    Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

    JKL33 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I am judicious with incident reports. I have neither the time nor the internal motivation to write them for anything less than a serious patient safety issue. The last one I wrote involved something...

    Interpret This Order For Me Please

    JKL33 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Getting off topic, but if such a call were mandated (which we don't know), that's the first problem. Choosing not to think because one doctor (we don't even know if it was the same one who wrote...

    Community health experience bad experience

    Infuriating Code Status Changes

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yep, and they don't fill out surveys or get on fakebook and rant about how the hospital killed their family member. This is a disgrace and there is no justification--you've summed it up. I...

    Wisconsin Hospital Sues To Keep Employees

    Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

    JKL33 replied to sadsacrum's topic in General Students

    I don't know why people love to make this leap. It isn't logical. Surely you can see there is a difference between using a professional skill to accomplish work and be paid for it even when it...

    Managing Impatient Patients

    JKL33 replied to AnxietyMaven's topic in General Nursing

    Do what you can, when it's their turn, to let them know they have your attention. Make good eye contact, be pleasant, etc. When it's time for you to leave that patient, give the standard spiel about...

    Community health experience bad experience

    JKL33 replied to adamastor's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, they are not unrelated. You are serving clients who are having some of their basic health/survival needs met through community programs. There is a wide range of community programs that...

    Dislike Everyone In My Cohort

    JKL33 replied to sadsacrum's topic in General Students

    Dumb. What you need is the ability to process the material, learn it, know it and be able to apply it. That is all. For some of us there is way too much drama and distraction in study...

    ...Was I being insensitive??

    JKL33 replied to Delia37's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't there but from your post as written it is not a given that she had that expectation or that she pursued travel ICU nursing thinking that she would be able to weasel out of caring for covid...

    Is this despicable behavior?

    JKL33 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nursing Career

    Side note: Adding my usual reminder that using 2 people for this task is not appropriate even if they both give it their all. It is likely far beyond the expected lifting/pushing/pulling your employer...

    Interpret This Order For Me Please

    JKL33 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe just where I've been but the 1000ml would mean hang a 1000 ml bag. And the order is D5 1/2 NS @ 60 ml for 24 hrs. So I agree with what you ended up doing. Or at least it's exactly what I...

    Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    JKL33 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    Serious question: Does any part of you feel that perhaps a manager who has time for this kind of thing right now is the seriously more unprofessional one? Like, as a matter of prudent nursing--which...

    Sign On Bonuses

    JKL33 replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    Safer bet would be to ask them to just throw in an extra $416.67 every month that you don't quit. ?? On a serious note, if you do take that money just put it away in case you need to get out....

    Med Error

    JKL33 replied to Rada's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry this happened. I'm sure you feel terrible. What are your basic circumstances, such as how much nursing experience do you have, how did you come to receive a contract at this hospital,...

    Resident Thinks I’m A Fake Nurse

    JKL33 replied to Streetnurse42's topic in General Nursing

    I think you can use this situation towards your own good. Not sure how to start/word my comment; I guess I will just clarify that my intent is not to criticize but just provide supportive food...

    Healthcare And Birthdate Imperative

    JKL33 replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're attributing a sentiment that isn't there based on something that is personal to you. There is no reason that verifying someone's birthdate by asking them to state it would be treating...

    PSA

    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    Personal preference: Ignore. If they are rolling their eyes and huffing and puffing they're just dying to have you acknowledge the behavior so they can have their chance to air their grievances handed...

    Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    JKL33 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. It was actually kind of hilarious because the person said it with such a haughty air (also meant to disparage all of us who dare to drink water). They thought it would be some kind of "gotcha"...

    Abuse Accusations

    JKL33 replied to Jess0418's topic in General Nursing

    Can't give official advice, either. But I am 99.9999% sure that I would be finding a different place to work unless this place was my only option for not being homeless. Pardon my language but in...

    Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    JKL33 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Had an admin ask us how we would feel if we went into ________ [local business, e.g. bank, insurance agency, motor vehicle dept] and the person waiting on us was "sucking on a water bottle." My...

    Does Joint Commission have any credibility left in 2022?

    JKL33 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    This is true. However, OSHA didn't state that a nurse's work station was a patient care area--as far as I can tell that was purely on admin (who blamed other various organizations PRN), sometimes for...

    "Any Nurse Is Allowed to Step Up"

    JKL33 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    A fun option would be to start maintaining strict 8 hr days. Leave on the dot. Then you'll have 20 or 30+ additional hours each week in which you are free to "step up." ? Problem

    Addressing the Nursing Burnout Crisis

    JKL33 replied to Nursing CE Central's topic in Nursing News

    I think many of us experience something like this. In my case, I will not call it burnout--which I consider to be more of a personal/individual problem where one is clearly having a crisis of sorts...
