    retracting skills; leaving role.

    JKL33 replied to readytoquit's topic in General Nursing

    Are you in part saying that you'd rather not work tele any more since schedule adjustments to accommodate the tele units are wreaking havoc on your schedule? If so you could inquire whether that's an...

    Quitting without notice?

    JKL33 replied to Ovarychiever's topic in General Nursing

    I do feel for the staff and for the managers who acknowledge and care about the way things are. But those who have the power to allow changes, provide additional resources, take advisement from...

    question in an interview that was hard

    JKL33 replied to karesssi's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wouldn't have an acceptable/professional answer either unless I sat here and thought about it or even made something up. I'm sure my on-the-fly answer isn't great but it would probably be along...

    Oh for goodness' sake. There isn't even enough information to determine the intent or purpose of the

    IVPB simultaneous or not?

    JKL33 replied to Lvl4andcounting's topic in General Students

    Can't even tell you how much grief your mindset is going to save you. Knowing someone is wrong (when they claim you are wrong) is only half the battle. The other half is having the wherewithal to not...

    JKL33 replied to grammieRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is not an accurate summary of the nurse's role and duty. Your conclusion about the current situation in a setting of numerous unvaccinated people (with or without documented...

    Covid Abuse!

    JKL33 replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nurses should report assaults to law enforcement. In case there is anyone ever reading this who does not know: HIPAA explicitly permits disclosure of PHI for the purpose of reporting a crime...

    Covid Abuse!

    JKL33 replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, it occurred to me after I posted that nothing specifies that he barged into the pharmacy in the context of a named customer...just that he barged in there and was mad about something that...

    I don’t want to work extra!

    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    You gotta get another iron in the fire, pronto. Back-up plans. Then next time they tell you you're being mandated, say, "I am able to stay today. I will be giving notice of resignation if you mandate...

    Burnout and what to do that really helps

    JKL33 replied to Kiwi82's topic in Health, Stress Management

    At this point it is on hospitals. Singing kumbaya and doing yoga and spending time with loved ones and deep breathing and enjoying hobbies and blah, blah, blah does not make up for abuse by...

    I don’t want to work extra!

    JKL33 replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    ? I would probably think of another solution, personally. I don't sully my professional/employee record due to others' poor decisions. But I do like your creativity, as this sounds an awful...

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    JKL33 replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really curious about how the ransomware thing became a large part of the central allegation here. It seems that if there is indeed some kind of negligence involved, then at its most basic it is...

    Covid Abuse!

    JKL33 replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    By the way, other sources state that the man was irate because his wife was given a vaccine without his authorization. I am disappointed that a quick search doesn't produce any evidence that he...

    Pyxis Discrepancy

    JKL33 replied to RN87's topic in General Nursing

    The spirit of my answer remains the same. That is, remain unprovoked. Don't start talking too much, making guesses, panicking, apologizing, etc. Maintain the attitude, "I am uncertain how this...

    Curious what their written policies say about all of this. Something like "all attempts will be made [...] no

    Big Med Error.

    JKL33 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry. Take a breather tomorrow, then get back at it. Don't let it become a catalyst for inordinate anxiety. She'll be okay. ETA: And so will you.

    Covid Abuse!

    JKL33 replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's bull. I mean 99.999% chance it's complete bull. I really doubt this woman was browsing the greeting card aisle when she was tackled by a nurse and given a covid immunization. Or given the wrong...

    Newborn Dies After Ransomware Attack On Hospital

    JKL33 replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Was waiting to hear from you @klone. My question is this (having pretty much no OB experience to speak of) -- is it unreasonable to think that a nurse would want to pretty much remain at the bedside...

    Master's Program and HIPAA

    JKL33 replied to BabsRN-BSN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Also, you probably don't need to call them anything any more than absolutely necessary. I don't prefer to make up names. So when possible I would say, "One patient reported...." Etc. Keep things...

    JKL33 replied to guest1163268's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I know this is an anecdote (what I'm going to say next), my report is n =1. But here has been my observation formed over years and innumerable patient experiences (first in inpatient, then ED):...

    The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    JKL33 replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    Neither one of these paragraphs are true. You actually do not do the part of the job that is specific to nursing and requires a nursing license at all. You perform some assigned tasks that are...

    Casual vs. parttime

    JKL33 replied to srd_1999's topic in General Nursing

    If you are in a position to not need benefits and if you have some long-term stability to be able to withstand the basic 'feast or famine' nature of casual/per diem, there are mostly only downsides to...
