    Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    JKL33 replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe that we haven't given enough consideration to the fact that in our large country we citizens live vastly different lifestyles. Life is very, very different between urban areas, suburbs and...

    Normal Findings List?

    JKL33 replied to kpmadden83's topic in General Students

    So frustrating. If I had a dime for the number of times I've been in classes where we were told this same thing while we're looking at a detailed and rule-happy instructions/rubric or an...

    TRAGEDY at Clinical!

    JKL33 replied to fatima abdulla's topic in General Students

    The speculation part? Just that I have no idea what the student might have known or might have told anyone about the incident and am just guessing at a plausible scenario. And I said forgive/excuse...

    PMHNP, Guaranteed Preceptors?

    JKL33 replied to Wake88's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why would that be unreasonable? What is unreasonable is the idea of collecting tuition dollars when unable or unwilling to make similar provisions available to all

    Pathophysiology - HELP!

    JKL33 replied to jwirth.rn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    We also can also assure you that it did not. Take it easy, no one is threatening your superiority. What the poster is saying is that at the expense of any possibility of retention or deeper...

    Normal Findings List?

    JKL33 replied to kpmadden83's topic in General Students

    Ditto. I searched yesterday after first reading this post and it's easy to find things to copy down. To the OP, this is not the way. Surely your introductory nursing text describe...

    TRAGEDY at Clinical!

    JKL33 replied to fatima abdulla's topic in General Students

    ...she probably told the program director she didn't know anything had gone wrong until she saw blood after all was said and done, when in reality she suspected in real time that she might have...

    Six-month mark. "Is this for me?"

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

    @Barr I'm glad you have focused on re-grouping. You're gonna be okay. Let us know how things are

    "New Nurse"

    JKL33 replied to BB0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So at this point you have had about 20 floor shifts total for orientation? That's almost 7 weeks of (3) 12s per week (equivalent). I'd say 8, 10 or 12 weeks is a more reasonable orientation for...

    Quitting a New Job

    JKL33 replied to desandseek's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you're sure about your feelings on this, then just use the standard "not the right fit" type wording. Be generally gracious. Personally I would decline to elaborate and if pushed I would say as...

    Scope of Practice Question

    JKL33 replied to kjones1982's topic in General Nursing

    This is more a matter of legalities, technicalities and liability than a scope of practice issue. An RN generally has the proper training to perform an injection and the training/knowledge to...

    Burned Out?

    JKL33 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I stand by my original assessment of the concept of burnout. If I'm burned out on something, it's something enjoyable that I'm just personally tired of. I would never naturally use that terminology to...

    Seasoned Nurses Make Me Feel Incompetent

    JKL33 replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you feel like everything you are doing is all wrong, when the example you gave is of one of these busy-bodies being the wrong one? You need a different perspective! ? These people...

    Vaccination Mandating

    JKL33 replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Damn. This is up on top again and I read too fast and my brain processed it as "vacation mandating." I thought we were gonna get to talk about that.

    Nurses: The Only Way Through This Pandemic is Radical Self-Care

    JKL33 replied to mlee71113's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I was raised doing hard work even as a child, adolescent and young adult. I think work ethic is very valuable, both working diligently and doing one's best. I'm not one whose tendency would be to...

    New Grad’s New Role

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

    I do not have experience with the RN role in LTC, but have a couple of comments that seem true regardless: 1. If they are accepting patients to the facility without the ability and/or intention...

    New nurse, just told to find another unit

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

    This is likely nothing more than a mismatch between their desires and reality. It may not have been a great choice of position for you if they were not willing to provide training similar to what...

    Forgot to call doc after lab called

    JKL33 replied to Brittney Johnson's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's a bad feeling because you want to do your best for patients. But this is not the kind of thing that would typically cause someone to lose their license. You reported this to your...

    Complete Red Flag Mess- Should I Quit New L&D Job?

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

    I would think hard on this, and do it quickly before too much time passes. Sometimes good places do get off to a bad start for completely normal reasons, such as a key person being on a...

    Sabotaged at Work

    Agree--leave. This is ridiculous and malicious behavior and the fact that it's being tolerated is even worse than the behavior

    Being A New Grad Is Hard. How Do You Deal With Making Mistakes?

    JKL33 replied to NursingHopeful95's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It was a simple mistake and very small potatoes. Let it go. Believing that your every move should (or can) be perfect is a negative, destructive pattern. Through the years nurses have been manipulated...

    Cricothyrotomy kits on crash carts?

    JKL33 replied to solneeshka's topic in General Nursing

    No. They are located in airway boxes (portable) and for ED they are also in trauma/resus room
