    Unwelcoming Facility/Shunning

    JKL33 replied to HopetheEmpath's topic in General Nursing

    Out of curiosity, how did you respond to this?

    Diploma and Associate Degree in Nursing

    JKL33 replied to LasercopyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Is this topic for an assignment? If so, I would like to register my opinion that this topic isn't worth precious educational time when people should be learning all that is needed to provide...

    Who should decide?

    Wow!

    Who should decide?

    JKL33 replied to PPediRN's topic in Nursing News

    That illustrates how self-focused people can be. It seems we are talking about situations where people have decided that admitting someone is gone is the worst that could happen to them, therefore it...

    Can you hold medications without a doctor's order?

    JKL33 replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    I see your point. Clears up how this issue becomes confusing. Part of the distinction your explanation makes has to do with time—at least in my mind. Putting the med on “hold” status implies a...

    In the wake of Covid. The times, they are a changing

    JKL33 replied to Guest 1152923's topic in General Nursing

    I expect this as well. I’ve suspected they’ll drive the train in that direction since before Covid. Why wouldn’t they? I’ve seen places put a new FNP as their sole hospitalist and have them...

    Can you hold medications without a doctor's order?

    JKL33 replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    I think there is some confusion within the thread because the hold/held/holding verbiage has historically been used when a when a (final) decision has been made to not administer a scheduled dose...

    Is my nursing instructor bullying me?

    JKL33 replied to lexieanders's topic in General Students

    I don't say this flippantly--you may not have much potential for legal remedy here (I don't know), but I would like to think there's at least the possibility. Given the circumstances I absolutely...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Very true, all speculation. But....to that point, there's something like 9 or so female nurses for every male nurse in many nurses' workplaces. So that's why I said I'm not so sure this was even...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Sort of off-topic side note: Some years ago I decided I would no longer refer to this role using the chaperone terminology in the workplace. *Since we are talking about communication ?,...

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, thanks. I went back and read it again. You are correct. I think the nuts and bolts here are essentially still the same, the theme being: "I had a problem with my romantic partner...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. No I don't think that. My feeling about this is that I think it is messed up, especially the part where the OP gets reported. My previous posts have made that clear. I stated that I...

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I am not an American man but I don't think I'm exaggerating my perception/belief that the average American man simply does not have this liberty, at ALL. Are there specific situations where it would...

    Vaccination Mandating

    JKL33 replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Excellent. I'm glad to hear that. Sounds like you have made an assessment of the situation in your area and I will stand by my original comment as well. Take

    I Don't Care About Statistics

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unreasonable before covid and unreasonable during covid. I have said this for years. This promulgated idea, historically supported by nursing, that decent people become what we are talking about...

    I Don't Care About Statistics

    JKL33 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, you're pretending that people who are more pissed off than usual because they have chosen to believe that WE are the boogeyman who is out to get them are just frustrated due to the normal reasons...

    Vaccination Mandating

    JKL33 replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I get your perspective and understand your frustration with the unvaccinated (which I share) but I'm not a subscriber to the idea that covid is or ever has been the core reason that so many people...

    Not being paid anything for overtime hours worked during orientation. Is this legal?

    JKL33 replied to GbabyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is an old post and yes it is hopefully unusual--because it is illegal. It's not that the OP is not getting "overtime pay" (time and a half or whatever), it's that s/he isn't getting paid AT ALL...

    Yep. And that is completely different than already having some conspiracy theory idea about why the medical team is suggesting something as soon as the words come out of their mouth. Those are...

    Lost and Confused...

    JKL33 replied to AriRN33's topic in General Nursing

    ? No way. Just the thought of them floating that idea is offensive, like the ones who proudly advertise their rotating shifts. An employer who tells you to take on their scheduling...

    How To Deal With Nasty Coworkers: Do you have any experiences?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I think your response from the other scenario would be great here! "Please leave me out of this, I don't want to hear about your personal problems. Go talk to someone who cares.
