hospital is on night shift. It is feasible that...

    Judgmental rant about time off

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    What?? ? I would've said "get outta here with that." This is yet another version of what corporations thrive on, which is making decisions for their own reasons then invoking the workerz to...

    Got An Offer For Dayshift But Was Asked To Work Nightshift

    JKL33 replied to yoon519's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell them no if at all possible; if you can afford to not have this job. There's a very good likelihood they have no intention of putting you on days. We have heard accounts similar to...

    Injured on Job and Fired

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

    That and personally I would say don't become hung up on having a hospital job or tying your value/self esteem/identity to your highly-regarded nursing specialty. I couldn't get that out of my system...

    Maybe 4th times a charm ?

    JKL33 replied to newbienursie's topic in Nursing Career

    Just imagining this I'm pretty sure I wouldn't work in a 6-pt assignment with no tech these days. I managed 12 step-down type pts with an LPN and a shared tech when I started years ago and that was no...

    How do I go about re-negotiating my pay as a staff nurse?

    JKL33 replied to deadmanonhigh's topic in Nursing Career

    Congrats on working hard and finding fulfillment in your work. This is a great topic about something that needs to become a lot more common in both discussion and practice. I think...

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    JKL33 replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    Just musing here--no one wants someone who is truly the kind of person you describe, the problem is it's all so subjective. I mean, I explain things all day long, sometimes in very simple terms PRN,...

    Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    JKL33 replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    But in many regions they would have to go well out of their way to not only pick a female OB, but to find an OB practice with only female OBs, otherwise they would always have the chance that the...

    Desperately Need to Vent

    JKL33 replied to LiLev's topic in Emergency

    Agree with ^ this. OP, maybe this physician is or isn't generally a nice person. Either way I have some food for thought for you, which I hope you will take in the spirit it is being offered:...

    Need advice on charting in EPIC

    JKL33 replied to Haboosh's topic in General Nursing

    I assume you are asking in terms of HIPAA. You are pretty much always allowed to review your recent documentation for the reasons you state. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is incompetent....

    Code Status- DNR After Resuscitation

    JKL33 replied to newnursemoon's topic in General Nursing

    It sure seems like one of those issues where it's simple, you just push until you get some kind of answer. But..we don't know that the provider didn't at least ask. I'd think a legally authorized...

    Access To Providers Personal Cell

    Can I ask why you would think something like this might have anything to do with

    Accused of Narcotic Diversion

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

    Only because people suck and touching another nurse's patient just gives someone who should know better something to witch about. Not because there is something inherently wrong with doing so....

    Sexual Behaviors Between Married Travelers Is Offensive

    JKL33 replied to Tiffany Reed's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, and that is a most unpleasant world to live in as well. Miserable. It is not a reasonable bar for deciding whether something should be reported. I don't have time for stuff like this. It is...

    What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    So you are never expected to help provide care to patients not assigned to you? Codes and auditing, etc., are not the only scenarios that present valid reasons to access a patient's chart. In any...

    What would you do?

    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Agreeing with poster above me. The action in the OP is certainly not a HIPAA violation. It's hard to understand how an RN would have come to that

    Predatory New Grad Contracts

    JKL33 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    Hello - That is my response that you quoted and I just wanted to add that I have never experienced a new-grad contract before--I just personally don't think it's that hard to either observe or...

    Thank you, and also want the poster to know that I think you gave excellent advice and this is perfectly worded:

    No Ethnic DIversity

    JKL33 replied to Nonie76's topic in General Nursing

    Really?? I'm not saying the business the OP is referencing does good work or anything--since that is a matter that is always up to the integrity of those involved--but other than that variable,...

    Terminated For Trying To Date A Patient

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

    It sounds like you understand what was wrong with your actions. I will still comment on a couple of details for others reading, or yourself if you still need to hear it (not trying to chastise)....
