    Radonda Vaught Trial

    JKL33 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    This is not true No neuro ICU nurse should need to get the answer to this particular question from another person. Actually, the question itself was just pointless. The patient is already...

    Nursing Judgement vs Physician Orders

    JKL33 replied to renewyou62's topic in Nursing Career

    It isn't [good] "nursing judgment" to not inform the provider so that a simple change can be made. It's just straight up pathological behavior, not nursing judgment. Nursing judgment would be holding...

    Danger! Paralytic Drugs!

    JKL33 replied to dthfytr's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you are referring to the RV situation, that didn't happen because something wasn't double-checked, it happened because something wasn't single-checked. Might as well have been a bowl of pills at a...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    JKL33 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the revocation of license and the legal accountability. The main way I think this should change nursing would be for nurses to stop trying so hard to please and comply no matter how...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    JKL33 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The one pushing the med has the ultimate responsibility of assessing whether what they are about to do is safe or not. He or she is the one who shouldn't worry about upsetting people and should say,...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    JKL33 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I almost/pretty much agree except that I don't think it was retaliation per se, I think it was to get a bigger, very vigorous side show going which was focused on RV at the time that Vanderbilt was...

    Radonda Vaught Trial

    JKL33 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Or as others (you?) have pointed out in other discussions, have a glance at your patient after you push something into them. Or come up with another plan. Possibly what I would've done right from...

    Daylight Savings - Are You Ready to Spring Forward?

    JKL33 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it moves that hour of daylight from "getting ready for work time" to "personal time" for a lot of people. The experts quite dramatic. I am no expert but I suspect standard time...

    New Grad - SNF State Audit

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

    They aren't there to ding you or not ding you personally or quiz you on your nursing knowledge and grade your competency. They are there to assess your workplace. You could have straight up answered...

    I hate my clinical professor, would this be a good idea to ask her?

    JKL33 replied to cookie123d's topic in General Students

    I said that's what I consider them. I find them fairly easy to manipulate; they are typically massively insecure at baseline. If there is someone who gets away with dismissing a student only for...

    I hate my clinical professor, would this be a good idea to ask her?

    JKL33 replied to cookie123d's topic in General Students

    I hope hate is not what you really meant, OP. Just sitting here pondering it, it occurs to me that I don't really think in those terms. I consider a lot of behaviors rather ridiculous, but I...

    Medication Error

    JKL33 replied to That1Rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is only a big deal in that you will learn something from it. It will be of zero lasting consequence for the patient. I mean this kindly: This ^ is not a reasonable reaction or personal...

    JKL33 replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    If you are certain of your decision to quit then this may be your best approach. Pursuing a different opportunity. These are not your problems. **** Side note: I hope...

    Change Triage/ESI After Visit Complete

    JKL33 replied to newlaRN's topic in Emergency

    You are correct. However, you should find out why this is being done. I have seen docs want to change the ESI because it's one way to help keep patient situations straight when they are looking at a...

    Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

    JKL33 replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in General Nursing

    That is an interesting assessment given that you don't know what we have or haven't experienced. Pressured to drink mystery coffee? No, you're right I would never have experienced that because...

    "Well, there's your first problem..." ? Anyway...I can't see myself being in this situation. I would've headed it off long before anyone touched my hands. Either my help is needed or it isn't...

    Two-Headed Snake Bully Nurse

    JKL33 replied to Milkofamnesia02's topic in General Nursing

    Any good reason to think the ex-coworker isn't the chief pot-stirrer? In any case I agree completely with those advising you ignore/go on as if you know nothing. The types of people who...

    Have you ever been looked down on because you don’t work in the hospital?

    JKL33 replied to happyhippo's topic in General Nursing

    I remember once questioning a coworker who was leaving the ED for outpatient. She had several years' ED experience on me and was one of the best nurses I've worked with, so I was disappointed that she...

    The poster isn't talking about sick pay, they are referring to the idea that in addition to the orientation being cut short because the hospital wanted them to take a full assignment due to poor...

    Change Triage/ESI After Visit Complete

    JKL33 replied to newlaRN's topic in Emergency

    No it is not right. If the work-up is eventually overkill or otherwise not appropriate, that is not your problem or your concern as the person performing the triage. The process of assigning ESI...
