    retracting skills; leaving role.

    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?

    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...
  3. 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...
  4. Oh for goodness' sake. There isn't even enough information to determine the intent or purpose of the

    IVPB simultaneous or not?

    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...

    Yes, I'm Vaxxed But...

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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...
  10. 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!

    ? 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...
  12. 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!

    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

    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...

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

    Big Med Error.

    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!

    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...
  19. 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

    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...

    Covid Abuse!

    The other day I left the grocery store and walked back to my vehicle and there was an elderly man whose vehicle was parked on my driver's side and he was arranging his groceries in his car with the...

    Covid Abuse!

    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):...
  24. 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

    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...
