    Article by HuffPost: The Essential Items Nurses Always Keep In Their Bag

    JKL33 replied to britk64's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It's pretty cringe. But agree, no need to apologize. Not your fault someone had a slow day in the superficial-article-writing

    Per Diem Pay is So Great- Should I Quit NP School?

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

    Not to put a damper on a good opportunity but acute care seems to be a race to the bottom lately (not strictly due to covid). It is unclear if or when those in charge might rethink the hole they have...

    RN Jobs That Do Not Require Covid Vaccine

    JKL33 replied to TraumaRN52's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I've gotta know the significance of this. Please share. ? We've been calling it the ED/emergency department for a long time. It seems to be big health system preferred lingo. Everything done...

    RN Meeting With Corporate Compliance Over "Privacy Matter" Looking for Advice

    JKL33 replied to EDNurseCleveland's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yep. Manager was either afraid that she would be held responsible for not doing anything about something that could be made to sound iffy, or simply used the OP situation to look like she is really on...

    Preceptor Issues

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

    Understandable. Try the suggestions and see where it takes you. While you are thinking this over, remember that there are so many explanations for a situation like this. Maybe she is sort of...

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

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

    Hello. What you are describing is at least somewhat typical as far as the significant number of new things to be learned and how uncomfortable that feeling is. I kind of doubt that you are...

    Preceptor Issues

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

    Hello, I doubt you are being difficult; nothing you said sounds like that. But you do need to be pleasantly assertive. In the course of a shift there are numerous opportunities to be...

    New Grad Programs - Do they not tell you what shift you work?

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

    This is ridiculous and would have been neither expected nor accepted up until relatively recently. This sort of maneuver tells you the ethics of the potential employer right off the bat. Pay...

    Suicide screening

    JKL33 replied to Samantha Falkowski's topic in Emergency

    That is a perspective I've heard/considered. Another is that, sure, someone's life is worth it. The problem is that screening inappropriately is actually wasting resources that could be better...

    RN Gen Z vs RN Gen X

    JKL33 replied to XXX ZZZ's topic in General Nursing

    Ooof. Michael, this sounds dysfunctional. I'm not sure what exactly it has to do with your generational-related title. Many a nurse has been trained by a younger person with more nursing...

    Do I take the job?

    JKL33 replied to Fla Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Mmm...if you're only about a year into this, the dumpster isn't even warm yet. Just wait. The shooting flames and explosions will be starting any time. Leave, and congratulate yourself on your...

    Suicide screening

    JKL33 replied to Samantha Falkowski's topic in Emergency

    Heck yes; wholeheartedly agree. In fact I had quite the verbal back-and-forth row trying to convey these exact concepts in a discussion on this forum a few years back. I say the exact same--granted I...

    Suicide screening

    JKL33 replied to Samantha Falkowski's topic in Emergency

    That would depend upon why the screenings aren't getting done. As already mentioned, not only are tablet questionnaires not being filled out, no one is asking the questions verbally. Why?...

    Covid Abuse!

    JKL33 replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah, TBH I just wanted to write the bit about the ham.

    Covid Abuse!

    JKL33 replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The nurse had a partner in crime out on the street who drug this patient into the pharmacy and made her stand in line and made her wait until her name was called and made her sit down in a chair and...

    The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    JKL33 replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    One thing you're not acknowledging is your duty to the patient. You are not to put them in a situation where they have to either put up with you or ask you to cease your behavior. You are really there...

    Lost Item

    JKL33 replied to FalconFlight's topic in General Nursing

    There will be someone, no matter where you go in life, who isn't really operating on a level of kindness and ethics. You can't judge an organization by that. One night I was called to one of the...

    I hate my Med surg position

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

    Two basic options are: 1. Find a way to survive it by following the important principles of what you were taught in school, consulting your resources and doing the best job you can. Avoiding...

    @EDNurseCleveland - How did it go on

    Have debt but don't know if I want to be an NP?

    JKL33 replied to daisychains11's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of bullying and attacks are we talking about? There's no shame in taking a deep look into it all. Worrying about uncovering a personal problem is the wrong way to look at it. Rather, we...

    Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    JKL33 replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    Emphasis on your very last words. They were responsible because they delegated completely inappropriately--not because someone did something. Understand that hospitals are not the law. They...

    How to deal with management who "disciplines" you for no good reason?

    JKL33 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I'm middle of the road on this, or my thoughts are split: 1. I think it is morally repugnant to expect on-duty clinical staff to join in these kinds of activities while also holding them...

    Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    JKL33 replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    No you cannot. I mean this kindly but you cannot. It isn't just that since there's no official scope for you then you can do anything. Remember that there are also scopes of other professions that...

    If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    JKL33 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    In addition, patients are not part of my personal support system or part of my subconscious internal calculations of self-esteem/self-worth. They are completely separate from me. For most of my career...

    Group Assignments

    JKL33 replied to runner_rn_91's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes I do. Review your study materials and resources in order to compose a complete answer, for your own learning process. That is the #1 objective. Keep tabs on what 5 or so of the other...
